[Clementi] Primary Schools

[HAPPYH]

Hi


After longtime, I was reading all the contents in this cohort since I was in US for the last eight months. Quiet tight with the work. It took me almost a day to browse the details under P1registration itself.

While reading, I can feel the panic from the parents side. The responses to those queries are well addressed. I hope I can be active from now on.

Hi


Is anyone’s kid in clementi primary school enrolled last year (ie P1 this year)?

Phase 2C registration - they have given 3 days. Is it necessary to go and queue up on the first day itself? Or we can go on the second or third day also?

Thanks!

You can go any of the 3 days for phase 2C, no need to rush. Only phase 3 (non-Sporeans/PRs) would be first-come-first-serve basis.

Thank you, Luanee.

I'm interested in enrolling my children in Nan Hua Primary School. What are the chances of me getting into the school if I stay within 1km and do PV at the same time?

Chances are very high. So far all in 2B within 1km get a place in NHPS. Only problem is NHPS is extremely selective when it comes to PV selection. Have u been selected?

Hi Luanee, thanks for your reply. I have not applied. Intend to do so this month. Do you know what areas of PV they require? I heard Nan Hua Pri takes very long to reply on whether we are successful for the PV.

i don't know what others think but i m staying 1km w/i Nanhua but am not trying cos balloting is a must in phrase 2c and not gonna take the risk. Will just send my girl to CHIJ Kellock(under phrase 2b) tho distance further

Hi Tinkerbell, for 2B are you under church affiliation or PV. Could you share why you would consider an all girls school for your DD?

[tinkerbell]

Sorry, I meant 2A2 under old girls

I wld of course prefer her to go to a good school which is also nearby but the thought of 50-60% chance of getting into NGPS thru balloting is not worth it. I hv no particular reason for sending to all girls but i do know most of my DD's classmates mum prefer all girls school for their DDs. They probably wanted their DDs to be more lady-like.
