2013 P1 Registration Exercise for 2014 In-Take

[sembgal]

If really want the child to get into a girls’ school, Marymount Convent is 100% guarantee can get in at phase 2C for SC. My hubby will be doing a site risk assessment on the shortlisted girls’ schools for my child. We have to take into consideration about the risk factor of my child travelling independently to school in future and need to look at the vicinity as well as time consideration.

Similarly, for boys school it would be Montford Junior in Hougang.

Ya some parents didn't think abt that esp phase 1 to 2b,.. distance is also crucial to learning abilities coz the poor kid will b so tired waking up so early to go school...go home also long.. and the risk factor! School bus also dangerous.. the shorter the distance, the easier and less tiring for whole family and prob a happier kid who can absorb better in school!!

I think all phases shld hv a distance quota...!!!!

For all girls’ school - left Marymount convent, st Margaret, Cannosa convent, safe.


For all boys’ school - left st Gabriel, Montfort junior, safe.

I m looking at plmgs under phase 2C. I m SC and within 1 km. I hope the trend follows the previous years whereby balloting only for 1-2km if there’s any.


But I m worry abt the new condos that are flooding the area. Anyone knows whats the TOP for Bartley Residence? This development is the larger near PLMGS.

Anyone knows what’s the number who applied within 1km for CHIJ TP?

I have a confirmed place at Temasek and was wondering if i should try for a school at Tampines in phase 2c as we stayed here.


Actually it’s not that far to travel to Temasek ( 20 min bus) just thought if walking distance nicer.

Any safe bet? Or better school?

We stay 1km to st hilda, poi ching and junyuan and 1-2km for the rest.

I do see some Temasek pri kids and the school bus in the neighbourhood. I prob stay around the same area as you going by the schools close to you. If I were you, I'd observe the registration numbers and if poi Ching no need ballot for sc 1km, then can consider changing schools. St Hilda's too risky. If you wanted Junyuan, you wouldn't have applied for Temasek in the first place yah?

Anyone knows the balloting breakdown for pei hwa Presbyterian?



Although i have registered my gal in nan hua under phase 2a2 myself,
I personally think they should do away with phase 2b,especially the PV and grass root part and either cap the quota or do away with phase 2a1 and 2a2.
The long distance travel is just too tiring for the kids .


I would love to put my gal in pei hwa as the distance is just so convenient.
I am staying within 1 km ( in fact 200m) from phpps but the balloting history for the past two years has included those within 1 km under phase 2c. This is just so ridiculous I feel not being able to get such a nearby school all because the vacancies are mostly filled up much earlier.

:stupid:

Even if there are no earlier phases like 2A or 2B, you will still have to ballot for a place in 2C or its equivalent as long as demand outstrips supply.

Because you have the privilege of phase 2A in another shool, at least your DD has a confirmed place. Ridiculous? Think of the many parents who spend their time doing PV just to get a chance at 2B.

Did you try to apply for PV in PH?
