[Bukit Timah] Primary Schools

[julian99]

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...

Yes, I am trying to look at others as well. What about Raffles Girls? I am outside 2km.

Hi, was wondering if anyone may wanna give their advice or opinions about my dilemma…


DD1 will enter pri 1 in 2012. 4 schools (as verified by LTA) within 1-2km are:
MGS
Pei Hwa
Keming
Bukit timah

MGS does not accept PV so will go by faith and prayers and still try for 1st choice. Now am thinking of 2nd choice school (since may need to do PV if it is a popular school). Heard/read good stuff about St Anthony’s (which is not that far from me as I am in Upper Bkt Timah) as well as Keming. Considering CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace. Am not so keen on Pei Hwa… Which school do you think I should try to focus on for my 2nd choice? Would appreciate advice given. Much Thanks.
