Lindsay:
Hi, I've registered under 2A1 but till now, have not received any confirmation letter from school. Thought we were supposed to get a letter yesterday. Feeling very worried now. Are 2A1 places confirmed for all schools?
At end of Phase 2A(1) registration that day -
You should receive a form, not a letter, from the school, bearing your registration number that day, indicate there Yes or not successful.
This P1 registration form -
School General office keep one copy, you (parent) keep another copy.
You should have this form, with you. Just check the content inside this form, you should know the outcome. If still in doubt, then give your school a call to confirm, giving them your child's registration number on that actual Phase 2A(1) registration number. They will check, and notify you the outcome
If you need to ballot in 2A(1), the school would also have informed affected parents, on that actual day itself, when 2A(1) registration ended.
But this year (year of tiger) : no primary school in sg, was involved in phase 2A(1) balloting
Question :
Then, when will you formally and officially receive an official letter, from the school itself, saying that you have been successful, in black and white ?
For this, you must wait patiently, until the entire p1 registration exercise is over. Sometime in late October or in November, after the school have assigned a primary 1 class officially to your child, then Yes, this official letter will be sent to your house by post / postman. Not by email.
Content of formal, official letter will state clearly :
\"Congratulations, your child's registration in xx school has been successful.
Your son/daughter, have been assigned to 2017 Primary 1 xx class.
There are altogether Total xx Primary classes in this school, a Total intake of xx students.
You may buy P1 school text books on this available dates : xx
(P1 booklist, will be attached to this letter)
You can buy school uniform, PE T-shirts, from our supplier : xx, on these dates available (yy) \"
(This then, is the official school letter)
And if your child happen to study in a SAP primary school :
Primary 1, by default, will kickstart Higher Chinese
Meaning the official letter is the document to expect?
I didn't get the white copy but an official letter came instead. Thanks for clarifying. -
Hi hi thank you very much for all your valuable inputs… Much appreciated
I have a younger son who is 1 at the moment. They are 5 years apart…
So his turn is another 5 years from now I am ok to start the whole Registration again…
My daughter is keen of the girls school as she wants to join her her cousins who are currently there.
At her kiddy currently she is always in a group of girls, though she fools around a lot with
Her boy classmates…
I am just concerned she isn’t a very fiesty girl and worry she might encounter some girl bullying .
And lately I hear parents saying girls school kids tend to be very arrogant and will have problem in future
Mixing with the boys during secondary school or they tend to get more excited seeing boys rather than co Ed school kids …
Or maybe I am just thinking too much.
Hahahahaha KIASU …
However I am new to the forum, I am unsure how to reply and answer to a particular thread
TIA -

do you have any connection with the school your daughter wants to attend, or living near that school? your daughter should be 6 this year and due for P1 registration...which school(s) do you have in mind?
every child is an individual. my daughter is attending an all girls' school. she is pint sized even for her age (11 turning 12 in nov). this girl is a chilli padi, so i am not worried about her being bullied in school. she was bullied in p1 but she managed to handle the situation well and the bully was caught. -
phtthp:
About 1-2 weeks later, u will receive a letter from school to inform you that you have been successful/unsuccessful. Of course it's usually successful, if not they will inform you within the day of ballot so that you can go to the next Phase. This letter is a copy of what you received when you register in the school except that the principal will sign at the bottom and indicate whether you were successful or not.Lindsay:

MummySS:
Haha, if I have a choice, I will definitely send my gal to a girls school in secondary. More people start to pak tor earlier in co Ed sec school which I'm not so keen about. If they are going to go gaga in JC or polytechnic, then so be it. Better than dating in sec school.Hi hi thank you very much for all your valuable inputs.. Much appreciated

Anyway, it's sec school and still a long way to go.
As for bullying, it doesn't matter whether it's co Ed or girls school. Will still have. Just that in co Ed, the boys do more of the physical bullying and in girls school, you only get girl bullies. Girls bully in different ways from the boys. I think we can only teach our kids to defend themselves when it happens and not be the bully themselves. -
MummySS:
MummySS, your son is SG50 baby? Then I feel that you should choose a co-ed school. There were quite a lot of SG50 babies born....comparable to 2012 babies (dragon year). In case there's fierce competition 5 years later.Hi hi thank you very much for all your valuable inputs.. Much appreciated

why are parents so obsessed with putting their kids in a same gender school vs a co-Ed school? Do u think that your DD can be controlled in a girls' school n she won't paktor? Nowadays, youngsters have many opportunities to interact with the opposite gender. Why restrict? Won't it be better to guide her in her school days? Why don't parents fear that your DD may end up being a lesbian in a girls school. I think it's more worrisome than mixing with boys.
When I select a Primary school for my 2 kids, I am very determined to put them in a co-Ed school. I feel they will learn to handle both genders in their daily interaction. I don't have worries that they will end up pak-toring as many times, I share with them the importance of education n putting their priorities right.
I heard that some girls who came from a all girls school got wild when they entered a JC. Why? I suppose they didn't have much chance to mix around with boys so couldn't control their emotions when they entered a coed JC.
As for bullying, it's everywhere - regardless of co Ed or same gender school, elite or neighborhood schools. As a parent, we can't protect our kids forever. What we can do is to educate and guide them to protect themselves. They will learn along the way n become street smart n wiser.
JMHO! No offence intended.

Some of my reasons for girls' schools, offhand:

1) girls from girls' schools seem more confident, less self-conscious and less inhibited with or without boys around
2) girls from girls' schools have this 'I am good' air and have better self-esteem
3) girls from girls' schools speak more eloquently and are more expressive
4) girls from girls' schools have more attractive personality
5) girls from girls' schools seem more 'high class'
6) I'd rather my daughter be a lesbian in her teen than get pregnant and has to stop schooling due to unwanted pregnancy
Just some thoughts about my own classmates who came from different girls' schools. Different but same same. -
A lesbian will be a lesbian for life n not just during teen years. Teenage pregnancies can be resolved but not feelings of a lesbian or gay.
I am not starting an argument on gays n lesbians. So let’s not go off topic. -
No off topic what? I listed my reasons why I would choose girls' schools over co-ed schools.
I think lesbianism in girls' schools are overhyped. One of my classmates asked me back,\"What's your definition of 'lesbian'? To me, a lesbian is someone who has a sexual relationship with the same sex but girls having crushes on other girls is not lesbianism.\"
I hold a different view from you in that I feel that teenage pregnancy can never be resolved satisfactorily while having crushes on same sex is usually a teenage phase which most girls grow out of.
On the contrary, all the lesbians I know come from co-ed schools rather than girls' schools and all the gays I know come from co-ed schools rather than boys' schools
