2016 P1 Registration Exercise for 2017 In-Take

[shisan]

Newbie here.

Will be registering my son in SAJS under phase 2C, and i live <1km according to the map provided.
What are his chances? And also, will the fact that he has missing father information on his BC affect his chances? Is it definitely impartial to kids of single parents?
TIA!

Not sure about chances for SAJS but I don’t think it matters if the kids are from single parent families or not.


Singapore is quite disappointing with being fair to single mums but they have always spelt out their discrimination in black and white so I wouldn’t worry about it.

Best of luck in any case

Thanks!!

I hope so, really hope.
Fact is i registered as a PV, they called me up for the breifing, i signed the papers to be a volunteer but they never called me up for any duties. That's why i was worried if it was due to my son's family background. My friends who registered as PV all served and got in the school already. so... :xedfingers: i hope my child is not ostracized or judged for MY situation.

Hi according to data from last couple of years balloting was required for 1-2km range. No balloting was required for less than 1km. However there are many projects that have TOP recently around SAJS

If you had registered as a PV, shouldn't you get into Phase 2B? Why Phase 2C?

I ‘should’ be in phase 2B, but they never called me up for any duties, I didn’t serve a single hour. I checked with them on which phase I should be in and never got a reply, so I’m only assuming I’m in phase 2C. The MOE website says 40 hrs must be served, not just by registering myself. shrug also don’t know why they never called me up for any volunteering duties.

Sometimes, it does pay to be a little more proactive... or, as they say, kiasu, when it comes to things like these. Don't wait for them to call you. Call them or actually go meet up with them directly for projects.

In any case, it is water under the bridge, so just go with the flow and hope for the best. Good luck for SAJS next Friday.

I suggest that u check with the school before Wednesday's registration what extra documents you need to bring? Because your situation is a abit unique. I dunno what they will accept in lieu of the father's NRIC? Better to check beforehand that what u have is sufficient, rather than scramble around during the stressful 3 days of phase 2C. I don't think the school will discriminate, but they are constrained by MOE rules sometimes.

school won't call you, to do volunteering duty.
school not going to assign duty individually, say
\"ok, PV X : you do this duty,

or
PV Y : you do another duty, etc\"

you're supposed to be pro-active, be on the sharp alert look-out for email that come in anytime. Then, you must act & respond very fast.

Once an email come in, many PVs will grab opportunity very fast, react very fast.

eg, reply back to the email, quickly :-

\"Ok, i (your name) take this time slot on which weekday (specific date), from what start time to what end time in school, clock 1 hour ... to do duty X ...\"

Yeah I went to double check my email address, Coz the first brief in they left out a few parents. So we went for the ‘make-up’ briefing. I also did ask the staff in charge of I’m eligible to do PV since my Son comes from a slightly different background. She says it’s all ok, and won’t make a difference. I verified my email and never got a single email from the school since then. I called, and never got a response. My subsequent emails and calls were never responded either. My time was pretty limited to go to the school to ask though. Should have tried harder really. Anyway I hope this round, there isn’t any discrimination, because I know of the stereotype some have labelled us unfortuately. I’m within 1km, so hope that is sufficient.
