By the way, I'm quite confused reading your post. You're an alumni of ACSJ but you want to register in Catholic High? You can secure a place in ACSJ first, then you can weigh your chances in subsequent phases to register in Catholic High.

He was trying to find an Catholic High alumni who is targeting ACSJ, so as to carry out a 1-to-1 exchange of his phase 2A ACSJ placement with a phase 2A Catholic High placement.

There is no such scheme. You can't do 1-to-1 exchange. If you let your secured seat go, it will just be released to the pool for the next phase.

Hi I'm new here, looking for seminars about P1 registration. Chanced upon this free Mandarin talk this Sat afternoon. Thought it will be good to share : https://www.eventbrite.sg/e/preparing-your-child-for-primary-education-tickets-35337120278?aff=es2

Thanks all for your response.


Indeed we must think differently and out of the box to be successful in life.

What I’m trying to do is obtain a place in 2A1 and simply swapping it with another set of parents also secured in 2A1. I don’t see that as detriment or breach of system or unfair as both of us are giving up alumni entitlements in exchange for better logistics for our sons. It is NOT an attempt to swap before securing our respective places.

In the end of the day, it’s a win-win situation and MOE/Schools do not lose too because they wouldn’t know
the merit of each student. If kids are allowed to transfer at P2/P3 then I don’t see why they cannot transfer before enrollment if both parents are consenting?

unfortunately thinking out of the box doesn't apply to all situations.
p1 registration is a transparent process. alumni privilege is given to the particular person and not meant to be exchanged. this is why there are terms and conditions for each phase and usually tied to home address where the child & parents are staying.

when kids transfer to another school in p2 or p4, it is a separate issue.
It may seem like a win-win to the parents and MOE but this is not the way things work.

The reason why this can't be done is because it will affect other sets of parents.

If you have secured a place in 2A1, it will affect the available seats in 2A2 onward. If you release the secured seat, someone else from 2A2, 2B, 2C etc should get the released seat. So if you release it to an outsider who should not be in the queue in the first place, it's unfair to those who are in the queue based on their merit.

merit?

i think galaxyraider is referring to privilege for those who get to register in phases from 1 to 2B.

Sorry, I meant privileges such alumnus but not alumni members (2A2), as association with clan/church (2B), distance to school, etc.

e.g.: If you have secured a place in 2A1 and total seats for 2A2 is 40 (just for example). So if there are 41 applicants, 1 of them would be balloted out. If you give up your secured seat before 2A2 starts, that 1 seat will go to 2A2 so no balloting needed. But if you swap your secured seat, it's unfair for that 1 parent in 2A2. And so on... I just simplify the example as most likely the affected seats will be in 2B.

I sarpok you.

We should start a student exchange like the stock exchange.

Maybe CHS place to trade for a spot in AMK primary school less $1,000, or ACS place to trade for a place in CHS plus $100

It is NOT an attempt to swap before securing our respective places. At the end of the day, it's a win-win situation for everyone

End up only the super rich people have their kids in those schools and they will truly become super elite schools... :siam:
