2010 P1 Registration Exercise for 2011 In-Take

[Mum_2Gals]

Hi all,


Not sure whether it’s ok to post here…

I’m trying to choose between two schools-
1>Nan Hua Primary
2>Henry Park Primary

I think both are good schools, home-school distance abt the same, both eligible for registration in Phase 2A…

Tough decision, so really appreciate any advice from all…
Thanks

Hi Mum_2Gals,

If I were you, I would choose Nan Hua Primary.

Honestly, both ARE good and popular schools. It's a pleasant dilemma for you to be under 2A in both instances.

A lot of parents will thank you if you opt for HPPS cos I gather it's much harder to get into Nan Hua these days. I recall last year's stats - NH was much tougher to get in compared with Nanyang P Sch.

It's really your own call as to where you want your kids to be in - the school culture, the environment, logistics. Some other factors to consider - available ECAs/other programmes, school strength/niche areas.

Both are good schools and they are GEP schools too. I just have a feeling Nan Hua is stronger in Chinese and Henry Park is stronger in English. If I were you i won't feel stressful at all since you are eligible for 2A.

For my case last time, i have to pray so hard that there are less applicants than the vacancies in 2B so that there won't be balloting.

Hi hquek,

Yes, It is a \"pleasant dilemma\" but still a difficult decision :oops: Actually I have 3 choices for phase 2A cos my sec sch is a full sch, so also eligible for the primary section. :oops:

You're right. will try to know more abt the schools first, didn't consider CCAs and other programmes...........thanks

Hi KSP,

that's partly why I'm undecided now. I know Nan Hua is strong in Chinese and Henry Park is strong in English...., but I'm not sure abt the standard of English in Nan Hua or the standard of Chinese in Henry Park...

Which school is more \"bilingual\"???

I'm stressed cos not sure which school to choose.... :oops: :oops:

[VooVoo]

Nan Hua for me. I think it is also a SAP school?

I think Nan Hua is the no. 2 school in Singapore after Nanyang. Can’t recall where I read about this though.


I agree that both Nan Hua and Henry Park are very good schools and difficult to get in. Hubby’s colleague has kids in Henry Park and said that it was very streeful there. So far I heard those kindergarten classmates of my DS1 had been enjoying school.
