At least now u 've gone thru the P1 registration process. Next year will be my turn. OHOH so kiasu ^^ . I'm now preparing all needed documents and really busy and headache with all stuff. International stu. like my ds don't need ballotting right? Is it a must that my ds to complete immunisation in S'pore? Can I create an account in advance for later payments?

I can empathise with you fully! Cos when we went overseas (hubby's work), I had to fill in all those forms and also get medical check ups and visas done too. Big big hassle. But that time my kids were young so I didn't need to worry about Pr schools yet.

For CPS, i think u don't need to ballot. As for immunisation, I think some are compulsory but not that sure which ones, anyone knws?

For all 3 kids, I just followed the list given to me by the hosp when they were born. I don't do them on time, mostly delayed, but by P1, all will be done, so i didn't read the part on jabs carefully. maybe you can look at MOE website?

As for bank account, i am sure you can set one up when u r here. That;s what i did when we were overseas too, easier to handle.

U r such a kind person, tjm. Thanks for sharing me those things. I read many threads in this forum that abt 20% is international studs in CPS, hopefully, my ds will get along well with his classmates in the future and keep up with studying pro. here

Hi Hi! I opt for 7.15-7.30pm slot...so I don need to apply leave :lol: My dh also not going with me as he feels that I will have a lot to say to the Form Teacher + EL Teacher + MT teacher. He was saying that I might need 3 hours to finish with 3 diff subject teachers...Hahaha so he has no patient to stay with me...

Hello ,
It's me again - just a little sharing of the PTM yesterday evening. It was a fulfiling one as I have a very nice talk with my gal's Form Teacher. I am thankful for her dedication and love for the class the whole year thru despite the fact that she is labeled as a \"V fierce & firm\" teacher - her insistent on class work must be neat & tidy; workings must be shown clearly and homework must be hand in on time! All this pays off as I can see my gal's improvement and consistency in getting all the above done! Thus, I believe why my gal is always so happy going to & coming back from school. I also meet up with the MT's teacher - she taught her in P1 and continues into this year P2. She is another teacher that I respect a lot as her affirmation & compliment of a student's effort to improve from making mistakes to making lesser mistakes makes me feel with her passion for the beauty of Chinese.

I appreciate so much of both the teacher's sharing & the dialogue with them. For those whose child(ren) going to P1 next year or already with CPS - the PTM is a good time for you to find out more about your child's progress in school - be it academic or personal growth :lol:[/quote]

hi bluesky

it was a hectic weekend!

wasn't too sure what you meant. did you want to look for an apt for your entire family? or just a babysitter for your child?

lkvm is right, so many agents nowadays, and listings in papers... i'm not good in this area, sorry we can't help much!

Hi tjm,
Seems that u really enjoyed your wk. Nice to hear that.
I look for homestay service which my ds can stay and be taken care by that family's mem as well.
I found some hosts in surrounding area near Jurong West on the Internet. Safety,convenience, facility and price are all my concerns. I'm making decision which one I should choose. It's a little bit tough b/c some hosts offer reasonable price but I dunno how their houses look like as i see no pics from them. The others offer all good facility, prices but too far from the skul. :?

Seems that everyone's busy lah. :dancing:

Hello, guess because it long weekend so most people might be holidaying outside Singapore .

Sorry, I don't have any recommendation for homestay but will definitely keep a lookout for you.

Cheers :celebrate:

Hi Champion,
Ah, I got what u meant. So great to read ur sms. Thanks and enjoy ur wk!!

Hi,

I would like to share my concern abt accommodation. I plan to register my ds to P1 next year and wanna look for nearby homestay or suitable places for him cos I dun want him to travel a long distance to school in the future. Just prepare in advance, u know. :?:

Hi bluesky


I didn't go through the P1 registration because we were still overseas last yr. My mom in law did register for our ds1 cos she had Dh's documents and she registered him in Pei Hwa cos that was my Dh's alma mater.

But it was too far for us so when we finally returned last yr, it was already in Phase 3 for P1 reg. we decided to transfer him out of Pei Hwa. Out of the 4-5 schools with vacancies left, we picked CPS cos we really liked the school facilities and environment.

For the reg exercise, u can look at this KSP forum, this was where I found all the info I needed too, last year, when I was so desperate! It is a great forum.

Alternatively, you can go to the MOE website. I also used that MOE site for info last yr. There's a link for P1 reg.

Hi tjm,
Thanks for your info. I'll do it then.
