Do phase 1 parents receive some sort of acknowledge form? I 'm afraid of misplaced too . My dd told me she passed to the general office ! :

Yes. Remember the registration form that you completed? The school will pass a carbon copy to your girl. But, don't expect to receive it so soon. Some schools take their own sweet time to process and return the forms. The place is confirmed, anyway, they think, so no hurry.

Thanks . My friend posted on Facebook that she received it yesterday but of different school . That 's why I'm so scare whether my forms were passed to the correct person .

I am not sure about other parents but I will be one who will be much more likely to register all my kids into the same school. It makes it much easier to arrange transportation, etc.


Yet, looking at the number of children registered in Phase 1, you will find that in the popular schools, there are more children registered. Across Singapore, it should not be this case unless

1) Children in popular schools are more likely to have siblings OR
2) The current school has not been up to par and parents want to try for another school OR
3) The current school has been up to par but parents still wants to try for another school OR
4) ???

Except for new schools, MOE could do a study on why Phase 1 registration is lacking in some of the older schools.

It would be interesting to find out the statistics of the number of applicants for Phase 1 vs number of siblings eligible for any school.

6 other reasons can be:

1. The sibling is in a all boys' or all girls' school so the other need to register in another school.

2. The sibling was in a Non- GEP school but passed the 2nd round of GEP, so the parents either qualify for P2A2 of the Non-GEP school or Phase 1 of the GEP school.

3. I have a fren, she wanted to her kids to study in different schools. They are study in different newly built schools.

4. The parents have dd and ds, father wants ds in his alma mater and mother wants her dd in her alma mater.

5. The age gap between kids is more than 6 yrs, so only qualify P2A2.

6. Family moved liao, so register in another school for the younger sibling.

Oh ya one more possible reason,


School might have been suitable for the elder sibling but not suitable for the younger one. So parents decided to register in another school.

err, have this been answered before?


is MMR booster compulsory?

Looking at the stats, it feels really scary.

Will this year be the first time balloting required at Phase 2A2 looking at some of the high numbers of siblings already registered?

My ds is in Phase 1. He does not have the booster yet, the school did not have an issue with it not on his immunisation cert. I'm planning to let him have the booster next yr.

Well, in the registration policy balloting is catered after Phase 1 onwards. MOE only guarantee that Phase 1 is confirmed placement.

In that sense nothing to be alarmed if balloting occur in P2A.

Dunno how many years ago, there was balloting in P2A2.

How many years ago was that?
From what I've read, there's been no balloting in P2A2 for quite a few years.

Sudden boom in piggy babies means more competition...
