I knew is that NCPS will be building another 6 more floors of classrooms.

The school will demolish an existing classroom block to make way for the new classroom block, which will only be ready by end 2012. This will definitely stretch the existing classrooms to its limit next year, so for 2012 P1 , I believe there will be a reduction in intake. I think we should know in another few months when the P1 registration takes place.

hi all,
Was re-reading the pdf on the school upgrading. There will be 20 temporary classrooms in the completed indoor sports hall to tide over the period where the existing block is to be demolished. So I don't think the intake will be reduced.

Hi, correction. There is no balloting for those less than 1km under P2B. You may checked the balloting history in this forum. My son got in this yr without balloting in P2B as I stays within 1km. Ballot only for 1 to 2 km. Above 2km, no chance at all as all vacancies taken up for those less than 2km.

timtim, ur child is the first child to enrol? as i stay within 1km. so meaning no balleting? this is not what i heard from other frens who stay at my area and their kids cant get in too. all within 1km.

Did you find out from them which phase they applied? Likely Phase 2C. For Phase 2B (if you're eligible), no ballot if you stay within 1km. However, this is past records and may not apply for future intake, more so if there is reduction of intake due to single session.[/quote]Just to share my girl is also 1st child to apply for NCPS last year under phase 2B. During registration then, admin staff informed that we most likely no need to ballot cos we stay within 1km, but told us to check MOE website then for details. True enough within 1km under phase 2B no balloting. Not sure about other phases tho.

Hi, I am new here and aimed to register my child to NPC this year.


Appreciate any experienced parents could share with us usually when will we need to obtain the application form from SHKK for P1 Registration Phase 2B in 2011, what is the procedure to apply the recommendation letter from SHKK ?

Also the website of SHKK mentioned, \"You will be informed by the School if your application is successful.\" If this is the case, Usually when will the school notify us the application result. Also if really failed, is it really no chance to appeal ?? How should we do? Ask SHKK or ask School?

Hi.. my kiasu husband applied 3 years before the actual registration.
The procedure is there's a SHHK form to be signed by 2 extg SHHK member to recomend the new member. Once this form submitted to SHHK and pay registration fees etc, the new member only confirmed joined SHHK at the next AGM.
During the year of P1 registration, SHHK will look at how long member joined or how active member is before they submit a list of member names to SHHK schools. If member name selected then you will get letter from SHHK/ school before the P1 registration, but my Husb called SHHK around apr to confirm if his name in. Registration for phase 2B around Jun/Jul if I recall.

I think you can expect the intake to drop soon especially when the new primary school opens nearby. currently, there’s only anchor green to absorb the excess of the residents nearby but when this new pri school opens, u can expect ncps’ intake to drop significantly.


where exactly is this new pri school? it’s at the junction of seng kang east way and anchorvale link. it’s the new construction site some 50m away. they’ve started piling so u can expect the school to open its doors as early as 2013.

those non phase 1 or pv parents, u can start documenting the building of ur child’s future school esp if they’re going to go into P1 in 2013.

single session means smaller intake for ncps. more schools nearby means smaller intake. all signs point to it so as parents, we shud stop living in a fairytale world la. otherwise, we’ll end up being disappointed.

I have checked with MOE this morning and they replied there's no new pri school at the said location but there's one in Fernvale Rd (in 2013) near Fernvale LRT. I believe the construction there is for the new General Hospital which was announced few months back and not pri school.

Anyway, I don't agree that just because of a new pri school nearby, the intake at NCPS will/must drop when it goes single session. There are pri school (famous ones) that maintain the same intake even after going single session. It also doesn't do any good to school since the catchment will be smaller for bright students to boost its ranking. I believe as far as possible, NCPS will want to keep its current P1 intake of 300. Lets wait for more details to unveil.

In fact, with AGPS and NCPS, they have served the demand well and I see no need for a new pri school at the vicinity.
