Hi everyone, anyone intend to enrol your kids to Queenstown primary? Any reason why you choose this school or why you dont? I am staying within 1km.


:thankyou:

Just to check. I’ll be registering my son during phase 2c. During this period I can only choose one school or I can try a few school?

currently Pei Chun and Kheng Cheng are both in my mind. Both are within 1km. Based on past trending Kheng Cheng doesn’t require balloting for 1km. On the other hand, PCPS doesn’t usually has balloting for 1km but for last year registration only 1-2km needs balloting.

\"Which one should I go for?\"
You may not really have much of a choice. If you decide to go for ACS, the eventual school may not even be 1 of those 2, i.e. you have to have a backup for Phase 2Cs.

SJI is almost a guaranteed place in Phase 2B, while ACS is almost a guaranteed ballot for < 1km in Phase 2C. Assuming you go for ACS and missed out of the ballot, your backup for Phase 2Cs will come into play.

Generally, for peace of mind, go for SJI at Phase 2B. After which, you can sit back, relax and wait for a blood bath at ACS in Phase 2C. If, for some reason, the situation is safe for <1km at ACS, you can feel free to make the switch. However, do watch out for parents who will also think alike to join in at the last minute. Guarantee to set off panic attacks in the dying moments. Also note that once you decide to make the switch, you lose your existing seat in SJI.

[quote]17. Can I register my child in more than one school?
No.

You can only register your child in one school at any particular phase. Our computer system will be able to detect duplicate registrations. You must withdraw your application in order to register at another school.[/quote]
