Is it pOSSIBLE that I apply under phase 2a2 and reserve seat at TKPS and then if there are good chances in at Steven, in case I decide for that, to pull out and quickly apply to at Stevens, under phase 2c?

Yes, you may do that. However, please take note that should your child be unsuccessful during P2C (touch wood), you will not be able to go back to TKPS to claim the place that you already gave up. So, please consider carefully.

You cannot just consider just 1 year of good results and then make a decision that standard has gone up. Consistency should be an every year affair (like NAPS).
By the way why aren't u considering NAPS? Seems standard is slightly higher and going to remain so with the new very,very on the ball principal.
Repeating: If you are an alumni, don't give up your chance and lose it to another school that you are not even sure you will get in.

Understand that TNS will be shifting to temp site at Bedok in 2014. Anyone knows if the P1 vacancies will be drastically reduced becuase of it? As it stands, 360 vacancies for previous years.


Need to know my chance and make contigency plan. Btw, i am former student.

Thanks for those thoughts. I can’t go to naps as try do not offer hindi as second language.


Yup, perhaps to be safe than sorry!

I guess for me, it’s only because I feel that at Stevens is affiliated, to take a risk now then in PSLE !

former students' success chances are very high.

no need to worry

Neighbourhood schools the best option!

If get into a poppular school - it is not just torturous process now (with ballotting and all) but also for the next 6years for a child’s life and of course the poor mummy and daddy too!
Popular school…nah for me…
