CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School\tYes\tNo\tNo\t210\t65\t145\t87

Meaning 58 vacancies left for 2A2? Possible of balloting in 2A2? Oh wow...

Okay, seems my first child is in...but will only breathe properly when I receive official letter from the school or MOE..Anything can happen?!

As for my no. 2, there is probably no choice but to sign up to be alumni member in case there's balloting for 2A(2). Must also be 'active' member, in view of complaints about 'sleeping' alumni members getting priority.

I look at my kids now and actually feel a little sorry for them that they have to compete at such a young age. But getting into the so-called preferred school is only the beginning...many, many more challenges await them!

If your no. 2 is going into same school as no. 1, it will be direct phase 1.no need join alumni.[/quote]Although I know my hubby doesn't have to join alumni, my boy also can 100% get in to his former sch under 2A2, but I just want to doubly sure & avoid crowds, haha... Consider contributing in some sense to his alma mater. Settled my boy also means settle sch for my dragon girl in 5yrs time, 1 stone kills 2 birds. :evil:

Maybe #1 is signed up at St Nich Girls', which is a girls' sch & if #2 is boy, that explains different sch & join alumni at that school.

Wish we could do that…that would also help a lot in transportation. However, no. 1’s school is same-gender school. My no. 2 is of a different gender. The only co-ed school near our home is wildly popular and we have no affiliation to it. Spouse and I decided to save ourselves the stress of balloting under phase 2C and just register our kids with our old single-gender schools.

Wow…when we had our first child, we had never thought about all this Pri. 1 registration, priority system and balloting. And who would have thought 2nd child was of a different gender? I only panicked when I came across this forum haha!


So parents-to-be have to buy (or rent) another house close to the target school if necessary, join Alumni, PV, Grassroots, be active church or hwee kwan members, etc. and also to remember to plan the births of first, and their subsequent children properly. Education in Singapore has huge, profound effects on many of our decisions!

We have bought a BTO in 2012 and if we would like to use the BTO address to register for our child’s Primary One school, do we show the agreement lease to the school during registration?


The agreement lease did not state when the BTO will be ready. it only state that they will hand over to us latest by 2017. But it is predicted that it should be ready in 2016. My child is entering Primary one in 2014. If within 2 years of my child’s education and the BTO is still not ready for us to move in, will my child be requested to transfer to another school?

Thanks.

It is unlikely that you will be able to use that address for registration, as MOE ruling is that the property must be ready for occupancy and the owner must in within 2 years of child's entry into P1. So in your case, before 31-12-2015.

This is in MOE's FAQ:

\t
Q. I have purchased a yet-to-be completed property and should be moving in after the property is completed. Can I make use of the new home address for the purpose of registration?

Answer:
Yes. The new home address can be used provided that you are able to produce evidence from the relevant authority that you have committed to the purchase of this property.

In the case of private property, you must produce the original Sales and Purchase Agreement. For the 2013 Primary One (P1) Registration Exercise, the date of commitment by the developer in the Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) must not be later than 31 December 2015.

In the case of Housing & Development Board (HDB) flat, the Agreement for Lease is required.

In addition, you have to sign a letter of undertaking to move into the new property within two years of the child's entry into P1.

In other words, what is more important is that you prove that your new residence will be ready before 31 Dec 2015. MOE will not allow you to use the address otherwise.

:scared: Can I check if anyone has the stats between 2A1 and 2A2 for aitong? With only 83 places left for 2A2, not sure if aitong may need to ballot in P2A2. In fact, this year figure seems to be totally not in line with past few years, also don't know how to predict. :scared:

I was looking for that information, but not sure where to obtain that. So last year, I pay to join the Alumni in order to get 2A1. Relieve me of the stress.
The way I see, by phase 2B, Ai Tong will need ballot.
