Hi, please advice me on registration and withdrawal process.. if child gets selected at a school and I accept, does that mean automatically cannot accept admission at another school? Means i exit the process once admission offered & accepted at a certain school? Can i choose not to accept as well?

What do you mean by “accept”? There is no route to indicate acceptance under the P1 registration system.

Unless you’re talking about a transfer situation (after P1). In such situations if you are offered the transfer, you can accept or don’t accept.

Are you referring to P1 registration exercise, or after P1 registration exercise?

For the former:
You can only apply to one school at one time. If you are successful, you will be auto accepted.
To apply to another school, you have to, firstly, withdraw from the school and register your interest in the second school. Unfortunately, if you are unsuccessful, you will have no school to your name. You will have to wait for the next phase and register in another school.

CHIJ, apart from having the same name, are schools that function independently of one another. Preference would usually be determined by where you lived. It is possible to get admission to some of the CHIJ schools even if you live > 2km, e.g. CHIJ Katong.

Bukit View and Lianhua likely to have no balloting < 2km. If you choose to apply to them in Phase 2C, you should be safe in securing a spot.

TBH, Radin Mas is a much more popular school compared to the other two but it can be a challenge for you to get there everyday for the next 6 years. If you choose this school, you may have to consider moving house.
