What class is your child in? Mine is in P1 Resilience.

Thought the classes used to be called Peace, Joy, etc?

NYPS was my first choice, however was balloted out at 2C.
Nevertheless, DS is still excited about BTPS because there is no need to tuck in the school shirt. :lol:

I heard from my ex-colleague that BTPS is a very good sch. His 2 dds are currently studying there. As a matter of fact, recently heard that BTPS produces lots of GEP students every year.

As parents, we will continue to groom him well no matter which school he's going.

He was a little bit disappointed that he can't learn Calligrahpy in NYPS though. Son is pretty \"chinese\" in a way, loves chinese culture.

I guess BTPS was our *only* choice since there was no school within 1km from where I stay (except the CHIJ which only my youngest girl can go to, in 5 years' time?). We also didn't have any alumni / church affliation.


What is important is that our children must develop a love and good foundation for learning wherever they are studying.

From what I gather from KSP, BTPS sounds good, and my hubby like it as it is not so \"pressurising\" like the other schools in Bukit Timah area (he doesn't believe in stressing the children out, unlike me :lol: ).

Looking forward to the orientation on 22 Nov and to meet the teacher (and maybe even some of you guys!) and to know more about BTPS.
