Top Primary school?
-
Hi MegBryan,
Nanyang is definitely a better school than Ai Tong. For Nanyang, are you in Phase 2B or 2C, your earlier post mentioned 2B but later post says 2C. If its 2B, I would think your chances are high. My colleague is a PV in Nanyang, and she mentioned that most if not all the PVs she knows for this year’s batch stays outside 2km (herself included).
Also, you have to consider if Nanyang, being single session is something you would consider as a plus point. Some people do, especially if they have more than one kid, it’ll be easier to manage if all are in the same session. Actually…I do wonder, Nanyang opens up 13 classes for primary one almost every year and operate in single session, they must have a lot of resources to be able to achieve that.
Anyway, where do you stay? if distance is not really a problem, than you can go for Ai Tong as its a guaranteed place. -

Titank...I typed wrongly. How about Nanyang (Phase 2B)?titank:
Hi,
I would suggest you try Ai Tong (Phase 2A1) at least is confirm have place. Nanyang Phase 2C most likely ballot scheme.Then everything depend on luck liao.
If I'm not wrong, Nanyang (Phase 2B) if there is ballot then have to depend on luck. I still suggest that you go for Ai Tong where it is confirm a place.
Anyway this is how I feel. You have to make a decision.
Since there is no SAP School near my place, I don't have to consider that. Also I do not want to add stress to children esp in SAP School. -
I was looking at the results of PSLE 2007 and I realized that only 3 of the top 15 pupils are boys!!!
Strange considering more than half of a cohort are boys!
Does this mean in Pri 6, girls are more hardworking? -

Generally girls are more matured and boys are more playful.

So i guess that plays a part in how they perform academically at 12 yrs old too.

You need to do at least 10-15 years analysis to get more insight if the gender plays a strong part.I was looking at the results of PSLE 2007 and I realized that only 3 of the top 15 pupils are boys!!!

Having said that, generally, girls' strength in languages, boys' in math/science.
boy is disadvantaged when chinese or english is poor.
girl has an advantage becos math/science also use languages!!! kekeke.
honestly, gender does not matter in results....at the end the key positions in most industries still dominated by men... very successful women usually in the end still stand behind the man cos she has more options like looking after the kids based on current society's perception and need to multi-task... :lol: -
Just want to side-track a bit and share something I stumbled upon...
It's a thread in another forum... and I found it quite amusing.
A simple question regarding 'New Condos within 1 km of Tao Nan' became a heated exchange with name calling, slamming schools, etc... and I couldn't help but laugh out loud at one point when someone posted \"All the bitchy parents, go to school forum to fight, tis is condosingapore forum !!\"
Ha ha... we are not the 'bitchy parents' lah hor?! Ha ha ha...

That's what you get when you allow anonymous postings... -

I think they are not \"IN\" because the top pupils do not take PSLE anymore,
RGS did not even have a single student in that list.super_dad:
Tao Nan is top??? wow....
Surprised that RGS is at the bottom of the five.
In fact, the following GEP schools have very conspicuous no-shows in the top 15 last year:
Raffles Girls, Rosyth, Henry Park, Catholic High, and ACS Primary
They were pipped by the so-called neighbourhood schools:
Geylang Methodist, West Grove Primary, Canossa Convent, Nan Chiau and Kong Hwa.
they are in some \"direct path\" scheme...
Please correct me if I'm wrong... -

I've heard this reason cited quite often for the seemingly lack of students from the 'top' schools in PSLE rankings.I think they are not \"IN\" because the top pupils do not take PSLE anymore,

Please correct me if I'm wrong...
This is because the best of cohort are already accepted into the secondary school of their choice and they spend little to no effort for their PSLE. Usually for Direct Admission Scheme (DAS), they only need to pass their PSLE.
To be honest, for 99% of all 12 year olds, if you told them that they only need to pass to qualify, then they are not likely to give you anything more...
