2014 P1 Registration Exercise for 2015 In-Take
-
phtthp:
Thanks! From your experience, should we take leave from office for all 3 days of ph2c, to hang around both school (s), or just take leave on day 3, 1 Aug only?
as long as application for that particular Phase is not closed yet for that Day -okie:
With online registration for all schools during ph 2c this year, when we physically go to school to submit our application during ph 2c, will the staff at the school still be able to tell us how many \"within 1km\" applications received so far?
Will be monitoring application rate at two schools concurrently for ph2c, in case last minute need to withdraw application from one school to register the other school...
I am getting nervous too... :nailbite:
the \"live\" figures can keep changing. (not stable)
Funny thing is there are parents who like to trot in last minute -
after 4 pm. That's when the adrenalin pumping fast.
Because enrolment keep coming in, or parents may withdraw, go to some other school.
only around 4 pm towards close of Registration day then will the figures finalize.
Normally any balloting within which distance range -
will be announced around 4 pm, or earlier after 3.30 pm.
The Officer in charge may call you, or SMS you -
to withdraw if too many parents enrol & you have no chance to ballot at all, or to ballot.
Is better to be at the actual school premises, check \"live\" data.
Very difficult to get through telephone line, often can't get through, during peak period.
Sometimes over phone, there're admin staff refused to disclose figures.
Because they have not yet received the actual updated figures, from those Registration staff, on duty.
Sometimes, the admin staff only get regular update from Registration staff twice per day: around 11.30 am just before lunch at 12 noon, or receive update after 2 pm. (after lunch)
but then, the figures will change again.
So make sure : you go down to the school, physically -
hang around the Registration counter.
To get \"live\" data, is better to go in the afternoon, after 3 pm.
In the morning, the figures keep changing. (not stable)
Funny thing is there're some parents who like to trot in last minute, after 4 pm.
That's when the adrenaline pumping fast.
because initially there're some parents > 2 km thought they stand a chance.
Then last minute suddenly a drove of parents staying within 1 km or within (1 to 2 km) from Popular schools. turn up last minute to register around 4 pm -
knocking those > 2km totally zero chance. -
Take leave only on the last day of Phase 2C.
Because the greatest amount of activity occur on the LAST day of Phase 2C, esp. after 3 pm onwards, until 4.30 pm.
A lot of last minute withdrawal from parents who realize they stand no chance, got to enrol in some other schools.
+ a lot of parents walking in to enrol, ESP. Those less than 1 km, or within 2 km.
First 2 days of Phase 2C -
No need to take leave.
People just monitoring movement. -
So I assume I should also just take the 2nd day leave (15th July) to standby and register too for Phase 2A(2)? And leave the first day to monitor the situation if there will be high chance of balloting for 1-2KM in Phase 2A2! Gosh, I really can feel the heat now!
-
Yes, take leave on 2nd day of Phase 2A2.
first day of 2A2 : nothing much.
Those staying within 1 km are confident, so normally they tend to enrol first.
Same apply to those within (1 to 2 km).
Usually those > 2 km tend to hold back, wait until Day 2, then wait and see first, before decide what to do.
Parents just monitoring number, on Day 1.
Day 1 : very little withdrawal.
Day 2 : more activity, after 3 pm. (ESP. Last 1.5 hrs) -
Do we need to print out from OneMap to prove to school we are within 1km on the day of registration? Or the school will verify via their system when they key in our application?

No, you don't need to. The school has the addresses to tell the staff if your house is within 1km. -

Yes, school will check.
On Registration day :-
Every parent will get a queue number, and wait.
Because many parents walking into school, to register too.
They'll direct you to a room, sit down, wait.
They will call out the queue number, one by one.
When your turn come, you pass the stack of your child's documents, to the Registration officer.
This Officer will verify parents' IC, plus all documents.
Any doubts or queries - the Officer will ask parents, on the spot.
Eg : why 2 parents' IC address, are different.
For Phase 2A1 parents : arrange for your alumni Head in charge, to print out the alumni letter for you.
You need this important letter, to prove to the Registration officer.
For Phase 2A2 parents : bring your report card, as evidence that you were an ex-student before.
For Phase 2B Parent Volunteer : bring that letter, that certify you had clocked x number of hours completed, in your school.
After Registration Officer finish verification, she will pass this stack of documents, over to another admin staff in charge of keying in / punching data rapidly into school computer.
All data at close of Registration after 4.30 pm to around 6.30 pm (long, busy days), will be uploaded into MOE central database, for daily update, centralized control monitoring purpose.
Because MOE have to consolidate data.
Around 8 pm to 9 pm, MOE have to put up on her website :-
the number of Applications received for that day, for all primary schools in Sg.
This admin staff who took that stack of documents from the Registration officer -
Will verify the address : falling with which distance range ?
(In case some parents try to cheat.
Eg: fall within 1 to 2 km, say that they fall within 1 km, instead)
Once everything been completed :-
This admin lady will inform parents that their Registration has been successful.
she'll then give parents a Registration number, of their child enrollment.
In future (for reference) -
parents just need to quote this Registration Number, issued by the school.
Thus, there is no letter from MOE whatsoever, notifying parents that their enrolment is successful.
This Registration number, issued by the school, indicate that your child's enrolment, has been successful.
This admin lady will also inform parents by when, parents can expect an official letter issued by the school, to be sent to their house (according to the address, provided during Registration), by normal postage.
Not via email, but by normal postage, delivered by postman, into your letter box. -
Tks phtthp for the details of registering.
What if last min withdraw of the school and register in another school? Will it take long time for the school to do it in these 2 process? Both parents need to be present in both cases? Tks! -
Hi,
Can i use my new home address to apply for the school within 1KM? I will only collect my keys in Dec 2014. Will the school accept my new home address or will they still refer to the address in my NRIC? -
P1 2014 dates are on MOE website
