thought it is compulsory that those born on 1st jan will register with the prev batch? so in her case, she will have to fall under 2012 dragon batch.
Yes if Jan 2013 is a snake, can opt to follow the dragons too....but will be v competitive..
she can register under year of the snake with those born in 2013 IF she has a medical reason....that's my understanding. -

if born Jan 1 2013, will attend school with the 2012 batch right?
Kaypoh...so niece will be registering school in 2018.
The Primary One (P1) Registration Exercise is for children who are at least 6 years old on 1 January at the year of admission to P1.
For example, the 2015 P1 Registration Exercise is for children who are born between 2 January 2009 and 1 January 2010 (both dates inclusive).
Under the Compulsory Education Act, children born between 2 January 2009 and 1 January 2010 (both dates inclusive) have to be registered in the 2015 Primary One (P1) Registration Exercise for admission to P1 in 2016. If you wish to defer your child's entry into P1, you would have to write in to Compulsory Education Unit for approval.[/quote]So for your niece, there's no option and she will have tougher competition due to dragon year, unless there's a strong enough reason to defer, but you need approval from MOH. -
even the PD said she would be registering with the dragon batch kids.

Thanks, qms! The following year, 2018, would be a truly nail-biting year for P1 Registration, with the bumper crop of Dragon babies!
Will be interesting to see the number of shows that require balloting in P2A(1) and P2A(2) in 2016 and 2017. Could send a lot of shivers down the parents of cohort 2019. -

Parents should seriously consider joining their desired schools' Alumni sooner than later, if they are really concerned.ChiefKiasu:

Yes agree. We joined liao. So scared the next criteria will be base on date of joining alumni. .

Actually I am wondering if we hit quota for phase 2a1, will we be shifted down automatically to 2a2 or still got to ballot via distance. …
Cos if you are in alumni you are automatically an old boy or girl already… -

May have to move house too. Balloting will surely impact those > 2km. -

If the school is oversubscribed in Phase 2A(1), it means there will be no places left for Phase 2A(2). So the next chance is at Phase 2B (20 seats) and Phase 2C (20 seats + left over from Phase 2B, if any).Actually I am wondering if we hit quota for phase 2a1, will we be shifted down automatically to 2a2 or still got to ballot via distance. ....
