No balloting involved for us, blessed to enter NYPS under Phase2A1.

FYI for parents on the sms received from MOE at 8.06am today:

MOE: [Child’s Birth Certificate No.] has secured a place in NANYANG PRIMARY SCHOOL at PHASE 2A1. Pls report for orientation on 17 Nov 18, 08:30am.

Good luck to all parents in the upcoming phases!

Hi all, will be registering my dragon baby under nanyang primary's phase 2A1. Had a look at the available data indicating that phase 2A1 has never been oversubscribed in the last 10 years, but since it will be the dragon year, wondering if there's a high possibility of oversubcription and if I should seriously consider a back up plan? Thanks!

You should write to your alumni management to verify exactly how many alumni members have Dragon babies.

Every school (as far as I know) takes a predictive survey of how many current students’ siblings will be applying in that year under Phase 1. This is for their internal calculations to know roughly how many spaces will be left.

No reason why a popular school cannot (or does not) take a similar survey among their alumni network. They have all their contact details. And you can similarly push them to release the results of said survey, in order for all of you to make better informed choices/backup plans.

Thanks Zac's mum! Will write to the school and enquire.
