Hi everyone


This topic has understandably been quiet. I guess parents have attended or will be attending the orientation and also at various stages of preparing for P1 next year. I would like to throw up for discussion whether any one who has put their kid on the waiting list for another primary school has any success with getting a spot at P1 for 2020.

Hoping parents out there can share if anyone is still reading this topic.

Every year after P1 registration, there will be people who put their kids on waiting list. Some will be successful, some will not. A round of musical chairs would probably have already happened and if you didn’t get it, would have to wait till after reporting or when school reopens.

From what some parents have shared in previous years, they didn’t get call up by the school until as late as after Christmas. In one of those few working days before the Jan school term starts.


If you are still harboring hopes of being called up & offered a place, (i) answer every single call from an unknown number, even if you’re on overseas holiday (ii) don’t buy any uniforms or textbooks yet. Or buy first and then try to sell them off later.

Let child attend the Orientation first. Who knows, you may both end up liking the school.

If eventually offered a place in your waitlist school (if ever), school may or may not provide a short tour to orientate the child to the new classroom etc. Child will mostly have to integrate on his/her own, without parent.

For those with kids who are anxious about their first day of school, you may want to watch this You Tube video with them. MOE has come up with this as a preview to show the kids what their first week in primary school could be like:

It’s a special 360 interactive video, you can touch and manipulate the screen to view the surrounding environment of some scenes.
