Hi, we are not locals so have the lowest priority to get into the mainstream schools. Can anyone advise what are some of the good local schools in the east for non locals? Any statistics from last year to share? Dates for school orientation?

[Mr XtaZZ]

Can already feel the heat from the P1 reg exercise this year. I am SC and relocating to Marine Parade area either Q4 2013 or Q1 2014. My 1st kid will go P1 next yr. Plan to enrol her in mixed school so that me and my wife dont have to go through much trouble for our son 4 yrs later.


TKPS is within 1KM and NAPS is between 1KM and 2KM. Not done much research yet but kind of prefer the latter purely based on me being a former student in one of the Ngee Ann institutions. Any advice??

Both TKPS and NAPS are good schools, and their popularity amongst parents have been very similar, with NAPS having a slight edge in recent years. If you are staying within 2km of either school, your chance of getting your child into either school in Phase 2C is very good.

Between naps & tkps -

Are you particular about more mandarin exposure, or more exposure to chinese tradition activities & culture? Ngee Ann primary chinese standard is high. They also offer interesting cca activities like Chinese calligraphy, Chinese art painting.

[Mr XtaZZ]

ChiefKiasu >> Thanks your opinion.


phtthp >> I am neutral on that.

Can anyone give their inputs on which school is Bette? St Stephens or TKPS? In terms of both character development and preparing for PSLE.


I have a boy registering in p1 this year. My son is a bit shy type so I first thot an all boys school may not be suitable…

But hear that at Stephens standard has gone up recently due that one single boy!

Also perhaps balloting will be tougher for this year. In any case we are Singaporeans so not much of impact, hopefully!!

We are alumni for TKPS but beyond 2 km of. At Stevens. Based on school records, there was no balloting last year beyond 2 km.

But before all that consideration, more importantly, which school is better as of date?

Thanks so much for all ur thots!!

My neighbour's son is in St Stephen. I feel that because it is an all boys school - the boys tend to be very rough with no act of gentlessness within them. As a result, teachers have to scream and shout to get their point across resulting in the boys learning such behaviours are appropriate. Thus is is a vicious circle.

Do you live within East Coast as well? I am looking for a son for my boy and I am contemplating Ngee Ann as reviews are good about this school especially now with the new principal. Havent heard much about TKPS though (maybe wasnt in that radar) . is this the school with the green cute uniform?
