How about Henry Park? Does it have any affiliation?

Hi onemore parent,


No secondary school affiliation for Henry Park Primary - I’m afraid.

The national "average" PSLE score is about 210-220 range I think. Most popular secondary schools minimum entry score is at least 240, therefore your child has to be above average academic ability to enter such schools. Therefore it makes "good" sense that you opt for affiliation school if possible because the cut-off point for affiliated primary school can be "40" marks lower! Example, to get into SCGS Secondary express is at least 250 for "outsiders" but if you are affiliated, you get in at 200 point. Less stress & pressure in Primary 6 if you are in affiliated school. But of course, you pray that the secondary school does not increase the minimum cut off point for affiliated school when your child is in P6!

Any definite answer with regards to

NYPS to HwaChong?

My husband graduated from Chinese High, now know as Hwa Chong Institution. Will that guarantee my son a place under phase 2A1 if he is also in the alumni?

No, it doesn't. NYPS has no affiliation to any secondary schools if i'm not mistaken. Furthermore, if one belongs to a primary's school affiliated secondary school but did not graduate from that particular primary school, they do not qualify to register for the primary school under Phase 2A1.

but i have our friends qualified for for phase 2a1 because they were from affiliated sec schools. they did not study in that particular primary school at all.


plus i know nyps is affiliated to nanyang girls high.... but since its all girls school, where do the boys go to? seem strange that the girls are well taken care of but not the boys then?

others have told me that nyps is also affiliated to hwa chong institution?

Yes, NYPS is affiliated to NYGH. :lol:

And NYGH is affiliated to HCI and that's where they go for Yr 5 & Yr6 when they do JC/A-levels.

But no, NYPS is not directly related to HCI. siao, hor.

I've been told that the exception is if you graduated from a 'full' school - Cat High, St Nicholas, Maris Stella, MGS, SCGS. Apparently, parents qualify to register under Phase 2A even if they had only attended the secondary section.
