[Estéema]

My PRC neigbour cldnt take the rigor to compete for the good schools at P1 registration, so she registered her son for Mayflower Pri Sch & within 4 mths, she got her DC a place with River Valley whilst still in P1. He’s doing very well & bilingually to boot.

[quote=\"dramaqueen82\"]my DS registration is unsuccessful at phase 2C, can i go ahead to register him at Phase 2C Supplementary at the next available sch but put wait list at the sch of my choice at phase 2C at the same time? Do i go down to the school itself to submit my wait list?

call up the school you are interested in first : inquire if they still accept Waitlist processing, for students who had failed at balloting Phases (2A1, 2A2, 2B, 2C, 2CS ) during P1 registration.

reason -
some schools had withdrawn the Waitlist (Transfer) form, until end of P2 the earliest, then they will release back the Waitlist form, & put it back onto their school website, because by then (towards end of P2): they want to see your child's (P1, P2) results, plus Cca activities, plus report card child's behavior.

Waitlist form : is the same as Transfer form

Waitlist form is not the same as Transfer form lah.

I got a friend who waitlist after balloted out at 2C last year. Put her child’s name on waitlist same day as balloting result, saying she lives just across the road and very sad got balloted out. The school called her between Christmas Day and New Years Day. Those final few days of the year. Her child couldn’t even buy school uniform because the vendor was closed. Started P1 in the school without school uniform, but very happy.[/quote]
Zac's mum is right.

Waitlist is different fr Transfer.

[What The]

Use the PH to make a good choice on which school to apply for Phase 2CS.

After that, most schools will have little or no vacancies.
May end up posted to a school far from home.

I am gg for Greendale Pri, can anyone share information for this school?

It seems like not a bad school. Have a look at their website. They have several achievements and bonding activities boasted on their website.

And this was last year’s Orientation slides. It gives quite a good insight into the school. Including student care details (if u need):

Thanks alot for the reply.
Was abit lost after unsuccessful balloting in Mee Toh.
Hence will like to go for a more secure school like Greendale Pri then Edgefield Pri.

Congrats to all who are successful and for those unsuccessful I can totally understand your feelings as I’m also balloted out during 2A2 phase.

Though I got a seat in 2C, but I’ll still put on waitlist… If got in, it’s a bonus…

Is the admission/ballot for 2CS the same as earlier phases? Meaning SC ahead of PRs + home-school distance? Or is it free play everyone equal chances? Thanks for advise

SC always 1st priority, followed by home school distance, followed by PRs

Advise please?

1.Should I take the risk to ballot for Marymount Convent in phase 2cs (1-2km)?
2. Next 3 best alternatives from the TOP list provided which still have vacancies? Got to mentally prep myself for another ‘unsuccessful’ text message on 21 August 2018.
Staying in TPY, SC, dear daughter.
Thank you!

I tend to agree with phtthp. Technically the wait list is a transfer request. Just that you hope that the transfer happens before your child enters primary school, which means another child vacates her place at the school before p1. However there’s no guarantee that would happen. A place may be freed up sometime during p1 and you may be offered that place.


Take a look at this wait list form:

Received successful message for saint Andrews junior school @8:01 . Orientation is on 9nov Friday

Same here! My SMS only came in at 8.15am so I was dying a little on the inside. Our boys will be schoolmates! :snuggles:

Congrats to both! My boy is going to SA too. Shall we have a WA chatgroup to connect? SA's thread is rather quiet.
