Thanks weyw and Papayadad

Much appreciate

cannot register until \"withdrawal formalities\" completed.

Thank you for the time. Appreciate it. Can you please throw some light on that? What exactly is the trigger? Is it a central database... school A has not really got any originals or unique document to block registration elsewhere?
In the middle of logistics planning.... Plan depends on this

Help!!! Genuine query by a newbie… to avoid a slip between the cup and the lip…


Can one parent start registration at School B using copies and buy time for the originals that are "on the way?" Meanwhile, upon confirmation of this, the other parent starts withdrawal formalities at School A?

Appreciate urgent help! I'm first time registrant, doing for my son, under P2C in the category SC- 1-2km.


1. Do I need to choose the MT language now during registration or can choose later?
2. I am looking between Hindi and Tamil (our choice school has both in-house). My hubby can support Tamil at home and we both can support Hindi. If we choose Hindi, would there be any disadvantage later vis-a-vis Tamil during the later years?

Many thanks!

You have to decide which mother tongue you want - Hindi or Tamil ?
Bec some schools do not offer Hindi.

When moe put up website info for all schools, they already show what are the mother tongue offered in each school ?

Is such info still there ?
If not, call up those schools you are interested in.
Ask to speak to the hod for Tamil / Hindi.
If no Hindi is offered in that school, school will inform you.

You have up decide which mother tongue yourself.
Then only you select those schools that offer the mother tongue you want your child to pursue.
If that school don't offer MT you want, means should not choose that school.

This decision must be made now, when you register a school.

Hi there,

Thanks for your time

I have already ascertained that my choice school offers both Hindi and Tamil in-house. I would prefer to put my son in Hindi (my MT, which both me and hubby know) versus Tamil which only my hubby knows and can help my son with.

What I'm worried about is, if I make a choice of Hindi now, will I face any issues later like in PSLE or secondary or anywhere else? Would there be any advantage in taking Tamil (like ease of scoring or availability issues etc.) that I would be missing out on by choosing Hindi?

Thank you.

She is staying within 1km of Tao nan and Ngee Ann pri and will be registering her child for phase 2c.

Looking at the stats, Tao nan will have 42 seats for 2C and Ngee Ann will have 56 seats.
Would you advise that she try Tao nan or Ngee Ann next week?

My take is, both schools will likely to ballot but Tao nan risker, may need to ballot for those within 1km whereas Ngee Ann's balloting may for those that stays further.

Can anyone advise?

thanks

The way I understand Ngee Ann Primary will have 63 vacancies for P2C. Am I wrong?

I calculated, is 56. How did you get 63?

cos now at phase 2b, 35 registered for 49 places. So this 35 all in and balance is 14 to spill over to phase 2c. Phase 2c will have 42 seats (including the 20 fix by MOE), so 42 + 14 is= 56. Can anyone help if I get the numbers correctly.[/quote]
Actually I calculate it to 62 NOT 63. Sorry!
It's 48 + 14 = 62.
48 is what came to P2C after all P2A were done. Original 20 plus approx half of (200 less 143).

Please advise if I am wrong.

Thank you very much. A further question regarding the strong Chinese flavor of the school… since we don’t speak Chinese at home (Indian languages) we have enrolled him in Chinese classes as preparatory. Will that be enough? Do non Chinese students fare well at Kong Hwa?

Hi I am new to this forum. I am thinking of enrolling my son in Kong Hwa Primary. I request parents (of primary 1 students specially) to share their experience. it will be a great help to take the decision. Thankyou
