2018 P1 registration exercise for 2019 intake
-
Withdrawal or application physically at the admin counter…as with any government/civil service counter…it is always, you know, never as quick as you want. It could be 10 min, it could be 15-20 min. It is not a fast food restaurant. It also depends on the Q of people before you. Have you ever waited at ICA to collect your passport? Or to see a GP? Similar…no one can really gauge how fast.
What u can control at your end is, prepare the necessary photocopies at your end. Then the staff does not need to walk into their office and zap copies for you. You also need to give yourself time to fill up the hard copy form. The staff needs time to verify your postcode in the OneMap system also. -

:roll: Nan Hua Primary is great!! At least parents applying to the sch can get the updates from the sch website itself.. If only all schs are like Nan Hua!! :roll:
Agree. Can help anxious parents to guage their decision. Sch admin also not so hectic need to pick up many calls from the public. -
Erhm, ladies, MOE online registration no need to walk away & photocopy anymore?
Even ICA cut yr queue painful wait, u can do online now. Just announced last week also. Govt all improving customer experiences & super efficient with our internet age.
So, u sit tight at home & wait to hear if u need to ballot. No distraction of what’s my q no coz everyone will be registered fairly. No need to standby separately as husband & wife to make lighting speed decision which to withdrawal & which to register. -
Oh my! It sounds like a painful process. But glad to know your child successfully gained admission into your school of choice.
In my opinion, all these hassle just to register a child for a primary school is not worth it. But different folks, different strokes. -

Yes I did. DH scooted over on his PMD with the original ICs because the 2 schools aren’t that far apart.Hi Zac's mum,
In the end did u managed to get into the 're-registered' sch?
This strategy is really heart attack becoz what happens if after u withdrew from sch 1 then travel back to sch 2. During this time lapse the number of applicants at sch 2 might increase within that 1 to 2hrs?
Yes, this method is really subjecting yourself to heart attack, so pls give yourself plenty of time buffer. And yes, the number can jump up during that time too. DH was not the only person rushing from school A to school B. He ran in together with 2-3 other people. Tensions are high, so don’t play this game if you don’t really need to. -
@phtthp…thank you so much for your kind advice at such late hr…after reading yours and HHMummy advice + my gal asked me: if i go KH, can i zzz in the school bus? TT Most probably i will not register my gal to KH as we can’t move to Geylang where both our parents are in SK area…i tink all i can do is to help her get in n maintain in first 2 class at each level in order to get in a good secondary as i feel secondary school is the most impt part…

The nan hua statistics are very good. I wish all schools have this service.

Primary school years as impt if not impt bcoz u're helping yr gal lay her learning foundation. Watch her enjoy learning, encourage her as she make small gains & into bigger leaps. All these takes time. As u see her negotiate diff hurdles help her along yourself or get appropriate help.
Once yr Pri sch formula set in her system, u've less to worry. Our aim as parents is to help them learn to fish so we don't hv to keep doing the fishing & feeding. You'll then soon see her independent & fulfilled also as a parent when yr girl soar through sec sch.
All the best! -
Hi all,
I am in a dilemma between 2 schools - Fairfield Methodist School (Primary)- phase 2a1, >2km or
St Margaret’s Prinary School - phase 2c, 1-2 km.
I have pretty good memories of my days in Fairfield, but my main concern is the distance. My elder son is currently in a
boys school. So having siblings in different schools is not an issue for me.
Which school would u select? Appeciate your kind advice/opinions. Thanks’ -
I’m also wondering is there any website or better way to know what are the number of applicants applied for phase 2C? Do they split the information to let’s us know how many <1 km, 1-2km, >2km applied?
