Too low. PV in NYPS requires much more hours than is usual also.

Hi wyq,

Does Nanyang primary allow parents staying outside 2 km, to be applicants for Parent Volunteer ?
Although the PV Application Form itself does not explicitly indicate any info, perhaps you may want to call up the school, to clarify first.

PV form is here :-

school's contact telephone number is here :-

Refering to past years' Balloting historical trend, under Phase 2B, balloting was conducted, for less than 1 km in year (2016, 2015, 2014, etc)

Do you notice that for certain years, even if you're selected to do PV : for parents staying outside 2 km, there is No guarantee that they may have the chance to even ballot, under Phase 2B. This is the risk that they take, if selected.

May I know what is the criteria for applying PV in NYPS? Is it worth being a PV?

So to be sure, I have to call the school to confirm whether I am eligible for PV in NYPS because I am staying >2km? Is it worth being a PV in this care? thanks!

Hi wyq,

Yes, best to call up the school : clarify if they do accept PV applicants or not, for those staying outside 2 km.

Last time, I have a friend who studied at Nanyang Girls' High before (NYGH was her ex Secondary school), but her ex primary school wasn't NYPS. But she really wanted her daughter to study in NYPS, very much. So, she applied to be a PV. In the end, she was luckily selected to be a PV, even though she stayed beyond 2 km. But that was last time, years ago. Now not sure, if things have changed, or not.

Is the PV worth it ?
Think the answer is subjective.

If your child is a daughter : it is worth it, if your daughter can get in, after clocking at least 80 hours of PV work, since NYPS girls are affliated to NYGH, provided can meet their Affliation Cut-off-point requirements, which come under the new AL PSLE scheme, for your daughter's case.

If your child is a son : because no affliation to Hwa Chong, the opinion is subjective : although a number of parents still very much love the strong school culture and the thick, rich, decades of historical ambience plus the conducive SAP environment, here.

GEP results are out today. Does anyone know when META invites are out?

[Happy70]

It used to be that all the kids who passed the screening (first) round would automatically be in the META classes. Has that changed?

I don't think so. It's the 2-5% identified by MOE at the 2nd Round. So pass 1st round (top 10%) but not in top 5% will not be in META. And there's a cap of 70 students in META.
