2014 P1 Registration Exercise for 2015 In-Take

[est1892]

Thank you. So I can change schools even after registering if i do so before the last day 1st August. There is only 1 school within 1km from me and i am assuming it will probably have to ballot even with 20 places, the other school is between 1-2km but also might have to ballot in 2C(S). Dilemma.

[quote=\"est1892\"]after registering in 2C and waiting for the result to be announced. if my school of choice needs to ballot can i withdraw before the ballot and register at another school within the 2C phrase?

Nope. Once you have registered, details of your child would have been captured in MOE's system. You will then have to go through balloting. Failing at this stage would mean you have to apply under Phase 2C(S).

However, you can decide on the last day of P2C registration (based on vacancies available by enquiring from the school) and make an informed decision as to which of your preferred school has a \"higher\" chance.

Oh...didn't realize that! I thought I could register at sch A on 1st day of 2c, monitor and should it have high chance of balloting then I withdraw and register on 3rd day at sch B. No???[/quote]We have a different sceanrio here, est1892 was asking if she can withdraw her application while awaiting for balloting. That would mean he/she would have registered her child at the close of P2C.

As for your case, you are considering your options during the 3 days registration period for P2C.

Since it is within the same phase, you might as well monitor and register only on the third day, rather than going through the trouble of registering with School A on the first day, only to withdraw on the third day and register with School B.

based on figures so far -

3 full schools : MGS, SCGS, Maris Stella manage to escape 2A2 balloting

Ai Tong, Red Swastika, Fairfield Methodist also escape.

You don't need both parents to be present for the registration.

If everyone is likeminded, expect to see many last minute walk in registrations in the last hour of 2C. As such, the registration figures published on first few days of phase 2C will be grossly understated :yikes: :nailbite:

This has been the case for years. Those who have registered early are understandably upset. But what to do? MOE doesn't prohibit such action (esp. the last minute withdrawal and registration).
