Hi Big Devil,

It was posted on the http://nyps-p1level2010.blogspot.com/, as well as DD's class blog.

Problem is that my session was yesterday, and the blog was posted at 9:36am...yesterday!! :stupid:

I feel the same way as you. The session for my DS’s class was scheduled for this morning at 1015 and I found out about this only at 1100!! I wonder why parents were not informed earlier…

there will be plenty of opportunities to network in the future if you wish


don’t worry about missed sessions

go to meeting point and will meet many parents there

No reason given. It was a general email only to notify parents to try other school.

Dear NYPS Parents,

I am currently staying outside 2km of NYPS, and I am very keen to enrol my boy in the school because of its academic focus and its strength in Chess. My boy came in 2nd in a recent chess competition, and wondering if NYPS would give us priority in registration for P1, even though we are outside 2km. Anyone here can help to give us some advice??

thanks alot!

Outside of 2km based on past years stats are likely to have no chance in balloting at Phase 2C

For special treatment like this, I don't think we can tell you for certain since we don't represent the school. You can only try speak to the principal and see if they give such special treatment.

IMHO, I doubt you will get priority registering. If they give you priority, then they would have to do the same for the kid who came in first? Then how about 3rd, 4th?

Hi,

thanks! Will heed your advice and aim to get in the neighbourhood school within 1km of my place first.
