IP students in IP Secondary schools from Sec 1 do Higher Chinese. (HCL)
if a child wants to learn Chinese, any school can do. why take up a place in a SAP school to do higher Chinese?mashy:
But if no intention to study Chinese, why even bother getting into a SAP school? It's depriving others who genuinely want to learn Chinese, of a place.
HCL is compulsory, in a number of IP Sec schools now.
Many parents targeting their children to enter IP schools, prefer them to be exposed to Higher Chinese in primary schools, earlier the better.
Which primary schools offer HCL ?
SAP schools plus a few non-SAP schools.
Majority of non-SAP schools start HCL in Primary 5, which to some parents targeting IP Sec schools, may feel is late.
That is why nowadays, we see even non Chinese race parents also targeting their kids to enter primary SAP schools.
Besides, China is a booming economy, they want their kids grow up, be able to communicate in Mandarin, for the benefit of their children, in case Mandarin is required in their job scope one day. -

Ai Tong was operating in a holding campus due to the school's upgrading for the last 2 years (2014 and 2015). The holding school (in the former Ang Mo Kio ITE Campus) is, unfortunately, very far from the original school location (in Sin Ming). I'm sure that may have played a part in some parents' decision to select another school. However, they are slated to move back to their old campus in 2016, with upgraded facilities and all. I'm quite sure it will be popular again, with a probability of around 50% for Phase 2C.
I will be more conservative at 50% at most. Last year was a easy year, as it was the first year the 20 seats reserve for Phase 2C make it seems very hopeful, 31 spaces 47 applicants, even with this number is 65% chance, which is probably one of the easier year to get into Aitong ... otherwise it has been at most 50% chance only. Let's see how it goes this year. -

That didn't seem to deter the parents from registering...

Yes Galaxyraider, parents, myself included do try to get our kids in a good school. I'm trying to get my child in 2C phase as well but don't want to ballot. Almost all good schools have balloting within 1km. It's like playing lottery. No matter what the odds, there is always a chance you will lose. So 90% chance of getting in means 10% chance you don't.
If it comes to a ballot, I would rather my chances are close to 100% as possible.
Otherwise pick a school with no ballot within 1km in last few years instead.
Most relatively \"good schools are full by phase 2C.
If you end up in 2C supplementary, most schools won't have a place for you. If you do and end up balloting in 2C supp......., I don't want to consider that possibility.

Agree. I want to avoid balloting too. But still have to be prepared for the worst, which is Phase 2C Sup... :scared:Yes Galaxyraider, parents, myself included do try to get our kids in a good school.

Hi Guys,
the school did told me chances are up to 80 percent. not 80 percent.
as the history of birthrate goes, which is lowest birthrate for 2010.
as the recent property sale of sin meng avenue for the past 5 years, chances of sc applying for aitong chances are already there. -
ansari:
Good to be optimistic... as long as ballot is involve whatever high or low % chance, it all depends on luck. have a backup plan for phases 2c supHi Guys,

Check this out

Looks like some schools are going to ballot in phase 2A2 and 2B this year.
Especially Henry Park Primary. Only 62 places left after 2A1!!
The trend is the older schools all have generally high intake (more alumni and old students).
I don't think its going to be any different next year, despite the low birth rate for 2010. Esp if we fail to include new citizens who will boost up numbers.
I think a lot more parents will try for popular schools if they think chances of getting in are better next year.
Lets all hope for the best, and keep our fingers crossed.

Hi
Does anyone know if we end up in balloting situation in phase 2CS, and get balloted out, will Singaporean get priority in choose remaining school, before MOE opens up all vacancies to foreigners?
Thank you in advance. -
BabyRR:
Yes. In Phase 2C Sup. But I think no more balloting as you will have to choose any school that still has vacancy.Hi

Foreigners will be able to register only in Phase 3.
