I'm a GEP student from HPPS, so feel free to question me. Greetings anyways.

May I know whether the school has Math Olympiad training starting at which age? Do they engage any external vendor to train the kids?

Anybody whose kid is going HPPS next year and staying around Bishan st 11? Looking for carppool or shared transport as an alternative to school bus since the journey is quite long.

Hi Peapot,

I also have a boy in P2 this year. He will be in P3 next year.

Hi Sun2010,
Thanks for the explanation on the streaming of classes. If the selection of the kids are still randomly picked, I rather they don’t stream at all. Do you have any idea if they will move the kids again end of P3 or P4 etc? Will they stay on the same class from now on? We were not brief on this at all!

My girl will be entering Henry Park next year but we can't seem to find any school bus that is willing to pick her up from Bedok. Does anyone have any suggestions? :?:

Looks like the bus operators are not prepared for those "long-distance" kids…

Hi,

At the end of P3, the kids will be streamed every year until P5. Afterwhich, P5 & P6 will remain in the same class.

I have two kids, 1 going P4 & another going P5 next yr. It seems like there are more 'I' classes for P4 compared to P5. Not too sure about the allotment of the better students.

Hmm..just like the areas in the far north was not covered as well.
Did u seek the sch help? I thought the sch bus operator will assign the bus regardless of the distance, just that the amount maybe higher.

Worst case scenario is to take MRT to Bona Vista and then change bus 92 to the sch.

Seriously, that's too far a distance for a child to travel. Not only long hours of travel both ways, her lunch and dinner will be at odd hours if she's eating at home. If u're working, u probably won't get much time to revise and go through her work with her after school.

U shd seriously consider moving nearer to HPPS or transfer her to a nearby school at ur current residence. If shifting is not feasible, u might want to try ur luck waitlisting at another nearby school. There are movements between schools now. All the best!
