Hi, My son is in long term visa, going next year to P1, I stay at YewTee, which school will be available in Phase 3, need a good school, pls suggest.

It's highly unlikely there is any \"good school\" left for Phase 3. The vacancies would be taken up by end of phase 2C. Even PRs don't have chance if there is any balloting. You should plan early and not forget to look at some international schools.

LOL, isn't the MOE always emphasize that every school is a good school?

Hi,


You can proceed to SLA website http://www.onemap.sg/index.html to perform the followings:
1) Estimate your competition for the P1 registration using PopulationQuery feature.

2) Estimate the distance from the school to your residential address using the SchoolQuery feature.

The use of PopulationQuery is not accurate due to the fact that distance is not a factor that Singaporean would consider when it comes to school registration and the system is not able to breakdown by specify age.

[quote=\"sweehai\"] :scared: Any idea how can I volunteer as \"Community Grassroot Volunteer\" :xedfingers:

Easiest way is to join RC.

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.[/quote]Commitment period is longer for GRL route. To be safe (to get the endorsement letter from PA), you need to commit at least 2 years.

for online registration, need both parents to login using singpass ? how come need both? if register in school also need both parents? i tot only one parent go will do ??

For onsite registration, both parents' original I/Cs are required. One parent can go to register but need both parents' I/Cs. I guess the same principle applies to online registration. In place of 2 original I/Cs, need both parents' SingPass

You may refer to past history http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/p1-registration-2014-preview in KiasuParents and check with the schools in mind to see what are their take ups at the different phases, and plan accordingly.

For those with the intention of withdrawal from earlier phase if condition is favorable and re-apply at phase 2c -

Best to wait until last day, see the final numbers by (citizenship + distance), know whether got any chance or not, then decide.
If condition not favorable - stay put/ remain, don't withdraw.

But for those with no intention to withdraw, then can just apply on any day, within that particular phase.

Question - if I already have a placement secured in Phase 2B but want to try a popular school in Phase 2C. Which day of Phase 2C should I withdraw my earlier application and apply?

Thanks! But very risky too rite? If dont get in via balloting for within 1 km, will lose my placement.. wonder if its worth the risk....where can i find statistics for previous years of exact no. of valid slots vs application?
