2019 P1 Registration Exercise for 2020 In-take

[valsupm]

Got into Fernvale Primary!


For many of you eyeing the popular schools, this is ‘ok’ news; but for me it is ‘special’.

We are relatively new to SG, received PR in July this year, just-in-time! We were new to P1 registration process and anxious to secure place in local school!

The MoE website provides all information objectively, but thanks to this forum, that we gain the real help and insights. Out friend circle in SG is limited and we don’t have any elderly or relatives to guide us. It is only this forum that helped us a lot to plan our moves and take decisions.

Here I got the mantra – as PR do not waste 2C chance!

The historical balloting records and similar analysis from experts was extremely useful.

Special thanks to Davischew, Floppy, Zac’s_mum, Lexy for the detailed analysis and truthful posts with ‘authority’. You are true source of guidance and kindness for parents like me!

These are my heartfelt thanks to all in this forum! Wishing good luck to all parents! Cheers!

Nice that your child got into the school and the family is happy!

Dear all kiasuparents users,

any recommended school in Sengkang for phase 2C supplementary? Currently left the following school for P2CS:

- Sengkang Primary - 52 students registered
- Northspring Primary - 56 students registered
- North Vista - 56 students registered
- Palm View - 97 students registered
- Anchor Green - 66 students registered

We are staying in Compassvale road and we just informed by MOE today that my kid’s P1 registration is unsuccessful. So just want to check with all the kiasuparents users to see the above primary school which is the best option.

Are you stay within 1km away from these schools? Try those within 1km so got higher chance without ballot.

Yes, within 1km. But I am Malaysia PR. If balloting i sure don't have chance.

Then u pick the school that has the highest number of vacancies (could be Palm View or even Valour). Won’t go into balloting.

From the list I like Palm View due to its relatively new school building / facilities. However as there is a large development announced nearby I'm concerned about dust and noise issues from the construction. There should most likely be a sound / dust barrier erected before construction begins, which should make it less of an issue.

Another important factor is your distance to the schools. Every 5 minutes saved is 5 extra minutes of sleep/ breakfast time every day.

Thanks mburgg77. Is there any chance for my kid to go back Compassvale Primary school when P2 as the Compassvale Primary school is only located in front of my block. Very sad that my kid can't get in as we are PR.

Thanks for your info. Refer to the MOE website, currently there have about 121 vacancies for Seng Kang Primary and 78 vacancies for North Spring Primary school. If like this case if i registered either 1 we still got chance for balloting? If balloting for P2CS, we PR totally don't have chance right?

If i were u i will monitor till 14 Aug, then register the nearest school with the higher balance vacancies. Probably Sengkang Primarily, which is not too far from Compassvale area.

Thanks for your advice. My kid was registered on the day 1 of the registration and the school didn't tell us about the balloting. We only found out the SC balloting on 2/8/2019.

Any student care
