Chief, Am planning to send my child to St. Nicholas School next year

Next year?? You mean your girl going to P1 next year? For St Nic at AMK, every year they ballot phase 2B and 2C within 1 km....if you are not a parent volunteer by now...then you will have to go thru' phase 2C balloting, which is very very competitive.

Good luck!

hello.. this is my first post... was aiming for st nicks for my gal attending p1 in 2012.. BUT heard they are renovating / moving!!!!!

anyone has any idea where the gals will be studying when they do the reno in 2010-2011... n how wd it affect the p1 intake during these times??

*panic*

Does anyone think that anderson primary is worth moving house for? Where can I get detailed PSLE results of schools and which sec schools do students from Anderson primary go to? Thanks!

dozalot,

APS seems to have no affiliation - you can check from http://app.sis.moe.gov.sg/schinfo/SIS_index.asp.
the release of details of psle results for respective schools is dependent on whether the school will post on their website.

jedamum, thanks for your reply.


I thought maybe some schools might have a tradition, culture, for majority of students going to certain secondary schools after PSLE. Might also be due to results. I’m asking to gauge the results of Anderson.

BTW, when will all the schools be converted to single sessions? Does this mean that it will be even more competitive to get into the target schools?

Yr 2016 - all will be single session.
As of last year, Bukit Panjang Pri reduced intake by 30, so I think some schools may reduce intake gradually. Do note that some schools may also be 'upgrading' to accomodate all the students for the single session move. It is anyone's guess right now.

Hi Dozalot,


APS is actually just a neighbouhood primary school, but one thing good about the school is they offer higher chinese even they are neighbourhood school. There is no CA1, CA2 & SA1 for P1 & 2 . Only SA2. Not so stressful. Hopes this help.

I hv actually thot of moving nearby too to improve my daughter's chance of getting into the school (within 1km) but since I'm expecting now, I hv decided to KIV that plan.

My next best choice is Townsville as :
- no need to ballot for those within 1-2km based on past stats (will be using inlaws' address, so will be within this category)
- wide range of CCAs offered
- good last year's PSLE results
- I hv the impression that its programmes are well rounded, after visiting its website which is updated and informative
- inlaws' neighbours with children in this school hv shared that they are happy with it
