Dear all, my son will be enrolled into NHPS Primary 1 next year. I am wondering any NHPS parents can share your experience with the on site after school care "Nascan" , or would kindly appreciate if any of you have a better offsite after school care to recommend ?


Thanks !

Hi All,

I stay in Hillview area with my SC eldest boy born in 2014 that going to take part in the P1 registration exercise this year . Only eligible for Phase 2C this year.

The following are the schools nearby to my current place :

Within 1KM:
CHIJ Lady Queen of Peace ( not applicable as mine is a boy )

1-2 KM:
BUkit Panjang PS
BUkit View
Dazhong
Keming
Lian Hua PS
St Anthony PS

Looking at the 1-2 km list , no chance for Keming . May consider St Anthony but not sure the risk. Not familiar with the rest of schools in this list. Appreciate any master can give some advice.

Another thought is to move near Bukit Timah , and bid for Pei Hwa Primary ( most prefer ) and have BTPS as back up in 2CS if failed. Any advise whether this worth the trying ?

Thanks all the master or grand master for any of your advice in advance .

Cheers.

Counter POV - stay put, try for St Anthony. Most likely ballot at 1-2km. But at least probably better odds and less stress than PHPS and still get the co ed experiences. U still get a chance to affiliate to SJI or St Pat rather than move to secure SJIJ. Save money for all the enrichment with probably the same outcome in the end.

Thanks Hendon. Co Ed experience is what we looking for as well. Counter POV here sound like a plan as well .... cheers and thanks all the kiasu master once again !

Keming - likely balloting within 1km - seem to be around 2 applicants to 1 spot

St anthony - it ranges from 1-2km ballot (2019,2017,2016) and within 1km ballot (2018). I tend to think 2018 numbers seems more likely for this year. around 86-87 applicants for 2018 and 2019 for st anthony. worst odds since 2010 to 2019 is 1.4 applicants to 1 spot within 1km. Odds for 1-2km folks, whenever there is 1-2km balloting, is harder to detect unless you have absolute breakdown.

Pei hwa odds was around 2.2 applicants to 1 spot for 2018 and 2019. There was a cut in the intake last year so competition for spot is as fierce as 2018. Sometimes it has some surprise results like 2016 - 1-2km ballot and 2015 - more than 2km ballot. I am not sure if \"moving close but knowing you will be in for likely balloting\" is something within your risk profile.

BTPS as backup works either way - moving or not moving. with the limit of PRs in the school implemented this year, more spots could be for SCs.

Moving or not moving will depend on how you rank the sch and will your risk profile change to your preference in schools. When moving is in your mind, there are so many schs to choose actually, but more choices to choose means bad for your mental health.

All the best.

Thanks Lexy for your advice here ! Appreciate !

Hi Zac’s Mom , Floopy and Davischew , truly appreciate all your valuable advice and insight. Would definitely re-visit my current option … thanks once again !

Yes. Already started the process of rental sourcing for a place in Bukit Timah that <1KM to PHPS and BTPS.


Just wondering how high is the chance getting in PHPS for SC <1KM based on your view ? If the odd too Low, i might well to apply for BTPS for phase 2C under SC >2km using my current address in Hillview and don’t even need to move. Will the latter work too ?

Any opinion or input from all the masters are much appreciated.

Thanks Davis for your advise !
