[Bukit Timah] Primary Schools

[ngsc23]

To mumandme,


Don’t try both nyps or rgps. Keep tao nan. If need to ask for transfer after all registration. No point going through the balloting. NYPS confirm ballot. RGPS risky.
One bird in hand better than 2 in sky.

hi MumandMe,


wise to stick to TaoNan, she is an excellent school. It is extremely high risks to try NYPS and RGPS now esp. under P2C.

much safer if you seek transfer to RGPS later peacefully. Normally towards year end tend to have movement.

If not, wait patiently until P3 tend to have higher movement when the school re-org classs from 30 to 40 kids per class. And also towards end of P3 going onto P4 when outsider GEP students join RGPS, the school re-org again.

there is no difference between Taonan and NYPS, except the location and the name spelling


don’t give yourself more stress and create more balloting, for what ?

MumandMe:

Atan, there is another complication. The person is a GRL and eligible to apply under phase 2B at any school in the Bukit Timah - Holland GRC. Naturally, he will want to give it a go at NYPS.

Ok, MumandMe, you didn't mention this in yr prior post. In this case, then, to be superkiasu, I will enrol the girl in NYPS and boy in ACS, so both will benefit fm sec sch affililiation in the future. I know a friend who did this.

Hope it helps.

Dear All who are giving adv to MumandMe, you have missed out on the reply fm her that the person is also a GRL, so can go for Ph 2B at any Bukit Timah Schools!

Hi


Thanks all who provided advice. The deterrent is really the distance. And yes, with the GRL advantage, the stakes are raised.

Aiyo. So complicated. Btw, unwritten rule for HCI and NYPS. There is some "Relationship" between these 2 schools. So boys from NYPS get into HCI at special admission aggregate

[MumandMe]

Can someone offer an insight into bukit timah pri school?

Given that distance is top concern, and the stiff competition in balloting even at p2B, the choice may be between Tao Nan and BTPS in the end.

Really?

[ngsc23]

If u are within 1km of HPPS and RGPS,MGS, got chance no need ballot within 1km. If not, best with Tao nan. I gave up st Hilda for the distance. Now hoping for miracle.
