[Bukit Timah] Primary Schools

They rejected without an interview :roll: I learnt later on that everyone there are more than 200 applicants n NYPS only take in 40. I think the reason for my failure then was that I did not research on what NYPS really need in a PV. Luckily, my son still got in in the end w/o us serving 80 hrs time. :lol:

80hrs :shock: not 40hrs :?:

YES, 80 hrs. NYPS website has details on PV requirement.

Yah... NYPS is so popular that it has doubled the requirement guidelines set by MOE...

[VooVoo]

Wanna work for free for 80hours also may not be granted an \"interview\" :roll:

[Atan]

Besides double PV hrs, one also need to apply for PV 2 yrs before registration, ie when yr kid is 4yrs n not 5 yrs. Normally, PV application is 1 yr before registration.

Actually, what services would the school need most? Traffic wardens? :shock:

[scoobydoo]

80hrs is rather tough, wait, scratch that, extremely tough for working parents And what's more it is no guarantee of a place, let alone an interview :?

*thinking* worth the effort ?

Normally, there is no balloting for phase 2B and for the recent registration, 50% of PV are living >1km. The only yr with balloting for 2B was in dragon yr. So, it is still good to be PV even if living outside 1 or 1-2 km as NYPS seemed to keep around 50% PV places for such parents. Ofcourse, for within 1km, being a PV means a sure get in!

If I can get into PV ever, I’ll think of shifting house then…
