I frequently confuse the mums and dads too. No kid taking PSLE this year. Just passing on info I've amassed. I know I was very ganchiong during my time too.

Thank you very much, jtoh! You have been so helpful, considering that your kid is not taking PSLE this year! Wow, your ds1 is already in RGS! Any ds2/dd2 taking PSLE next year or later? With your vast knowledge and experience, sure no problem! Btw, are you a ks mum or ks dad? I know vlim is a ks mum, I thot she was a ks dad initially, ops! Luckily she didn't mind

KSP:

...........One parent told Zaobao that Zoe \"lost out\" on the opportunity, because she \"did not do enough homework\" in ensuring that her home was within a one- or two-kilometre radius of the school.


This would give her son another chance of getting a place at the school by being eligible for the balloting process, if there are still vacancies.

She said actress lives at Holland Road, which is more than two kilometres away from the Bukit Timah school......

It pays to do homework. better still join KSP.com

anyway, why Nanyang never advise her? so strange :?

To be fair to NYPS...

For the past 8 years of phase 2B at NYPS,
there were balloting in 4 of those years.
Only 2006 (Dragon baby) required balloting for those living within 1km,
the other 3 (2005, 2006, 2010) were for > 2km.

Zoe Tay would have been performing her PV in 2009/2010. Since there were no 2B balloting in 2007 (2B APP 91%) & 2008 (96%) & 2009 (100%), no one could have warned her that she wouldn't even have a chance to ballot....not even KSP.com!

phtthp:

St James kindergarten is a playground for kids of rich TaiTai, mediacorp artistes, doctors practioners, lawyers, bankers aiming for primary schools like ... Nanyang, ACS, SCGS, etc.


they like St James because it is a place whereby besides allowing their kids to learn, also a place for them to network socially amongst themselves. Also, many parents like the curriculum, bec it is learn through play and exploratory method type. For kids at this age 3-6, this method works well.

another drawing attraction is St James kindy has got a list of enticing and very good enrichment programmes, at the kindergarten premises.

Explains why my kids not there...I don't like to network/socialise...and I don't care for those programmes. LOL

Maybe they thinking of \"Orchid\" apartment along Eng Neo, altho I don't know if that's within 1km. hehe. Definitely within 1km of NYGH. LOL. but I'm not sure if within 1km of NYPS.

Orchard Road is 7.4 km from NYPS according to Google Map.

I wonder did NYPS tell her that there is practically no hope for >2km balloting under 2B when she signed up for volunteer.
