Gongshang Primary School Review — P1 Guide & 2026 Updates

About Gongshang Primary School

Gongshang Primary School is a co-ed primary school in Singapore, in the East zone.

It offers 11 CCAs.

School overview

Gongshang began in January 1920 as the Chinese Industrial and Commercial Continuation School, a night school founded by Shi Su at Tanjong Pagar Road. A day school followed that year. It moved to York Hill in 1929, was renamed Gongshang Primary in 1984 and moved to Tampines in 1986 before settling at its current Tampines Street 42 premises in 1987. It became single-session in 2015. This history explains its name and neighbourhood moves without implying that a long history establishes present classroom quality.

Fluent Speakers, Future Stars uses both English and Mother Tongue languages. Tier 1 covers Primary 1 to 3 with read-aloud, show-and-tell, group storytelling and drama activities. Tier 2 is for selected Primary 3 to 5 pupils, adding presentation skills, junior newscasting, reporting, ambassador and emcee roles. This distinction matters for families attracted by public-speaking opportunities: the general foundation is broader than the advanced, selected roles. Ask how selection works and what ordinary classroom speaking practice remains available to pupils outside the second tier.
