2018 P1 registration exercise for 2019 intake

[calzz]

For some of us, it's the first time our kids are going to P1... naturally we will feel anxious...

Well, i guess that's the reason we are in this KiasuParents forum

I need to know the outcome fast, so that can decide which student care to enroll my child in. Been shopping around, and it’s scary how kiasu parents are. Some student cares are already full for next year P1 intake.

Wow is that so? When I was considering RGPS the student care there does not accept registration until late in the year sometime in November! And it’s not about being kiasu but seeking a real solution to working parents and juggling Primary school children!

The current student care my 2 elder kids are in is already full. I'm shifting houses end of the year, and went to the new area to look around. Checked with 3 centers, 1 is full, 1 has 4 slots left, and 1 just tell me they still have space.
I have a friend who submitted her registration late last year, for 2019 intake. :shock:

I joined this forum to learn more about p1 registration for my #2. we planned to register her in my former school and wanted to find out the chances since we stay more than 2km away. it's risky since we were giving up a place in phase 1.

Asking about Yangzheng primary, do you think phase 2C will ballot for SC <1km?

Need some advice from fellow gurus on which school to reg for 2C for my son:


Within 1km
- Punggol Green (76 slots left)
- Punggol View (96 slots left)

Within 2km
- Mee Toh (37 slots left)
- Horizon (99 slots left)

We are SC. We like Mee Toh but with only 37 slots, it seems very low chance for us to get in so left with Horizon, Punggol Green and Punggol View. How will fellow gurus choose?

You see... https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/2018-p1-registration-oversubscription-risk/ and https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/punggol/...

Risk level from high to low monitor from 2016 for phase 2C : Punggol Green -> Mee Toh -> Horizon -> Punggol View ...
I monitor from 2016 batch cos that's when I registered my #1... I registered her for Punggol Green... 200+ registered with 100+ vacancies and all 200+ who registered are SC <1km wor.... yes... I failed the ballot... don't underestimate Punggol Green popularity...

I think it’s bad luck (or maybe the authorities poor planning).

Prior to 2015, Punggol Green wasn’t a popular option. Unfortunately, I’m 2015 / 2016, projects like Twin Waterfalls / Ecopolitan and the first phase of development at Matilda TOP. For some of the projects in Matilda, Punggol Green is the only school within 1km (Springdale is also within 1km but you will have to cross the expressway to Sengkang). Given that Matilda is close to fully developed, I believe it is possible that demand for Punggol Green will spike further.
