[quote=\"gschui\"]Dear all,


DD will be registered under Phase 2C.

I would like to check do you have any idea how to withdraw if we register online? Do we need to go down to the school we registered previously via online to withdraw or we can withdraw online also?

Thanks for your advise

Just checked MOE website. Withdraw has to be done online too. both parents must login to P1-IS to withdraw. You will see the message \"Your registration has been successfully withdrawn\" on the acknowledgement slip.

Can withdraw online on the 3rd day? As the online registration closed one day earlier.[/quote]Any one have idea? I have emailed MOE on this but no reply yet

A very well-spent

40 hours for\t
parent volunteer
Source: Yesterday article in Straits Times

MADAM Silvia Ho could
have registered her son
Jayden at the traditionally
more popular Tao Nan
School. Instead, she opted
For Ngee Ann Primary School
because she felt it would be a
better fit for her
six-year-old.

\"I felt the environment
and school culture at Ngee
Ann was better for my child
as there was a mix of pupils,\"
said the 36-year-old, whose
husband is a civil servant.

Her family lives in a
Marine Parade condominium
less than 1km away from
both schools.

After visiting Ngee Ann
last year and getting
feedback from friends with
children studying there, she
signed up as a parent
volunteer. She spent 40
hours helping in the school
library. \"It's a good thing I
could afford the time to
volunteer because I'm a
housewife,\" she said.

\"It was a good chance for
me to know the school. I saw
that the kids were not
'hot-housed' and the
school encourages
academically stronger pupils
to help the weaker ones'. , also
didn't want to go through the
whole balloting experience.\"

She was rewarded
yesterday with a place for her
son under Phase 28, the
latest round of Primary 1
registration just ended. The
school, which had 59 spots
for this phase, received just
29 applications, so no ballot
was required.

Tao Nan, a Special
Assistance Plan school with a
focus on Chinese, had 66
hopefuls vying for 41 places
under this phase, which is for
children of school volunteers,
active community leaders,
and those with church or
clan associations.

Ngee Ann is getting super sizzling hot this year.
For those of you who caught On the Red Dot show yesterday, lots of air time was given to Ngee Ann Primary. :rahrah: :boogie:

Sure confirmed ballot for Phase 2C..I wouldnt be surprised if those with 1km also kena ballot. :nailbite:

Just thinking aloud here. Looking at the P2B Schools Conducting Balloting, I’ve noticed the following comments for the following schools,


"The school has places for only SC children residing within 1km of the school. No balloting will be conducted."

The schools being, ACSJ (47/73), ACSP (24/31), Hong Wen (51/72), Kong Hwa (41/46), MGSP (40/57), SCGSP (22/23). ie. Name of school (2B vacancies/No. of children registered 2B).

Apart from Kong Hwa and SCGSP, the number of children registered for the schools mentioned far outnumbers the number of 2B vacancies. I find it interesting that the exact number accepted equals the exact number of SC within 1km. I’m guessing that this is only possible if the applicant (SC/PR) has the exact status of the registration numbers (including breakdown of SC, PR, Distance information) close to the closing of 2B on 23 Jul late afternoon and hence registers accordingly.

Somehow, the numbers seem too "exact" imho. Perhaps I’m missing something here.

Just curious. Tks.

It's just good planning and management by the schools. Kudos to them.
