2019 P1 Registration Exercise for 2020 In-take

[zac's mum]

The withdrawal must be done at the school by filling up withdrawal form & showing both original ICs.


The difficult part is rushing over to the other school with the original ICs before the final cut off time. Happy running…we were literally breathless & adrenaline spike…

Hello,


We live in Sengkang, just near Sengkang MRT. Seeking admission for our first son. We must go for phase 2C as PR.

May I seek guidance from the experts on the forum:

1. What are the good schools nearby where we may stand fair chance to getting placed?
2. Since we stay on rent, and are ready to relocate, should we apply to a good school even if those are not nearby (which ones?) Or if we do so, we mostly stand rejected?

Thanks for your guidance!

The withdrawal part is easy, its the time taken to School B when you guys decide to withdraw that is the challenge as there are too many variables to consider.

1. Queueing to withdraw from School A (if many parents want to withdraw),
2. Traffic on the day (pray hard no traffic jams)
3. Carpark at School B (any available lots)
4. Location of School B registration (know where to head to to register)

Glad your effort to take the gamble paid off for you Zac's Mum.

You should be going for schools that traditionally don't have balloting in phase 2C otherwise you would just be wasting your 2C chance.

If you are considering placing your child in an all-boys school (with secondary affiliation) then the following schools should be safe for you as a PR in 2C.

1. Montfort Junior
2. St Stephen's School
3. St Gabriel's Primary

Can check is there a significant reduction in sch vacancy. I see some sch used to offer 300 why now so much lesser according to the website mentioned?


Can someone advise?

Yes. There seems to be a reduction in many schools. By around 1-2 classes. Probably due to lower birth rate.

If you are aiming for those popular schools that have ~300 seats, you will need to expect balloting anyway. So just have a 2CS backup school in mind.
