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.

[suan25]

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!!!

Hi Little_Princess, for PEPS, I think the chance for Phase 2C balloting for <1km is very high, as shown in the past 3 years.. since you are between 1-2km, the chance is very high that they might turn you away and ask you to try somewhere else..meaning you will not even get a chance to ballot...

I would suggest you decide on an alternative school and monitor your chances there instead...

Also note that, this year they have 240 intake instead of 270 intake last year and at Phase 2A already 40% takeup rate...
