hi,


if a child is a girl - her father from ex ACS, mother from a primary school that had closed down many years ago, but grandmother from ex NYPS, can this child enter NYPS - because her grandmother studied ex NYPS before, and her grandma still can NYPS report card to show ?


if no, why not ? i have a friend caught in this dilemma.

thanks for info !

Hehehe... because MOE never states grandparents being an alumnus to a school can also be given priority. It is only parents and siblings being alumnus will be given priority.

My friend called up a school and said that \"my grandfather, father and brother all studied in your school, so can my son get priority?\". The school told her \"Sorry your son will not have priority because his father is not an alumnus\".

DDS, I think the answer is no for your question, i.e. you have to deal one by one. Even you put them to the same school where balloting is needed, you can choose to bind them or split them. When you bind them, they will either all in or all out. When you split, you may have half luck but you have to deal with the other half. It is in MOE website.

@30plus, thanks for your reply....indeed you are right....emailed to MOE to check and they reverted saying that if one is successful and the other one is not, then the unsuccessful applicant will then have to register under Phase 2C suppl. Actually I more or less knew that this would be the answer but was hoping there might be this 'loophole' available.....sigh.....

dear Flower Power and Funz,


thank you so much to you two, for yr prompt sharing.

actually, this child is my daughter’s classmate in the kindergarten.

her case is quite … on the surface, it’s like she got so many good schools to go to, it is like … so near and yet so far …

i) she stay 1.8 km from SCGS…

not sure if can get in as PV bec SCGS very selective over PV, even though she will definitely apply.

ii) her father from ex-ACS. But child can’t enter ACS, bec child is girl.


iii) the mother studied at RGPS only one year, primary 1 in 1970s, but lost report card in the midst of shifting house in 1970s. Lost report card, lost primary 1 class photograph. Whatever she tried to retrieve / dig out … all lost ! Can’t trace back.

if she can produce report card even for 1 year Pri 1, also good. Then her child still can enter RGPS. As long as you ever study in that school before. Dont care how many years the kid study in the school before.

her parents transfered my friend out to another primary school when she was in Pri 2 … because they shifted house. Later, that primary school she transfered to closed down in 1990s.


iii) paternal grandmother studied in such a good school before, NYPS. But can’t enter, bec like what you say, grandparents can’t.

so sad … sigh!
now it all depends on … this child’s fate.

anyway, just want to highlight here imporant lesson learnt here…

plesase, please … do NOT lose your primary school report card, no matter what happens - shift house, etc. You never know how useful / important this report card is going to be. It will come in useful / handful / beneficial to yr child one day.

I would say RGPS is the best bet as 1 year there should qualify.


Try call the school to check any other means to verify via school’s record or call MOE to see can get some records of the mother ever study that school.

Try RGPS. The school may still have records of students from the 1970s.

[greenbean2011]

JonC, thank you so much for yr kind suggestion.



will definitely relay yr message to my friend - start seeking help from MOE side to dig out past records from 1970s history, also from RGPS side. Hopefully, they had archived all these past pupils’ names records.
