i thought of putting my girl in nanyang pri....but i guess i got to do PV.......is it true?

Mind you...NYPS is very selective of their PVs since they have an abundance of applicants. Also, their PVs need to put in 80 :!: hours of work instead of the 40 required at most other schools.

Better register your PV earlier in advance.

You can call up the school to ask, and pls post here to let us know the numbers too!

Just FYI, it was 6 fighting for 22 places (also 1-2km) LAST YEAR.

I guess it should be 22 fighting for 6 places last year?
This could be the choice of school for my child in next year \"contest\".

One of my colleagues just came back from balloting in HPPS, not successful. Another balloted in MGS, successful.


Heard that RGPS's in the afternoon. Good luck to all

Hi,


Did anyone read the forum page in The Straits Times yesterday (Sat 29/Aug)? About a teacher who punished P3 girls by pulling their hair, tweaking their ears, and hitting their heads with their Math books. Is this common? shudder

Luanee,


Can share with me your PV experience at RGPS? I look at the PV application form, noticed that we have to list down the day / time
available for PV (Mon-Friday, Morning / Afternoon).

:please:

Sorry for the late reply, I havent been checking here for a long time..

The PV work we did were ad-hoc type, ie as and when the PV committee needed our help, they will send out an email to all parents and we will just response accordingly if we can match the hours. As we are working parents, we chose those that fall on weekends, or those that can clock more hours at one go so as to make our leave worth it. U can pm me if u need more info

read thru all 24 pages at one go and felt all the excitement the parents went through from choosing the school to the excitement of registration. I see many luck ones have girls so there were more "choices"


I have a boy born in 2005, am thinking of moving within 1km of NYPS, the thing is there is a risk, what if he can’t get in even with PV, is BTPS the only alternative?

Would appreciate advice since this thread may not be as active as during registration period.
