hi verykiasu2010
your child is from Newton Church as well? I withdrew from St james and enrolled her at newton as i find the newon church forcus more on academic perspective… am i right? -
verykiasu2010:
Right, no affiliation at all even they share the same Board, alumni, school values & motto. But NYK often organizes trips to Nanyang Primary, so if you would like to have glimpse of the school, there are various opportunities.
there is no affiliation between NYK and NYPS, even though they have the same alumni organisation. hence no advantage for any NYK graduatesoctbride:
Hi
She is N1 this year. But the person told me tat my daughter has a vacancy for next year slot.
About the affiliation, i have doubts abt it. Anyone managed to get Nanyang kindy but didnt get into Nanyang Primary?
It is MOE policy - no kindy has any affiliation to any primary school
Primary admission is as per MOE policy and procedures -

during my kids time, Newton was very hot, waitlist ..... we are biligual but speak English to them, so decided to enroll them in the Chinese section to balance up. The teachers were good. Hope still the same. Academically, I too heard they are more on the ball. We have no experience with St James, so can't compare. St James' also ultra super popular - my bankers' and lawyers' kids all lining up right after discharge from the delivery suiteshi verykiasu2010

Newton is presbyterian and St James' is Anglican, and I do NOT think that is a deciding factor -

hi octbridehi busymom
i received a call from Nanyang Kindy too.. but i didnt call them back cos i was busy.
I wanted to do research too for the school. Cos my child now is at Newton Church Kindergarten , and she seems very happy. So still dun knw whether to switch or not.
Btw, is nanyang preschool affiliate to Nanyang Primary?
Is yours in the afternoon session as well? I didn't transfer in the end, cos' decided to stay put at pats'. If you can't decide, would be best if you make a trip to the school and see how you feel about it. -
Yes, mine is afternoon session
what i like is the various enrichment courses that are provided, as it means less need to travel during weekend

Parents of Nanyang Kindergarten kids, those of you who perpetually blocking the road and refuse to let motorists move on, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ?
-
and what a shame you need two traffic policemen today to control the traffic so that the residents can pass

Parents queue overnight for place in kindergarten waitlist
They queued for hours just to get kids on Nanyang Kindergarten's pre-nursery waitlist for enrolment in 2013.
They may be 'kiasu', but they're not afraid to admit it.
Parents queued overnight outside of Nanyang Kindergarten to get their one-year-olds on the waitlist for their pre-nursery enrolment in 2013, reported the Straits Times
Those in the pre-nursery programme when they are three, will continue into the kindergarten programme until they are six.
One big reason for its popularity? The school along Bukit Timah boasts Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his children among its notable alumni.
Another reason is the school's emphasis on the teaching of Chinese language.
A queue started forming at 9pm on Sunday, and by the time registration started yesterday at 7.30am, more than 70 parents were already filing past the school gates, with the $100 administration fee in hand.
There are now more than 100 names on the waiting list, said the school's principal, Magdalene Ang.
According to the Straits Times, registration will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to those whose siblings are current or former pupils, or whose parents were former students of the kindergarten.
But this system is apparently not enough to assure some parents already on the priority list.
One parent whom the Straits Times spoke to, Mr Jason tang, 46, started queuing at 5am because he did not want to take any chances. His elder son, six, is already in Nanyang Kindergarten which would put his second child on the priority list.
The high school fees are not a deterring factor either. According to the report, prices for a 10 week term and pre-nursery in 2009 costs between $1,669.20 and $1,776.20, double what it was before.
