:congrats: to all the mommies

One more day to go
Unless no registration today, otherwise, the next registration will trigger a balloting..

From past history, ballot likely only for 1 to 2km. <1km will go in first, the remaining vacancies will be balloted for 1 to 2km. >2km no chance. Anyway, just wait for result after today.

My kid is in NCPS and i do not have experience with other pri schools. But my rantings everyday with my colleagues seems to be the same, so in terms of teaching, i doubt there is alot of disparity. However, with NCPS being a SHHK school, and its strong financial backing, alumni and parent volunteer support. I can see more things that are done which is not part of the school curiculumn. In DD's class, in her first term, everyone each have a ipod to play with. Suppose to learn to use for their excursion. Saturdays are burstling with activities offered by alumni. Schools work on 5 days work week, so without these alumni activities, most schools are quite quiet.

However, most importantly, the school is near to home with a \"dedicated\" student care. My kid knows almost everyone in her school, be it Pri 1 or 2. They are her ballet friends, student care mates, classmates or ex childcare centre mates. Everything just falls so nicely in place and she is happy.
Oh, i heard lots of feedback abt grumpy admin staff. The aunite is the typical, no smiling kind. But she is really helpful and nice. I have personally seen her in action. She is really helpful to the kids and what ever problem the kids have, auntie is there to help.

hi can i ask which student care your kid goes to? cos am aiming nan chiau too and if i get a chance to get in will want to consider the student care as well

Yes, if you let your kid do homework there and if they need assistance. Just to let you know, the centre also make them work on assessment books (included in the fee) as well as spelling revision (based on NCPS spelling list).

The fee is $340/child. If you have second one, think there is a discount. During Jun & Dec holidays, additional $50 as they will be at the centre full day. Best if you go down take a look, talk to the centre manager and teachers, ask whatever questions you have etc.
