          Hi all!

          I'm hoping to pick your brains on this: if you can get a spot in either NYPS of St Nicholas Girls, which would you choose?...
          They are both excellent schools. If I'm you, I would choose my alma mater in this case.

              Hi Clare,


              In your case, I would choose NYPS for logistics reasons since you have both a DS and DD.

                Ah... thanks ChiefKiasu. I'm leaning towards that too, but one day she may blame me for not sending her to a co-ed school when it comes to P1 registration for her kids :lol:

                Wow, I AM kiasu and I didn't know it!

                The way to solve her problem is to marry a husband from the right alma mater and not to blame on grandma's decision. :lol:

                  Hi Clare, in your position, my choice would have been NYPS. The reason being, I was from one of the so-called branded girls' school along Bukit Timah while hubby hailed from a neighbourhood school. Unfortunately as my little one is a boy, I'm unable to leverage on my connection to my alma mater which means this mummy will probably need to be a PV in order to earn a chance in getting into a school of her choice..... sigh....

                  Just to share...don't be overly deluded that your kids will go to the same primary school becos it is co-ed. I was told by a friend, even tho her first is now in NYPS, she could not send her second one there becos the second most likely could not fit the system. This is a discerning parent who does not push her kid into the wrong end. So it is not with certainty that NYPS will solve your co-ed school's issue for mixed gender siblings.
