luvwatermelon:

I want to register my daughter as P1 for 2011 school year. Her father is a Singaporean citizen but I'm not and we are not married.. She's under PHASE 3 right?


Do we have to rent a house first before i register my daughter or I can use my relatives address for registration? Right now i'm staying with my relatives and i'm under a visit pass. Is it possible?

What will I do?

Really need your help!

Thanks!

If her father is certified as her legal father in her birth certificate, your daughter should be eligible for Phases before Phase 3, assuming he is still a Singaporean Citizen. Best to call up MOE to confirm.

Registration is based on the parents' or guardians' addresses in their NRICs which will be indicative of where the child will be mostly residing during Primary school.

I thought that depends on the citizenship of the daughter, and not of the parents.

What is the citizenship of your daughter, luvwatermelon?

[luvwatermelon]

my daughter is a filipino citizen, and her father has acknowledged her as his legal daughter… I think she still under Phase 3.


thanks guys!

Hi my girl was born in Aug 2005 may i know when isthe school registeration for year born in 2005?

I just wonder, for P1 registration exercise.. it is clearly defined, for Singaporean citizen and PR can register under phase 1 to 2C and foreigner is under phase 3.


How about for waiting list? Lets say our child has already got a place in a primary school, and we want to put him / her under waiting list at another school. Do Singaporean citizen, PR and foreigner have the same chances or priority? :?

I think wait lists are the perogative of the school. Principals would have the discretion to decide if a particular child's situation is more 'deserving' (eg parent had spent many hours volunteer, or if child has special talent in sports/other activities) or if they are going on a who come first basis. There is no hard and fast rule.

I agree with hquek. Waitlist and transfer of school is managed and decided by the receiving school.

allseasons,

If you wish to place your child under wait list at another school, it depends on the principal of that school. Supposing your child did very well in his/her exams or else have achieved a medal in some sports, then you can write in to the school to ask if you have any chance of getting in.

I missed the chance of doing that when my boy did well for his P2 results…it didn’t occur to me that it was a good opportunity to ask for a transfer to either SJI or ACS (impt thing is a school with an affiliated sec)
