Acc to the Principal, Mrs Lee, the META classes comprise of kids who are the 1.5 (not 2%)-5% based on GEP test. GEP classes comprise of kids who are the top 1.5%. She said that META kids could be the top 1.51,1.52, etc up to 5.0%. The kids in META class are considered as High Ability based on the GEP tests, so they are not necessarily 'better' than the High Achiever classes since only Eng, Math and GA are tested. However, it is noted that majority of the top kids fm P3 High Achiever classes (minus the 30+ who went to GEP) are in the META classes, and the rest mostly in 4A (High Achiever class).

I wish to enroll my kids in Nanyang Primary. I use to attend Nanyang primary many years ago. But having graduated many years ago, I wonder what has changed...


1. Can anyone tell me what the teacher to student ratio is in Nanyang Primary now? Rough figures say from primary 1 to primary 6?
2. How receptive is the school to parents feedback and involvement? And how often do you get to meet the teacher to discuss the progress of your child at school?
3. Is there an open day that we can visit the school?

1. Pri 1 - 3 is 30 kids per class, Pri 4 - 6 is 40 kids per class (mainstream) & 25 per class (GEP)

2. email the principal and teachers anytime, or sms, or call. There are regular meet-the-parent sessions to discuss the progress, and outside the designated meeting schedules, you can email anytime. Can join the PTA too.

3. not sure

Hi - this is a quick request for feedback from those who went to the mid-Autumn lantern festival last night (14 Sep):


1/ was the provision of parking, directions to alternative parking and general access to the event adequate; and
2/ do you have suggestions for improvements or particular gripes?

Thanks!

please ask them not to park on road side after gate C, toward Kingsmead, because the road starts to narrow from there onward. Some people whose car parked at the narrow stretch has their wing mirrors accidentally damaged as they rush through the narrow stretch

open up the carpark at the old campus for them to use

Thanks.

We didn't reach NY till 7+ pm that night because DD's piano class ended at 7. After dropping DW and the kids off at Gate A, I proceeded to park along Princess of Wales. Walking towards the school, I noticed at least 3 cars between gate B & C with engine and air con running, while the driver slept or played with their iPhone/iPad. Obviously waiting there in case any TP showed up to issue ticket.


Bad for the environment! :mad:
