2017 P1 Registration Exercise for 2018 In-Take

[greeniac]

hello @galaxyraider and @phtthp, thank you for the inputs


@galaxyraider affiliates is what all my friend said should consider, and they said CHIJ is a good school but nothing decided yet haha

@phtthp you have given inputs that we haven't thought before. Will do the GCE O level checking and put it in our consideration. And as for our daughter preference, last week she did mention eagerly that she wants to go to River Valley Primary school. This due to some of her peers that born in 2010 went to RVPS. But RVPS is not within 2km from our house, so i don't think she can get the slot there and its a little too late for PV now.

Thank you for the inputs, we will do the homework now and check with our daughter also which one she prefers and we will try for P2C, and crossing finger she can get the slot as its quite competitive i heard

phtthp:

first, you need to check whether the Secondary school which CHIJ Kellock primary, is affliated to :-

how are her GCE O level results, like ?
is this Secondary school O level results : good or not, in her GCE \"O\" level performance, so far ?

Many CHIJ Kellock students went to the affiliated secondary not because of O level results. They simply loved the culture and environment. This is something which you can't tell from the numbers.

If your girl is indifferent between a single gender school and a co-ed school, look at the CCAs offered by both schools and ask her to indicate her preference. You may not be able to deduce anything from the O level results of St Theresa.

RMPS and CHIJ Kellock have different culture. If you do not mind either, perhaps like what the other forummer suggested, you may like to look at the chances of getting in. There shouldn't be any problem in your girl getting into CHIJ Kellock. As for RMPS, the school conducted balloting for SCs in the 1-2 km category last year whereas prior to that, balloting was always for SCs in the less than 1 km category. This could be because more parents registered their children in Alexandra Primary rather than RMPS.

Yes.

Which forum thread or link will it be posted on[/quote]If you're referring to the main update from admin, then you just need to go to the usual balloting history page.

If you're referring to live updates from members when registration is ongoing, there's no dedicated thread for that. And don't count on it as the updates are voluntary.

What's the balloting history for Catholic High and Kuo Chuan Presbyterian in Phase 2C? We are within 1-2km of the school.


Also, any affiliation for sec school for Kuo Chuan?

Yes, there's affiliation between Kuo Chuan Primary & Secondary. As of this year, you only need 200 points to go to express. Not sure about balloting in Phase 2C. Should be either <1km or 1-2km.

For past 5 years,
no balloting required <1km, all in.
Balloting required for >1km.

Now that we see more and more parents planning way ahead for their children's schools, it is perhaps a little late that we start this thread only now.


So, parents who are registering in 2017, please fall in here.

Hi All,

My twin boys will be registering in 2017 for 2018 Primary 1 intake. Just sent in my membership application to the SHKH.

Hi Gatt, just wondering if its too late to apply for membership now as being a member does not automatically put you in phase 2B. You need a recommendation letter from SHHK to register for P1 under phase 2B and I think that you need to spend considerable amount of hours in doing volunteer work for the Huay Kuan before they will issue the letter to you.

Gatt wrote it in 2015, which is, unfortunately, also too late.

Need to sign up at least 3 to 5 years in advance for SHHK schools.
