2016 P1 Registration Exercise for 2017 In-Take

Sengkang is not far from Rosyth.


A lot of parents are fighting hard to enter Rosyth. You have priority n 3 kids to consider.

If I am in your shoes, my first choice will be Rosyth, no headache of getting in.

I agree with zbear. From Sengkang to Rosyth not very far. It is a waste to give up your priority when so many other parents are fighting to get in.

What’s the distance between rosyth and sengkang? Does it require balloting for the past 1-2 years under phase 2A2? If there is no balloting, then it is preferable to go for Rosyth because it is co-Ed.

Stay Sengkang and register child in Roysth for Phase 2A2 happened to my ex-colleague before. Her two children in Roysth. Advice: Just get used to the distance and early mornings.

Since you have three kids, I say, go to rosyth. If distance is too much of an issue, shift over to Serangoon North. It’s easier to shift house than to get into the school you want.

Thank you all for your advice. Will discuss and make arrangements with my hubby for the future!

Hi everyone, just joined the group yesterday.


I have a boy born in 2010, currently staying around Aljunied area but plan to move back my own home at Toh Guan Rd (blk266).

Need your advice on any good school around the area?

Thank you in advance guys …

Hi. Just tring to get an idea. I applied for PV in 3 different schools. within 1km, between 1-2 km and greater than 2km. Was rejected at all 3 schools. Anyone found it difficult getting a PV spot in schools for 2017 intake.

I was wiling to do more than required PV hours and in many different capacities but still rejected.
Is it because schools are cutting down on number of parents accepted for PV?
:?

To answer your question, it is perhaps useful to know which are the 3 schools? Are the 3 different schools one of those \"hot\" schools? For eg. the conclusion based on NYPS, RGPS and SMPS will be very different from BTPS, SPS and BHPS (assuming all these schools accept PV).

If yes, then it is not surprising to see rejection, especially if you live more than 1km away.
If your choice within 1km is not one of those popular schools, then it is indeed surprising (but the school may have more than the required number).
