Haha, this school is just right at my doorstep. Sorry not being racist here, but just my own observation: there seem to be quite a high percentage of non-Chinese students there. Probably since most Chinese would register in nearby NHPS?

While we are ethnically Chinese, we like our kids to be in a multi-racial, primarily English-speaking primary school. Thus, we do not like our kids to enroll in NHPS. We also don’t like the pressure cooker environment there.


How about Qifa primary school? Could someone with kids at Qifa share his/her experience with us? Is a reasonably good school? Any problems that we should know about?

Hi


After longtime, I was reading all the contents in this cohort since I was in US for the last eight months. Quiet tight with the work. It took me almost a day to browse the details under P1registration itself.

While reading, I can feel the panic from the parents side. The responses to those queries are well addressed. I hope I can be active from now on.

Hi


Is anyone’s kid in clementi primary school enrolled last year (ie P1 this year)?

Phase 2C registration - they have given 3 days. Is it necessary to go and queue up on the first day itself? Or we can go on the second or third day also?

Thanks!

You can go any of the 3 days for phase 2C, no need to rush. Only phase 3 (non-Sporeans/PRs) would be first-come-first-serve basis.

Thank you, Luanee.

I'm interested in enrolling my children in Nan Hua Primary School. What are the chances of me getting into the school if I stay within 1km and do PV at the same time?

Chances are very high. So far all in 2B within 1km get a place in NHPS. Only problem is NHPS is extremely selective when it comes to PV selection. Have u been selected?

Hi Luanee, thanks for your reply. I have not applied. Intend to do so this month. Do you know what areas of PV they require? I heard Nan Hua Pri takes very long to reply on whether we are successful for the PV.
