ChristineTioh:

Hi, I am a newbie. Looking for Primary school for my son next year.


My house is not near (<1km) to any school. Nearest is Yew Tee Primary. 2.9km. DLS is 3.2km and SV is 3.9km

Any suggestion or opinion.

Thanks. :?:

Hi Christine, sorry to say the only way to secure a place is to do PV as all schools within CCK are hot and you can forget about these 3 schools if you're not staying within 1km. DLS don't accept PV, I don't think SV accept PV for those outside 2KM and if I remembered correctly, there was balloting for phrase 2B for those PV within 1km last year...seem like the only option is to do PV at YT. Good luck.

Hi all,


I am a new user and daddy of 3. My eldest son is in K2 now and I am having headache on where to register him next yr.

1st choice SV - more than 1km less than 2km so meaning balloting require and chances not high.

2nd choice - St Anthony (Bt Batok) 3.9km but can use caretaker address, just opp the school…Still under P2C. Wife is currently praying in Catholic church but she has not baptised herself…arggh, will seek alternative with church, hopefully the church can help and have us in P2B.

3rd choice - CCKPS within 100mtr !! How is this school ?? not much comments in here on this school.

Thanks and cheers
Cheng

Heyya there neu daddy! Welcome to the forum..

Do post a short intro at the Newbies thread so everyone here can get to know
you better, yah. Click this blue link to go right there. > http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewforum.php?f=28

It's always nice hearing from daddies here. :celebrate:

Balloting is normal here at SV, even at the 1km phase. In fact last year, some
of the PV (Parent Volunteers) lost their supposedly thought guaranteed spaces
due to balloting as the PV was over-subscribed. I suppose it's a matter of luck
here if you do eventually go for it. SV parents, feel free to correct my information
yah.. more credible to come from current parents.

Sounds like a better chance here. Of course it'll save you and yer missus a lotta
heartache and trouble if you manage to squeeze into Phase 2B. Good luck!

Wuah! Lagi nearest! But caregiving issues how? Cos you mentioned caregiver is
at Bt Batok? I have an ex-student in this school and the parent says child is
very happy there and the teachers have been good. Her DD is in P3 there now.
Sorry not able to provide further details on the school, as have not been able
to catch up with other parents i know there for more in-depth details.

Another way is also to find some answers at the Parents Networking thread.
Mebbe you'd get more information there. Click the blue link to go right there.

Hi Buds,


Thanks for the notes.

Any forumer aware of the successful rate for P2C in SAPS ?? I was thinking to use the caretaker since my dad is staying there.

Thanks
Cheng

for St Anthony, if you are using Caregivers' address legally, you need to make a http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/#statutory-declaration. with that, your application will be categorised under the 1-2km from school category even if the caregiver's address is less than 1km from the school. with that, you will stand zero chance in Phase 2C as balloting is required for application within 1km from school

You saying that those in P2C will stand 0 chance ???? What if i take the risk and proceed with it and then if cannot get, i revert back to CCKPS ?

for SAPS, in Phase2C, those staying more than 1km has zero chance. those using caregiver's address legally (ie requiring statutory declaration), will have their application deemed as category 1-2km despite physically staying within 1km from the school, hence they will stand zero chance too.
don't waste your chance trying. if you really think may have miracle, check the statistics again on the last day of phase 2C registration (can call up school to check) and then you can decide whether to proceed to register or reserve your chance for another school.

thanks jedamum, will seriously need to discuss this with my wife…she is going to be very disappointed.
