Hi all,

Anyone has any comments about the school? Eg like the school in general, the teachers and environment. Looking to enrol my son for next year Pri 1.

Hi All,

I have looked at all the posts on TKPS. Very useful comments.

We are new citizens in Singapore and are very much looking forward to getting our kids the true blue Singapore education experience. TKPS is within 1-2 Kms of our current residence. I would like to know the following and will be very appreciative of any useful response. My child will only apply for Preschool in 2023 but I need to know whether we should move residence, stay in the same area and / or volunteer here or somewhere else - as we will not be eligible in Phase 1 and 2A.

1. Parent volunteer. Can I start community volunteer in Marine Parade GRC and will that count towards TKPS 2B quota?
2. Can my kid take Chinese as MTL even though we are not chinese and none of other MTL fit either? He is learning chinese in preschool.
3. Is there a lot of academic pressure in this school compared to say, other similarly ranked school?
4. I have heard that schools here tend to separate kids based on their academic ranking pretty early in P1? Is that correct and does it happen in TKPS?
5. Was there balloting in 2B and 2C last year? I have searched the website but just cannot find this information and will be helpful if someone could let me know please!

Thank you so much.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Wanted to ask for views on TKPS in terms of how the school is faring academically, the teachers and environment?

We have intended to try for Tao Nan but we are between 1-2km and are starting to do volunteering but reckon the chances would still be very low. Hence we are considering TKPS.

Really appreciate your reply!

Thank you!

Tao Nan has been balloting for Phase 2B within 1km for the last 5 years! So I'm afraid you would be wasting your time. TKPS has been known to have more foreigners, but it is still a pretty decent school. But it has been balloting for Phase 2C recently for those >2km.

I’m really worried. I joined the Clan just for that and appeared that chances are still low and we couldn’t get a house that is within 1km.

Any idea how’s the teaching like? Are they more strict?

May i inquire for how many seats how many people above 2km balloted in TKPS last year in Phase 2C

You need to state the Phase you want to participate in.
