Last time, got parents last minute rushed down quickly, take taxi to withdraw from an earlier phase 2A and then re-apply under Phase 2C, around late afternoon 3.30 pm towards 4.30 pm closing time, on the last day of Phase 2C
Like what government have been emphasizing. This is the new normal.[/quote]zac's mum\" post_id=\"1976861\" time=\"1589949981\" user_id=\"53606:[quote=\"zac's mum\" post_id=1976861 time=1589949981 user_id=53606]Bear in mind that this year P1 registration is within the Covid phase 1/2 stage.
We do not know if MOE will allow parents to walk in to register in person. Who know, they might move all to online registration?
If that happens, then there will be no more chance to linger & monitor on-site, ask staff for updates etc. Maybe withdrawals will be permitted in person on case by case basis. But be prepared for long long Qs to enter school compound if need to scan QR code/IC blah blah.
This year, don't think can practise last minute anymore, because long queue & social distancing enforced. -

It would still be possible but MUST cater lots of extra time for the procedures.

Possible but not worth the risk anymore. like when do u register and withdraw? i think for those parents intending to do this, some may miss the cut off and wasted their 2B and 2C chance.

Imagine if the popular school next door suddenly has an available guaranteed slot or a mouthwatering odds of success like 9 in 10, why would the risk be not worth it?

As long as one understands the risk, provide enough time (like before lunch on the last day), and not wait till the last few hours to make a move, don't think there will be much to worry about. -
HI. I would like to seek some advice. My boy is in phase 1 (sibling) registration. But I’m not really keen in registering him In de same sch as de sister bcos is within 1-2km & don’t have the cca dat my boy wants. So intend to register in another sch(nearer to my hm within 1km) & of cos it’s phase 2C. I’m confused cos if both in 2 different sch, it wud be inconvenient? The sch which I’m gonna register is not popular but there were balloting b4! Sumx I feel lik I want both of them to be in same sch but at de same time, cca & etc isnt wad he wants in the sis sch ! I’m confused. Any advise ?

Different schools aren’t a major concern if the two siblings age group are big, such as sis in P5 or P6 next year, since a) the older one can take care of herself and b) it’s just an inconvenience for 1 or 2 years. There are also many who have children in different schools (boys and girls school, or popular and unpopular school) when the children age gap is close. That said, you had to examine your own circumstances and decide whether it is something that you can manage. If you can’t manage it logistically, then having them in different schools is a bad ideal.

Given that your eldest is already in a primary school, you should be aware that CCA in primary school works on a basis of being selected for it. Unless you are supremely confident that your son will be chosen, I don’t think choosing a school for a particular CCA is a wise choice. Furthermore, kids interests change faster than they change clothes. How sure are you that your son would still be interested in the same CCA at P3? -

(long time ago, during a particular phase)
no risk no reward. -
Won’t we usually follow the child interest for choosing a sch ? Wen I Tok to my son about it he agreed to be in a different sch of his choice. Both are not popular sch. The distance is far for my gal sch wer my son chosen sch is the nearest. Eldest will be P3 next year so… ya… But if we reject the sibling phase & apply in phase 2C & if nvr get, we can’t apply to de sis sch ryte even if there is vacancy aft all phases ?
