2018 P1 registration exercise for 2019 intake

[summer83]

For withdrawal, does 2 parents need to be there or just 1 parent with both ICs is sufficient?

Just 1 parent with both the original ICs.

zac's mum:

I am guessing...those people who apply on Day 1 are either:

- PVs of that particular school
- people who die die also want to ballot anyway, so just apply first

The groups who will wait until Day 2 are:
- religious/clan members who have several schools to choose from
- GRLs who have several schools to choose from

Haha... i fall into the second group... but think i'm just going to go at Day 1 then see how. Can't wait to get it over and done... too stressful

very good guess, agreed.
if i may broadly classify.....
Group 1: got no other choices anyway
Group 2: got 1-2 options to play with

This made me laugh - so true! Thanks Lexy and skii for the tables and analyses - it's nerve-wracking and adrenaline pumping. All the best to all of us who are gearing up for battle over the next two days!!

Places your cards if you don't have choice, tell people you are there.
Usually GRLs are the one who try to be nibble and pick the safest odd.
at the end of it, it is still your risk profile vs the other parents' risk profile.

Hi all daddies/mummies,

Going to register my DD under 2C, not sure which school should I register, please help to enlighten me.
1st choice would be either Westwood Primary (SC, <1km) or West Grove Primary (SC, <1km)
2nd choice Pioneer Primary (SC, <2km)
Both Westwood and West Grove seems will have to ballot under 2C. If above fail, backup would be Corporation Primary under 2Cs.

Can you all share your opinion?

Hi, my FB mummy group friend teaches in Westwood and her son's in P1 next year too. Seems like a really good sch from the reviews and from what i see her posting. The teachers are very united.
Not sure about the other schools, but maybe google and read reviews there and on the sch FB page.
I'm also under 2C, but my area is Queesnstown. Can't wait until our turn in 2 weeks! Good luck to us all!!
