2016 P1 Registration Exercise for 2017 In-Take

[ptb7476]

mommychia:

Hello.....appreciate advice please:


Details:
Singapore citizens
Within 1km of Punggol Primary
1km to 2km of Holy Innocent
Phase 2C

Preferable choice would be Holy Innocent (10min walk from grandma's after the school moves back from temp site 2 years later and she is his caregiver).

Punggol Primary is nearer to our home than grandma's.

School: Holy Innocent (1km to 2km)
Vacancy as of now: \t121

School: Punggol Primary (within 1km)
Vacancy as of now: 106

We would like to try for Holy Innocent however should we use our own address or with grandma's address/statutory declaration since she is his caregiver?

Understandably if we use the grandma's address and in event there is balloting we would be pushed to the 1km to 2km group.

However if there is no balloting -would they be looking at her address (within 1km) or regardless would they just group us into 1km to 2km as long as we use statutory declaration.. confused -not sure if there is any difference using either address....

Any chance of a backup school..eg Punggol should we fail to get a spot for 2C?

i am in the same situation as you ... so are you my future neighbour :evil:

for me i am monitoring the situation , at present my preferred choice is compassvale primary 1-2Km .. though the advice from MOE officer is i can try HIPS too lolz

my mom also the primary caretake also 1-2km lolz .. anyway .. since your address already 1-2km so IMHO using my mom address is redundant cos that will put you in 1-2km which is the same as using your own address .. it will only make a diff if you are aiming for punggol primary

Looks like Acs primary, nanyang primary and Henry park are confirmed schools requiring balloting at 2a2. MOE website 12 July update is out!

Now that these 3 named schools likely to enter balloting at Phase 2a(2) :
next year batch of students (born 2011) due for P1 registration, should join Phase 2a(1), to avoid balloting

I agree that many will go for Phase 2A1 but it could also end up such that the total alumni applicants will be more than the vacancies for Phase 2 and we will be balloting at 2A1 :shock: Then the distance between school and home factor will come into play.....

No matter how policies are tweaked, somebody gets hurt.....

so next year more will join alumni and then one fine day even Phase 2A1 would face balloting. then many will cry foul.

P1 registration is getting more stressful Moving up from 2C -> 2B -> 2A2. Next year, more will join alumni.. So phase 2A1 will no longer be stress-free :nailbite:

Nanyang, Henry Park and ACS Primary are already oversubscribed at phase 2A2. One more day to go, I think parents trying CAtholic High School and St Nicholas are crossing their fingers.

Parents of children born 2011 would have to join as alumni by 30 Jun 2016 to qualify for Phase 2A(1), so it would be too late if they have not done so by now...

Yet, most likely will happen, to the 3 schools.

But if is the year of Dragon, Yes, expect balloting in Phase 2A(1)

[janet88]

Who would have imagined this year would be so hot?

Balloting in phase 2A2 :yikes: come 2018, I guess balloting will take place in more schools which have phase 2A1.

Uhhhhhh... In case it escapes the minds of some of you, balloting at Phase 2A(1) had already happened last year . So it's not one fine day anymore.


Also, joining alumni may not avoid balloting. According to MOE website, only registration at Phase (1) is guaranteed. All the subsequent phases can be subject to balloting should the number of applicants exceeds the number of vacancies.
