Is there anyone with general information about princess elizabeth? I am between 1 & 2km. Do they usually ballot? I need to register end of July.

Princess E is in Bukit Batok.
You can see the infor plus past balloting stats http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=463&start=0.

Thanks jedamum, I do know that it is in Bkt Btk. I was wondering about the scthool’s culture. I happen to meet a group of P1 children from the school on a weekly basis for some tuition lessons and am rather shocked at the way they speak english. A little worried that my girl will end up like that too.

Hi Little_Princess. Princess Elizabeth doesn't take PV, for that reason the demand in Phase 2C is high. Balloting for the past 3 years have been for <1km...

I guess you will have to drop this one from your list..

In case anyone is interested. I went to attend Nanyang Pri Registration Talk last Sat.

They have 390 places- 13 classes of 30 students.
They have already 180 places taken up by phase 1 this year.
About 45 for Phase 2A1 based on the Alumni letters they have given out and 30 PV going for Phase 2B.

Hi suan25,

Eh?? I was pratically on NYPS's website daily the whole of last week, but I didn't see anything about a talk??

I'm definitely interested. Besides the places info you gave above, any other important info?? Could you provide a summary?

Thanks a bundle!!

This is as much as i know. I am not sure how the others know about the talk cos I was informed as I am an Alumni member but definitely there are people there that are not alumni. Interesting there is quite a number of foreigners there.
Yes, the unknown factor will be the grassroots leaders group- cos they can apply to all the schools in thier consituency; and the old boys and girsl not part of alumni- but the principal mention that this 2A2 group numbers has been dwindling.

Oh, to add, they had 44% of their PSLE students achieve top 10% scores last year- i am impressed!

BTW, just curious,why do people chose Nanyang? I have heard so much of people moving/renting just to be in 1 km- and thisonly gives them a better chance in balloting.

For me, the reason is simple....phase 2A2.

Do you have a child entering P1 next year as well?

[suan25]

yes, i need to go down to register on 9 july!

Hi my son is due to register for pri school this year. By some freak chance we discovered I had studied in nanyang pri but didn’t graduate as I Transf out when I was pri4, anyone has such experience using a partial old boy syndrome to gain priority entry to nyps? According to the school, all we have to do is produce the report card… Am tossing all my stuff to look for a 20 year old document! Is this frantic search worth it?

As long as you've studied in the school before, you qualify for Phase 2A. Doesn't matter whether you graduated from there or not. As you are not alumni, you can register your child under Phase 2A2, registeration date is July 13th for this phase.

KEEP DIGGING for that report book!!!
