Hi Parents..


My son is under phase 2C( Within 1km ) for Fairfield Primary School. But from the statistics, for phase 2C, it will be at least 60 applicants for 27 Seats. Our next choice is Alexandra Primary, which we are more the 2km away, but we feel that we are likely to secure a place under Singapore Citizen. But if I don't get a place for Fairfield, Alexandra Phase 2C(Sup) should be gone as well. Thus, any advice what should I do?

Thanks

Fairfield is the dream school for my child, however, when I weight the options that even for those less than 1 km, they only have around 80% chance of getting in. This is the historical data, not sure about this year.

Hard to tell the chances for Alexandra as it's very new. Some pple say this year they are expecting ballot for >2km, some pple say there might be ballot for 1-2km. No one can really advice you for this school due to lack of data. You just have to monitor and decide what risks you want to take.

Thank you dear. I feel so bad because I also have a little daughter. If I can register her brother in ATS this year, I don’t need to go thru this stressful process once again… Anyway I will try to stay positive. Start to pray for Friday’s battle

I have read in the earlier posts that online registration is treated equally as physical registration. I hope that is true because I am now in 2 minds about registering online and queuing up phsically the next day.

Limahkiaw, I was talking to Edgrace, no need your comment. You should be ashamed of yourself. Hope your child doesn't turn out like you. Your son has SAP brain? Oh really? I doubt with your words.

Hello I don't understand the kiasu mentality I registered my son in a neighborhood school but he has SAP brain .... Even if your kid goes into \"good\" school but has a neighborhood brain it will be the same ... Hope you all understand ... Hahaha


You, Limahkiaw, is here to create trouble. Moderator should banned you here for posting insensitive remarks.

Ewww! That's just ... Unclassy. Please be sensitive. In the midst of all this stress we all don't need such unkind words (SAP brain or not :p)

Congrats to all those who secured a place for their kiddos in their choice schs earlier on.


And for those who got to go for balloting this Fri, all the best and pls remember that worse comes to worst, P1 is just the warm-up of a marathon race. It’s just a small step.

We parents can play a big role in educating our kids, in partnership with whichever schs they eventually end up with. 1-to-1 attention vs 1-to-40 attention (in a typical class) … of course we’ll make a big difference. Fret not!

P1 registration is sooo stressful… Have a few frens who got their school of choice liao and some others all prepared for balloting le.


Good luck to all who have to go for balloting this Friday!

How will a ballot be conducted?

Is it advisable to witness it?

My time was a big 'fishtank' bowl with the boys' name thrown in. I heard subsequent years used a numbered bl.. Macham like toto machine (not sure if all schools used that though).

Thk it's ok to go down but I would advise u not to bring your kid down. They will not be able to comprehend 'why didn't I get in' shd the unfortunate happen. If possible, I would also advise you not to tell the kid abt his 'potential' primary school until you get it. It really is quite heartbreaking (I feel) at the point in time (at the ballot) shd the kid's name not be selected.

better don’t bring child down, for balloting.


balloting in itself is already stressful.
bring a child down, wait got to explain to child why didn’t get in, add to further unnecessary stress.

you can always bring yr child down on actual P1 orientation day itself

I am not sure if I can to take the stress of not being picked. My boy wish to join his peers in the same sch. But we don't stay near to the sch... So into ballot phase...
