Hi,


Any of your child took school bus to Kings Road campus and take shuttle bus from there to Toh Tuck? Do we need to pay for the shuttle bus service?

Yes you have to pay for it. $200 for a one way shuttle bus from KRC > TTC.

Any one who has kids staying in Punggol?

I wonder what time the kids got to wake up if they stay ard Punggol/Sengkang area....gosh :scared:

5 something in morning. Think carefully, branded school is very good but the distance and travelling will tire your child. 6 years bus journey to and fro is no joke.

Even when I am staying very near to the school ( Behind Raffles town club), my son had to wake up at 5-530am to prepare for school as the sch bus came to pick him up at 6am daily! Ridiculous.
Luckily I'm driving him to school now.

Have to think carefully as waking up really early, means going to bed early too.
The time take to travel....
good luck.

They usually have activities for the children : snow city, overnight camp, etc

But the school doesn't mind if you take your child out for overseas trip. Many have done it before.

And they also give avail places to siblings of those who got in via GEP!

VooVoo:

I think the school reserves the right to allocate \"priority\" to those on their wait list....regardless of your \"reasons\". For instance, PVs who had contributed to the school would be at a higher priority

normally, if vacancy arise after P1 registration end -
active, contributing (2A + 2B PV) failed in balloting (in the eyes of Principal of Nanyang primary ) : have priority over any 2C.

Since 40 seats are reserved :-
Most 2A2 ex students will probably now pay $1000 alumni fees, to join the alumuni association, so as to qualify under Phase 2A1, so as to avoid balloting in 2A2.
However, if every ex student does so, Phase 2A1 will still require balloting.
In the event 2A1 get balloted out, after Phase 2A end, they'll fill up a waitlist form.

After Phase 2B end -
Those balloted out will also fill up the same, identical waitlist form.

After Phase 2C end -
Those balloted out do likewise, fill up the same waitlist form, too.

In the end, who are those queuing up, inside waitlist form ?
Will be the \"balloted out\" parents from Phase (2A + 2B + 2C).
But to the Principal, who are the parents that she know personally ?
Will be the active ones from Phase 2A + 2B Parent Volunteer(s).
Because P had seen them before, talked to them before, in school.
P Know them personally, even before P1 registration July exercise begin.
In life, \"Who you know, is important\".

Does P know the \"balloted out\" parents from (inactive 2A or 2B Grassroot or 2C from public) ?
They are strangers to her.

Inside the waitlist form :-
If comment written inside waitlist form, like \"balloted out during Phase X. I am an active Alumni member, or I am an active Parent Volunteer. My name is Yyy. I contributed zzz hours in ... \" -
This type of appeal will carry weight, because it is a direct contribution to the school.
Bottom line is :-
What have you contributed to my school, so that I can take your child in, in the event you fail during balloting ?

Well then, isn't it a blessing that ny is not a full school.


For schools like MGs, scgs, Younger siblings of Secondary Students (who didn't attend the primary school) can apply for a place at the primary school and 100% guaranteed a place (phase 1).

Can anyone help me with this question?? I am an alumni from Nanyang. If my son is a PR and we are going back next year, can I enroll him into Nanyang? He would be in Pri. 3? What are the chances they would accept him? Also, his Chinese is probably at kindergarten level

THanks!!!

Sorry that I don't have an answer for your question but I think priority for alumni is applicable for P1 registration only (just guessing). It is better to give a call to the school.

I guess your chances depend on how long the waitlist for P3 is currently? Should give the school a call...
