DS also got into ACS (1st choice)

I can't help but feel a little envious knowing your kid got into ACS (1st choice). Haha... But still happy for you n your DS. Do you stay near ACS?

DS also got into NYPS.

Do we contact school to find out what to get ready before school opens?

DS came from all boys school, i think they give priority to that criteria.

I understand the school will send a letter to inform about the orientation details, etc.

Hi

My dd is posted to hpps (2nd choice) but we stay very near to nyps (1st choice), we also thought its by proximity, so a little surprise. Dd is happy to get into hpps.

MOE also look at the originating school your child comes from.

if orginating school is SAP school + stay near to NYPS, they may offer you NYPS. (example: child originate from Pei Hwa)

but if originating school is non SAP and co-ed, they'll give you back similar familiar environment ... Henry Park. So that the change is not so drastic, eg: from non SAP to SAP school. (unless substantiated by very strong reasons)

likewise,
if originating school is \"All Boys\" SAP primary school, he may be posted to Catholic High GEP. eg: original school from Maris Stellar

if originating school is Mission related and ACS still got vacancies left after slotting in those transfered over from ACS Junior, he may be posted to ACS Barker GEP. eg: original school from Geylang Methodist.

after all, the programme in the 9 GEP centre is the same curriculum.

Sounds right but there are not many SAP schools around.
