The year before last year : the vendors turned up.

So last year, changed.
Sorry about that

No worries. I was told school didn't arrange vendors to show up. Hopefully vendors are coming this year.

Do you all know how they allocate the P1 classes in Nyps? Is it by phase like some other schools?

No. Allocation is randomly. 15 boys and 15 girls, as equal as possible.

A list stating all the vendors and their contact numbers will be given to all the students. Even if the vendors don't turn up, you can still contact them.
So, don't worry..

We're considering after-school care to take care of the logistics of having enrichment classes.

The school buses will fetch your DC home after the enrichment classes/ECCA. $4 per trip (hope no increase next year!).

Is it $4 per trip?
Thought it's $20 per month.

Hi parents, my ger was just successfully balloted in on Friday!


Can I check w the existing parents is there a need to send kids to enrichment classes like TLL when she starts sch?

Any parents w kids that actually manage to cope w the sch work without much external help , just parental guidance except maybe upper primary?

Any advice for new parents of nyps?

TIA for any valuable input!

He charges on per trip basis which is definitely cheaper than monthly fare of $20 for a student who stays back only once a week. In fact, P1/P2 ECCA is around 10-12 lessons per semester only.

I think $20/mth is more worth for those who are staying back for more than 1 day.

As to your question on whether there is a need to send kids to enrichment/tuition classes, IMHO, they are a want, not a need. For P1, guess it depends on how kiasu/kancheong/insecure you feel?

My P2 boy has English enrichment since P1. I personally coach him for Maths & Chinese. Guess what, his English marks were the lowest among the 3 subjects for P1. So I think Mummy/Daddy's learning lab is more effective than external tutors Strong parental involvement is very important. Like in my son's class, there are kids who do not submit homework consistently (can even delay for more than a term), whose parents do not help with their poetry recitation (asked helper to teach). Their results are very poor.

Curious, how you know their results? I try possible not to ask my DS too much on others results. Knowing too much will create unnecessary
