2019 P1 Registration Exercise for 2020 In-take

[jongj80]

Thanks Hendon. I am around Queensway/Farrer Rd. The Catholic co-ed schools are quite far, and initially was hoping for SJIJ and CHIJ TP in 2B, but as a PR seems no chance, so resorting to Queenstown or BTPS for 2C. Was just at last minute exploring 2B option.

I was also considering CHIJ Kellock for my daughter in 2B (PR > 2km), but can't really find a catholic boys school in the area. Any suggestions?

You need to look beyond Bukit Merah for Catholic Boys schools. Where do u stay? Must be prepared to travel. Why not Catholic Co-Ed schools? This will give u more options.

Refer to this list under primary schools to find the catholic schools http://accs.sg/directory/ or here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_education_in_Singapore#List_of_Educational_Institutes

SJIJ 100% no chance for PR in 2C. Maybe can consider BTPS in 2C

Below from MOE.
If your child is unsuccessful in Phase 2C Supplementary, they will be posted to a school with available vacancy. You will be informed of the outcome on the results announcement day through SMS.

[/quote]Ok I see your problem. If you are willing to consider SJIJ and CHIJ TP, then Canossa Catholic Primary School is within range based on distance alone. CHIJ Kellock is obviously close for your girl. De La salle was the option in the past for parents in your area until the school had to move far west.

Practical issues aside I feel if need be, your boy needs to travel for the sake of a education in a catholic school. In the long term, kids adjust and things that do matter are rarely are about how much time they spent on the road in my view. You can PM me for some further thoughts

[/quote]Seems a bit wasted to give up your 2B chance. There are some schools that are safe for PRs with affiliation to secondary schools.
