Does anyone know when is the school's P1 orientation going to be held this yr?

NanHua is on 19 Nov 2011.

Wah..u read my mind...Thanks. Still waiting for the school's confirmation letter. Registered under 2A2...

Does anyone know when is the school’s P1 orientation going to be held this yr?

I would like to know is it popular pri school as such RMPS, RVPS where expects the Parents to play a bigger role? The Teachers seem to be relax & if the student not able to perform up to the mark. We as parents need to source on tuition or enrichment.


If in a bochap primary school, stress level not so high. Don't have to always have meet the teacher session. A friend of mine where a daughter neighbourhood school ask the parent to go get tuition.

She scored like Maths & English is the 60% mark range.

I would like my daughter to excel in a school where peer pressure and good teachers encourages her to achieve academic excellence. Of course, parents have to play a role too.

Agree with titank, after all Guillemard is also quite far from Clementi too.

I have relatives whose kids are in SH and KH, quite favourable comments
from them too. SH has GEP too so the standard should be comparable
with NH.

If you have a look at SH and NH PSLE results for the past yrs, I personally find that SH's results is skewed because of their GEP students i.e. main cohort of SH not performing as well as those in NH. Well, I dont have the actual stats but this is how I see it.

I meant if I failed to get accepted as PV in both KH and St. Hilda then I rather put my daughter in NHPS despite the distance. So no need to worry about balloting in phase 2C.


If accepted as PV for KH and St. Hilda, then maybe ultimately will register her in KH as my wife prefer KH.

Honestly I would like to put her in Tao Nan but looking at its past balloting results, even if doing PV I will lose out in distance can forget abt. it.

Thanks for all the advice!


I did called up NHPS regarding the school bus but the lady who responded advised me that Tampines is too far and my child will feel very tired.

If thats the case, applying for PV for St. Hilda and KH is a better choice. If both PV applications kenna rejected then I think last choice move back to my own place (living along Guilleramard rd… at least can shorten travel distance) and try to find out if there is any school bus willing to send my daughter to & fro.

Hi,

I am a old boy of Nan Hua and I really want to put my daughter there but I am currently living with my in laws in Tampines which is within 1km of St. Hilda's. I also have a choice in putting her in Kong Hwa as my registered address is also within 1km of Kong Hwa. Even though both St. Hilda and Kong Hwa is within 1km of my In Laws and my own place, I am afraid that even with PV I might not even get a place in phase 2B as both are very hot schools. PV is not even 100% even if I apply for one.

My safest choice is my old school Nan Hua, not because I am an old boy but judging from the academic results, NHP beats both St. Hilda and KH hands down in terms of overall cohort academic performance which has been consistent for the past 10 yrs.

But the problem is that I am living in Tampines and the school is in Clementi. Is the distance a major detrimental factor and I also not so sure if any private school bus will ferry her to and fro Tampines and Clementi.

Can anyone advise?
