<![CDATA[Bishan Park Vs Whitley]]>Bishan Park


Principal is new (3-4 years). Very bias as the son is from Hwa Chong. The school is very unorganise in terms of planning events. Teachers are also leaving and so are the canteen vendors. But kudos to the PSG as they are very active,the most recent event they participated in is prom.

Judo is the niche area for sports CCA and altho making the school proud, the students from Judo were not given many opportunities to experience overseas training. Heard there was a proposal to go to HK but rejected for no reason.

Art is also a niche area. They have a special program called "art talent program" where those that are more gifted in art are given opportunities to do ceramics.calligraphy and so on.

Overall its a okay school. Wouldn’t recommend tho.

Understand that the student population is small so all the teachers know most students. The parent support grp seems active. Not sure about the academic results.


Could not access Whitley web site info during last week to find out open hse info. So did not go to their open hse (if any)

Understand there is another Sec school in Bishan, near Bishan Park Sec; Peirce Sec School.

However I am not too sure whether is it value added for the express or normal academic or both streams. Also I think there was a change in the principal. I am also not too sure the valued added was during the old or current principal.


Sorry, can’t help much here.

- How's their historical O level results?
- teachers - general caring & approachable?
- discipline - are they strict & students well behaved?
- CCA - which ones are their niche?
- strengths or weaknesses of school?

Thanks 🙂
