why no chance ? which year is the P1 registration due ?

yeah, why no chance at all? As long as you have not missed the \"deadline\" for applying PV, I don't think they choose PVs purely on distance. As long as you have a strong case (I mean, you offer what the school needs), you should have a good chance too. But just in case, to be ks, you may want to indicate that you are planning to move to within 1 km soon? Not sure if it helps or not, but worth a try.

My DD is due for P1 registration for P1 next Jun/July. She is born in 2005. From reading the discussions, can I conclude & ask the following:


1. Registration deadline is not yet closed for my DD. However, if the school has taken and accepted enough parents for PV for that year(due for P1 in 2012), all applications will be futile?

2. Even if they still take in applications, if at the point of applying for PV, you stay outside of 2 km, your chance of getting selected for interview is slim, and as good as none? Unless, you indicate your intention to move within 1 km before registration?

3. How does NYPS choose their PV applicants? They handpicked through resumes and NOT through balloting? I know some schools ballot as the no. of applications exceed the no. of places available to do PV.

4. What other schools handpicked their PV?

Thanks for enlightening me : ))

affiliation is not the same as being the same school

long time ago, NYPS was not a separate school from NYGH like now. it was functioning as part of the Nanyang Girls School, primary section (with boys) - so were u part of the secondary school while the primary SECTION was still part of the school ? that is the question.

if not mistaken, u can claim phase 2A (1/2?) if u were in the secondary section before the school was split into officially primary school and girls high school

never mind about the alumni in the same family which also includes the kindergarten

i think the NY family is trying their best to accomodate as many as possible who can claim kinship under phase 2A (1/2?)

Hi! I do not know how NYPS chooses its PVs (not via balloting thou) but I don't think distance plays a part. I live more than 2km from the school and was accepted as a PV. My advice is to go ahead and put in your application and wish for the best!! Best of luck

It should be 1978. So if you are in NYGH before that, your kids should qualify for phase 2A. But best confirm with NYPS.
