Good / bad in the sense of the teachers (whether they are dedicated or not) and the students (which also means the disciplinary there). Smile

hi,

When I went there last Dec, the registrar told us that discipline was very strict, they do expel students for breaching rules. Once a while, a random urine test is carried out for drug purpose.

I remember a friend's friend sent 2 daughters there for A-level, they have good opinions of the school.

The headmaster is new from UK Worcester School???(independent school), can't remember the exact name, he told us he was surprise of the school result, better than his previous school.

Oh...wow, ok...That's good news b'coz my kids plan to start schooling within this mth and y'day i've jz visited the school. The Principle wasn't there coz it's an exeat week. My first impression of the school is that, it's a really good school. My children love the environment. I did not register them yet to the school for i do not know whether the teachers (staffs) are dedicated in teaching. Therefore, I'll make a visit to the school again nxt week.
