wel it depends if there is a straight bus it will be really convenient…from previous students, my bukit panjang kids do better than alot of other students. And the subject combination offered in the school is good. For example, many schools do not offer A math for NA but Bukit Panjang offers

hi


as a tutor I have encountered many NA and Express students. I strongly think Express will be a better choice. In NA, only combined science is offered. However, if your child works very hard for the first 2 years, it is possible for him to do Pure sciences. At least if he opts for Express, he has that chance to try to qualify for Pure Science class.
Secondly, if your child does not do well in ‘O’ Levels, student can retake ‘O’ levels ( so that will be 5 years in Seconday School), which is similar to NA. Therefore, I feel Express is still a better option.
Previously, I had a student who did very badly in Secondary 3 ( failed everything except English). The school gave him an option to drop to NA or continue Sec 4 ‘O’ Levels. The school strongly advised his parents to move him to NA. But he did not. He came to me in his Sec 4 year and told me he needs tuition for everything. With sheer determination and peseverance, he managed to score Eng B3, E math A2, Principles of Accounts A1, Science B3, SS/Geo B3 and Chinese C6.

hi,


as a tutor, I have taught many students from various schools. And I have to say I am really impressed with the students from Bukit Panjang Govt High. This year, I had about 7 boys from that school.All are in Normal Academic (sec 5). However, their ability to grasp concepts is far better than my ‘O’ Levels students. Also, looking through many prelim papers, I feel that Bukit Panjang’s paper is among the most difficult papers and many students still achieving fair results. Therefore, if you have to choose a government school in the west, i should think Bukit Panjang.

chinese literature is a different thing all together…Chinese in JC is similar to Higher Chi in ‘O’ Levels.

However, if a child is doing Chinese B syllabus in ‘O’ Levels, he can still do chinese B in Jc
