[quote=\"Mummy_ask\"]anyone can enlighten on these schools pls,


Holy Innocent Primary (HIPS) Vs Chij OLN (girls)
(both under Phase 2B)

ARGHHHHHHH.............. NEXT WEEK!
Have a #02 (Boy) to follow 3 yrs later.


HIPS (within 2km) is moving out for 2 years to AMK holding school - Sap School.
IJ OLN is within 1 km

Cant decide!!

1) if register your girl in HIPS which is co-Ed, then you won't have headache with younger one...phase 1.
2) CHIJ OLN has affiliation, if you wish to enjoy that.
3) even if school moves to holding school somewhere else, the original address of the school will still be used when registering for p1.

Hi Mummy_ask

It depends on whether you would like to house both your kids in the same school. Not sure if the distance is an issue for you for the holding school.

HIPS for the past 10 years - 8 times ballot on 2B but for those staying more than 2km. No ballot for those staying within 2km for the last 10 years. If TUR until 2A2 is within 70%, the same trend should follow.

There is no balloting for 2B for CHIJ OLN.

The balloting history suggests that whether you decide to place your #01 in OLN then #02 in HIPS or #01 and #02 in HIPS, both should be likely to be successful. As mentioned by janet88, if you place your #01 in HIPS, you will only experience this P1 registration process once.

If logistics is not an issue (holding school distance, or 2 kids in two different schools), perhaps you also like to see if your #01 likes to be in a girls school or co-ed, overall environment for a mission school should be similar (although I don’t have a first-hand experience of HIPS or OLN)

CHIJ OLN is affiliated to CHIJ St Joseph’s Convent

HIPS is affiliated to Holy Innocents’ High School[/quote]
Thanks Lexy for the advise.
Distance to us is not a problem.
Think i am just indecisive over these 2 schools cos am just concern whether my gal can cope in the SAP school with the CHINESE.
I like IJ's environment and their CCA.
If only have 1 school nearby with the 2 combine that would be PERFECT!

hahaha..... 3days to go and will have to decide

Hello...


Haven't been very active in this thread...come Monday and it will finally be my turn to do this P1 registration thing for my 1st born, feeling a little nervous and somehow not quite coming to terms my boy is going into formal \"serious\" school.

Right now, all I can ask for is an uneventful P1 registration process. Keeping my fingers and toes all crossed, as I will be doing another round of P1 registration for my 2nd born next year :xedfingers:

Phase 2B for SJIJ within 2km is pretty ok yah...based on past years' history

Yes. All the best.

Sometimes it's good to go down both schools and have walk and get a feel. You can bring your #01 along to see if she feels anything.

My #01 boy didn't like the SAP feel (just opp my place).

Another question is whether you want to go through the trouble with another P1 registration for your son in Phase 2 or just want to do it once so that he can go to Phase 1 when his turn comes.

PHASE 2C


Hi, can someone advise me...

on 26 July, the online registration starts for phase 2C...
how do i monitor the status... is it only end of each day , then the system will have updates? There is no live updates right? Which means i can only see the leftover vacancies at the end of the first 2 days only ...on the last day of online registration 28 July, i will not be able to see any further updates on the system right? i will have to base on the 2nd day result to make the decision on the last day...

Someone , pls help me... feeling stress :roll: :roll:

Yes, you are right. You won't be able to monitor the situation online. If possible, you should be physically in the school on the last hour to get the live update from their admin staff.

Hi


Can anyone advise? Can call up the school admin to check the number of application (2B) before we enrol? I find it is a waste of time to go down if all the slot are taken up by those stay within 1km.

If I'm not wrong, only registration in Phase 2C can be done online. You can call up the school to check on the status, but it's up to them whether they want to disclose the information or not. It would be a favor, not an obligation.

hi all,


i was wondering - thus far we are looking at the number of vacancies remaining after each phase - how do the parent know if the child has been formally been accepted into the primary school.

would there be a letter or phonecall or email from the school? if not how and when will the school tell the parent to prepare to but uniforms, school books etc etc

thanks in advance
