Hi all,


I was not born and brought up in Singapore so am not sure of the education system here. Can anybody please suggest whether international school syllabus IB or the local syllabus is better also when the child finishes his A level or Junior college in IB is there any preference to local school students compared to IB students or vice versa

Hi!


I m new to this forum and I cant find any threads dedicated to parents joining the school alumni to qualify for phase 2A.

does joining the alumni guarantee a place for your child in the school?

is home-school distance stilll an issue in phase 2A?

how do we find other members of the alumni to endorse our application?

Thank you!

You can't find any thread for that because you are pretty much guaranteed a place for phase 2A. In fact, save your money and skip joining the alumni (unless you are doing it for the love of your school). Phase 2A2 is good enough to guarantee a place. Balloting has never been necessary for Phase 2A.

Thanks Big devil!

another question,

can you apply for sch 1 under phase 2A and get accepted,

and apply for school B under phase 2C later

before making a final decision?

Hi, I’ve got a really stupid question to ask.


When’s the 2011 P1 registration starting? I’ve seen nothing on the MOE site and the kindergartens have not said anything.

How does the process begin? Do we get notified by post or via the kindergartens?

Experienced parents please advise. Thanks!

the kid will bring back a booklet from their kindergarten (for kid starting P1 in 2011, P1 registration will be in 2010; for kid starting P1 in 2012, registration in 2011, the kindergarten will issue the booklet in 2011 months prior to the registration).
alternatively you can go to MOE http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/ to check. usually around June/July.

Thanks jedamum and zoan.


My kid is suposed to start P1 next year. So far, her kindy has not given out any booklet. Any idea if the kindys have started distributing yet?

The nanny is the one taking my kid to school and my kid has missed a few days of school recently. Kinda worried if I’ve missed the excercise.
