Parents,


Start preparing all documents to be ready now. Put them into a file.
On that day of registration, check and double check that all documents required are intact. Grab file and leave the house.

What important documents to bring ?

Pls bring originals + photocopies.

Last,yr, i only brought the original docs as stated on moe website. Then, when we reached the school , person in chge required photocopies of them too. So we had to make a trip to the general office to photocopy.

but I don't think RC approach is easier than PV. May want to check out the grassroots thread. most think that it is not easy as you need to be active n served at least 1 yr to receive the letter from chairperson. Right? pl share ur views.

After balloting, if successful, will we receive confirmation through mail? when do we officially register for the school? How about details for orientation? through mail?

After balloting, if successful, will we receive confirmation through mail? when do we officially register for the school? How about details for orientation? through mail?

On balloting day itself (example: phase 2c, can be anytime after 1 august to 6 August 2013) :-
Once balloting start, The names of those children that had been called out aloud by the p1 on duty registration officers - will be recorded instantly, on the spot.

There is an empty white notice board, ready for balloting.
As the name of each child is being called out aloud slowly one by one (in some schools, luck is drawn or determined by \"toto\" balls dropping out of the cage one by one in front of seated nail-biting anxious parents praying hard in their hearts, in other schools still by the old fashion white balloting slips of small folded up paper) - indicating this child is successfully balloted in, immediately the name of this child will be hung upon a white notice board.

After the entire balloting process end -
those names of children hung on the white board indicate successful balloting in! Congratulations ! P1 registration officers will then issue out the necessary p1 registration forms on the spot - only to this successful group of parents to fill Up forms. After parents complete filling in the forms, parents will submit forms back to the p1 balloting officer on the spot, the very same day. The officer will collate back the forms for processing, and update into their school database.

There'll be mixed reaction from parents, at the scene.
Some squeal in delight, upon hearing the name of their child being called out, or upon hearing their lucky toto number being drawn. The toto number that's been assigned is linked to the name of each and every child. Some jump with joy and start to hug their friends/ relatives who came to give them support. Some busy SMS loved ones/ relatives outcome of the balloting.

After entire p1 registration end in August -
Sometime in late september / October, schools will inform parents that their child have been successfully & formally enrolled into the school. Details of orientation letter, how to contact school bus operator, where to buy school uniform, textbooks - will be sent out to parents, through letters.
