Nanyang Primary

[Kippletoon]

We were unsuccessful in the recent phase 2c ballot. Tried to put our dd under the waitlist but was told by the General Office that the waitlist is very, very long. Sob sob


Now we can only pray very, very hard that we can successfully register her into BTPS as we are >2km

around end of P3 going into P4 tend to have movement.


meanwhile from P1 - P2, do guide your child well, focus, study well, in whichever school the child enters into. In this case, you choose BTPS.

if can, try to excel in some form of CCA. If your child can stand out from the crowd, then easier to get transfer into NYPS.

sometimes there are children who excel in sports in some far, far away, unknown neighbourhood schools - tucked in a hidden corner of SG.

this kid may not even be in any of NYPS long, long waitlist.
However sometimes, very senior representatives from the school may go for some Sports Annual meet, or for some major Sports Conference events. And because this child is very outstanding, he stands out from a huge crowd. Suddenly one day, this child from a very poor family in an unknown neighbourhood school may just be ‘invited’ to come over, join Nanyang.

Don’t forget. Last year, the Youth Olympics was held in SG - Bishan Sports Hall. SG is a young, budding, dynamic Sports city.

NYPS may be looking for young, well-groomed Sports talents, who can balance both academics well with Sports.

Anyone attended the relocation talk for P1/P2? So are there going to be buses or alternative for parents with kids in both schools?

[quote=\"ASAP\"]Anybody know which Pri Sch Zoe Tay son got in?

They didn't get into NYPS?

PS - Congrats all that made it to join the NYPS family!

I don't know if they ultimately got into NYPS (at least for now). But I heard her husband is old boy of SJIJ, so likely that they've registered him there. Perhaps she would put her son on NYPS waiting list, and since she has PVed before (assuming she has fulfilled 80 hours), she would have some priority on the waitlist...[/quote]Heard it's SJIJ for now.

think it’s a matter of time.

hi Kippletoon,


don’t fret, all hope not lost yet (i can understand how you feel).

if yr child gets into BTPS, try to get into the first 2 or 3 best classes.
keep praying - leave the rest to God.

meanwhile, these 3 yrs (P1-P3), groom your child to the best you know how, esp. in terms of character. When the season & timing is ripe, you’ll reap reward.

[quote=\"VooVoo\"]Hmm...so what should be the best combination of shirts/blouses vs. PE attire? I mean, how many to buy for DS?

It is normally safe to have 2 sets of uniforms and 2 sets of PE attire.

I suggest you to have 4 sets of PE attire and 1 set of school uniform. My girl wear to school the PE attire on 4 of the school days![/quote]So for my DS, I shld get him 3/4 t-shirts, 1/2 shirt...how about pants? Do boys wear PE shorts the entire day?

Very very sorry to hear that...please do have a back up to BTPS too since you are more than 2km from the school.

Yes, I think the wait list is very long...there were a lot of PVs who did not have a chance to ballot in phase 2B...

[/quote]Hi VooVoo, nowadays, there are 3 PE lessons in a week. For my DS in P3, he has PE lessons on Tues, Wed & Fri. For PE days, they can wear the PE attire for the whole day. PE attire is T-Shirt and Blue Shorts. For the normal days, he is required to wear school uniform,ie White Shirt & Khaki Shorts. Hence, U can see that 2 sets each of uniform should be sufficient, even if PE lessons are on 3 consecutive case. You can try out with 2 sets first, and if insufficient, you can always buy it at the school uniform stall, which is opened during the weekdays (cannot remember exactly).
