Anyone has experience in Gymnastic CCA ? What’s the time commitment required to do it as a CCA ? I noticed the gym was reserved for the school practice from Tues to Friday 2 - 5 pm. Does it mean that the school team will practice 4 times / week ?

[thankgod]

Hi … anyone knows if there is an affiliated Secondary School for the boys in NYPS? Naturally the Girls have NYGH as a choice. What about the boys? Where do the boys from NYPS go for their Secondary education?

NYPS does not have an affiliated secondary school for boys.
However, since it is a SAP school, u can use the HCL bonus points for HCI.

Most definitely. And if you still want your child to get into NYPS, then get him to work hard and shoot for GEP.[/quote]

Hi BigDevil,

Any idea the hit rate for GEP among NYPS themselves? How many new GEPers are from non-NYPS ?

thanks

NYPS each year intake is 390 (13 classes x 30 students)

From P4 onwards, GEP classes usually number around 4 classes ( 4 x 25 students) = 100 GEPpers, while mainstream incl HA are 10 classes x 40 = 400

so total cohort size is around 480 to 500 from P4 to P6

the nett increase of 80 to 100 students are not all GEP, some are mainstream students transferred from elsewhere

I reckon NYPS own students made up at least 50% to 60% of the GEP cohort in NYPS

I can tell u it's < 50% for 2009 GEP intake.
But why is past staistics important, HyperKiasu?
It's just an old statistics.
Is it a gauge for future performance?

If NYPS can consistently do 50 - 60% for GEP;
That's way above the national average!
then ALL parents should endeavour to enrol their kids into NYPS,
for laughing out loud!

[verykiasu2010]

GEP each year numbers around 500 nationally or approx 1% of the yearly cohort


recent years’ baby harvest are less than 50,000 a year, so as a %, it is about 1.2%

for NYPS, yearly GEP cohort is about 4 classes after transfer from other schools that don’t have critical mass to start any GEP class

if NYPS’s own students make up to 50% of the GEP cohort in the school, it means around 50 students - out of the original intake of 390… that is about 12% of its own students

[verykiasu2010]

besides GEP classes, NYPS’s mainstream classes are also doing very well


the yearly overall result speak for itself - high % of students who scored 250and above, high % of students got into Sec 1 via DSA…

[Way2GO]

That’s what I was saying.

If NYPS’s GEPers is 12 to 12.5% of 2009 P34 intake,
they are way above the national average of ~1%.

Is there a concentration of smart students in NYPS?
Ha!

The GEPers intake for 2010 in NYPS was 105 students.
less than 50 were from NYPS P3.
