Wow! Glad to see the thread active!


All the E/CCA will definitely synch up with the bus drivers? How do we confirm with the bus driver? I am intending to place my girl at the after sch care inside NYPS. So if there is a sch bus to send her back I am not too worried. But I only need the bus for the E/CCA as hubby will be sending and picking her from school everyday. Anyone knows?

BTW, anyone knows how much is a set of uniform for girls and the PE T-shirt?

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!

:congrats: genice

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.

Thanks dimsum!

And thanks for the assurance I will kiv the lessons 1st..try mummy lab 1st!

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.

thanks lovinglife!

Learning Bliss is good. Teachers are friendly. Food is acceptable. They are quite on in coaching their work. Spelling and tingxie are being constantly tested. Each subject has 1 assessment book for them to do if no homework that day. Top school papers are given on and off. Tea break at 3.30pm, free play at 4pm, school bus comes at 4.30pm.

:thankyou: rains!


This is really helpful. Also, for the shoes, is it all white only and can it be velcro type? Haha, I want to keep a lookout for any sale that comes along (if any). For girls with long hair any restriction to colour of hair bands?
