Do u know where will they be staying at?
Asked my son and he just tell me LCK =/

It only says Sarimbun on the things-to-bring list, so I am
guessing they will be at Jalan Bahtera.

No photos on my DD's class blog.


DD brought her phone along but never called.
Probably not allowed to use it at all...not even at night.

Oh well...no news is good news I guess.

Hello, may I ask if you know of any child who entered Nanyang Primary through gymnastics talent? I'd like to find out what the criteria, standard or entry process like?

Can you also share your experience with gymnastics (CCA or competitive) at Nanyang if you have had any please? Thank you.

I have a friend whose son is p1, nanyang primary this year.
(2007 born, golden pig)

Fyi -
Nanyang primary only offer artistic gym (ag)
Ag is for both boys & girls.
no rhythmic gym (Rg)
If Nyps girls keen to learn Rg - then, they have to learn it, outside of school.

My friend said her son started ag since k1, at the gym inside nanyang premises. My friend started him off as an exercise, just to let him run around, because he is an active boy.
At the end of k2 last year, after training for 2 years every week, the coach feedback to her that her son has got potential, to join nyps school team when he's a bit older.
(Because now he's only p1)

Fyi -
Alumni members of Nyps, under phase 2a(1) and 2a(2) or under phase 1 sibling,
(Example : kids born in 2008, 2009)
You may let your kids join ag, from k1.
No need to wait until p1 then come & join ag.

Within 2 years (k1, k2 kindergarten) -
the kids would have learnt quite a bit of skill.
Their body at this age is highly flexible, can bend forward & backward easily, turn somersault.
Most of the coaches are from china, rather strict in training & teach the kids self discipline & perseverence, through ag training.

As many alumni members tend to enrol their child at July p1 registration,
The gymnastics team allow them to join & receive training, at a young age.
By the time they reach p3, with the years of training received thus far, they are ready to join school team, for inter-school ag competition
(for those who show talent)

If you are alumni member of Nyps, interested to enrol yr child into ag from k1/k2 -
May call up your school, get the contact number of the coach from your school

========================================
Pure purple,

If you are interested in seeking transfer into Nyps based on ag -
Perhaps first, call up school to get hold of the contact number of the head coach.

Definitely, she'll ask you -
Where have your child been receiving training in ag, all these while, in your child's current school ? Then she may call up your current child's coach discreetly -
Ask for feedback about your child's progress, in ag thus far.
How is his learning attitude like, how is he overall ?
Head coach to head coach communication
The circle of ag coaches is quite small in sg.
She may even know your child's current coach, as a friend.

After receive positive feedback, she may arrange with you, bring your child down, let her assess your child.

After she assess, she will give you a frank opinion, of what is the rate of success of transfer, into Nyps, based on ag cca.

If the chance is high, then proceed with submit transfer forms into Nyps, with necessary supporting documents. The principal of Nyps would also like to hear the opinion of ag head coach.

The school uniform stall started to sell NYPS socks. Hmm, will it be compulsory to wear only NYPS socks in the future?

[tsh0202]

It was mentioned during the P1 briefing that P1 kids have to wear NYPS socks do that there is a standardization. But not sure about other levels.
