2017 P1 Registration Exercise for 2018 In-Take

hojicha:

Twins, triplets, quadruplets ... all count as 1 seat

that's my understanding. whether 2, 3 or 4, they count as 1 seat...can't possibly split them up. i know of someone whose triplets got into nanyang through balloting. 1 seat, all 3 kids in.

zac's mum:

My rationale is, the age of mothers giving birth is getting older statistically. And I heard higher maternal age leads to higher chance of conceiving multiples. Both natural and via IVF.

with women getting older and receiving fertility treatments, doctors will put in more than 1 embryo but there is a cap, in case the embryos split and the woman ends up with 5 or even 6 kids :yikes:
seldom the case of multiples for natural conception.

imagine the family of twins or triplets get the lucky ball if balloting takes place...the number of eyes glaring at them.

I thought it depends on the parents whether want to count them as 1 or 3? I might be mistaken though...

Orb:

... If there is a ballot, then the 3 children share one balloting chance. If their ball is picked, 3 vacancies will be taken up. However, the special rule is if they are the last ball to be picked, then all 3 will get in.


But i stand corrected. Maybe someone can clarify?

You are right. Also, if multiple births are balloted in at an earlier Phase as the \"last ball\", they will take up vacancies from the latter Phases. It is only in the final Phase where the school will have to request MOE to open up extra spaces for the triplets.

andrew1:

what are the differences between all the SAP schools ?

I know! I know!

They all got different names.

Wait... you ask for differences, with a \"s\"... hmmm...

They all got different names, different uniforms, different school badges, different principals...

andrew1:

3 children share 1 table 1 chair ? what if all 3 children are obese ?

Schools will assign Twins / triplets to go to separate Primary 1 classes

Twins : common

Triplets : rare

3 children share 1 table 1 chair ? what if all 3 children are obese ?

Is this question for real? By the way, please try to type all your sentences in 1 post instead of writing multiple posts with 1-liners.

If you leave out 1 question, you can always edit it to add that to the original post. Hope it helps!
