Eh.. Is ur dd in wisdom class?tingting2424:
I'm not too sure if its good news anot as its not the only preschool in the area.. most of her frens have siblings or have parents who are alumni in other schs.. A percentage of her frens are pr or jap.. The jap frens are going to jap sch or international sch.. Out of her class, including her, only 3 is applying for NYPS..some unknown cos never see the parents..
Eh i think my dd went to the same preschool with your kid... -

Ksp,
I feel it will be a waste not to register the child in NYPS if there is a chance. Firstly it will be easier for their chldren to get into NYPS if the parents are from the same school and secondly I can't think of any school better than NYPS.
I do agree with u that it's a waste cos we are staying very very near the sch.. Can even say right at the doorstep.. Her aunt is from NYPS but it doesn't help us at all.. Plus the fact from the goodwill of grandparents that we stay together for the sake of getting their grandchildren into the sch.. Gave up thots of putting them in either dh or my former schs..one in cck and the other in tiong bahru.. -
I m an old girl of NYPS.
After close contact with existing parents and students of NYPS, interactions with NYPS staff, I got the updated understanding of the school and its culture. Frankly, it is surprising and i dont like it at all.
Both my in-laws whom held senior positions in teaching shared my views.
Lastly, i was lucky to have met an old friend. She is a director /principal of an educational institution. I only got to know that she got her eldest girl in NYPS and the other 2 younger girls in RGPS. Hence, i asked for her opinion. She shared with me much insights and concluded that RGPS is definitely a better choice!
With affirmations from various sources, I have decided to FORGO NYPS 2A, and GO for RGPS 2C.
It might be more risky for me as I am 1 - 2 km from RGPS. But it’s worth the try! -

hi
It may be safer for you to register at NYPS under 2A2 first. Then monitor the situation over at RGPS.
If the situation during 2C is favourable to you, then withdraw from NYPS and register at RGPS.
Else, you may end up not able getting into both NYPS & RGPS.

If you talk to more parents in any schools, you will bound to hear both positive and negative comments of the school.
Another point to note is NYPS is affiliated NYGH (for girls only) but RGPS is not affiliated to RGS.
Lastly, you should secure a place first in NYPS during P2A and later see whether there is any balloting in RGPS during P2C for 1-2km. This is to play safe that you won't end up losing both schools. -
