2013 P1 Registration Exercise for 2014 In-Take

[tankee]

Phase 2A(1) of Primary One Registration exercise


SINGAPORE: The results of Phase 2A(1) of this year's Primary One Registration are out, and so far, about 28 schools have had at least half their vacancies filled.

There are 190 primary schools in Singapore.

Phase 2A(1) is for children whose parents are former students of that primary school they are enrolling for and have joined the alumni association at least a year before registration.

Phase 2A(1) also applies to children whose parents are members of the School Advisory or Management Committee.

Among them, Henry Park Primary and Ai Tong Primary only have about a quarter of their vacancies left for the subsequent phases of registration.

But not all 28 of the schools are \"brand name schools\".

One of them, Anchor Green Primary in Sengkang, which has a 60 per cent enrolment is a relatively new school that only opened in 2008.

Endeavour Primary in Sembawang, which also started in 2008, has 55 per cent of its vacancies filled.

These schools' vacancies were mostly filled during Phase 1, which gives priority to children who have siblings studying in the school.

The next phase of registration, Phase 2A(2) also gives priority to children whose parents are former students.

Phase 2C, which is open to all children without affiliation, opens on July 30.

If in the event that the child cannot get into a particular school in phase 2C and the school has no more vacancies at Phase 2Cs, is there a possibility to appeal (school or govt those kind of Meet the people’s session) or can the child be put on waitlist to transfer in after the results and successful applicants of Phase 2C is announced?

If unsuccessful in P2C, apply for waitlist and at the same time register at a school that has vacancies in P2Cs.

Thanks. I heard of one case when the child could not get into a particular hot school in Phase 2C. The parent enroled the child in another school for 2Cs. In January after school reopened, the grandparent had to send the child to school that was within 1km but further away 20mins walk. The school that the child could not get in was just opposite their house. One day, MP came to visit that particular block the grandparent was living in. Grandmother told MP that she would like her grandchild to be enrol in the school opposite their house but could not ballot in. Heard MP that side wrote letter to that school opposite their house and appealed for them successfully!! The child eventually managed to study in the \"good\" school opposite the grandoarent's place. Wonder what the grandparent told the MP ? She just mentioned that at her old age to walk her grandchild to school, she was very tired and she has leg pain problem.

If the child was not on waitlist, maybe coincidentally there were vacancies when the school rec'd the MP's letter.

Who knows.

Or maybe one mp letter make the principal of the school take notice at once and action immediately!


Or maybe this mp very important !
Wow! Which hot school is this?

How About the other way round?
Anyone heard of appeal via mp, but still no transfer?
