why no chance ? which year is the P1 registration due ?

yeah, why no chance at all? As long as you have not missed the \"deadline\" for applying PV, I don't think they choose PVs purely on distance. As long as you have a strong case (I mean, you offer what the school needs), you should have a good chance too. But just in case, to be ks, you may want to indicate that you are planning to move to within 1 km soon? Not sure if it helps or not, but worth a try.

My son was born in 2006. Deadline for PV is July this year. I will have to move nearer if he gets in cos I stay in Jurong West. I am worried he doesn't get in and want to select a backup school. How are my chances for Nan Hua? My hubby and I prefer schools with strong chinese values. Rulang and West Grove are the better performing schools in the west and I don't stay within 2km of either. Between Rulang, West Grove and Nan Hua, which school do I have a better chance with PV?

hi janet_lee88,


I don't think I'm the only 'kiam chye mia' person around, so people like me would appreciate that there is an avenue where through hard work, we can get our kids into schools of our choice, and not what 'lao tian ye' has in store for them.

It's stressful no doubt. The work done, the leave to take etc, these are no joke indeed. I can only lament that we are not from the right schools that'll provide an easier way through.

Hi Hquek
Another 'kiam chye mia' person here. Lucky draws don't favour me. So I just hope that after selection and completing PV, don't have to go for balloting too!!! Hubby considering buying property within 1 km cos he also 'kiam chye mia'! :roll: So consider all these as investment for my future generations since, once in, always in! My son's wife does not have to do PV and he does not have to buy a property there! :lol:

mommyNg:

Yes, her daughter is in Nyps p1. They got in via 2B. There was no balloting last year for Phase 2B...

Between Nanyang and Nan Hua Primary, which school is easier or I should say less difficult to get into?

verykiasu2010:

if you are a die hard for NYPS, move to the neighborhood, both public and private housing available with a complete range from 3 room HDB flat to GCB. :lol:

Hi I am a die hard for NYPS but too late to change address now to apply for PV. Staying in the West. So no chance at all?

Hi everyone who replied, thanks for the warm welcome! Been away so I haven't been checking my email. Yes, Floravale is in Jurong.


I recently pulled my boy out of school cos of the frequent occurrence of HFMD and stomach flu there. The last straw came when he caught the stomach flu bug too. I find that it is too big a price to pay just for socialization cos I teach him at home. That's why I thought a playgroup near home where learning and play can take place would be ideal.

It's ok though, I joined a meetup group in the west but have not attended any yet, enrolled my boy in Chinese and swimming lessons, tried to follow a time-table but failed so instead of being time-focused, I became task-focused. I set aside a set of materials for him to complete everyday. As long as he completes the Chinese, Maths and English tasks and ad hoc art, music and science activities and he has learned something, I take it as a job done. A job well done is when he learns happily!!!

Hi

I am a SAHM residing at Floravale. I have a 3 year old boy. Anyone interested in meeting up for playdates? We can meet up at the study room or playground for the first date. Look forward to meeting some new friends!
