qms:

Please refer to the http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/faqs/#statutory-declaration.

I know of this site but the date is not out yet.

The answer to your question is directly in the link that qms provided. This is directly copied from there:

\"For the purpose of registration, both the child’s grandparent or parent’s sibling and one of the child’s parents are required to make a statutory declaration at the MOE Customer Service Centre. The statutory declaration can be made from 8 am to 4 pm, Mondays to Fridays and from 8 am to 12 noon on Saturdays, from Tuesday, 6 July 2010 to Wednesday, 18 August 2010.\"

How do we compute the probability of getting a place through ballot? Thought I have read it somewhere in the forum before...please englighten me :oops:

If you are referring to the balloting history, I simply look for colours (or lack thereof). No colours for many years mean should be quite safe (except unless that school moved to a new facility, or that school produced many good results in the past year).

There are too many things that can change to fully rely on past data (birth rate, popularity, number of siblings who are enrolling this year).

During the registration, i think it best to check with the school at end of day 1 to understand what the situation is like - am quite sure they should be aware of how many parents in less than 1km, 1-2km etc.

I'm also quaking in my shoes...but good luck to all of us!

Hi qms,

Thanks for your assurance.
The logistics part will be tough with both in different schools, but in same session. But for the sake of having an affiliated secondary school, I guess it is worth it.

Hi all,


Not sure whether it’s ok to post here…

I’m trying to choose between two schools-
1>Nan Hua Primary
2>Henry Park Primary

I think both are good schools, home-school distance abt the same, both eligible for registration in Phase 2A…

Tough decision, so really appreciate any advice from all…
Thanks

Hi Mum_2Gals,

If I were you, I would choose Nan Hua Primary.

Honestly, both ARE good and popular schools. It's a pleasant dilemma for you to be under 2A in both instances.

A lot of parents will thank you if you opt for HPPS cos I gather it's much harder to get into Nan Hua these days. I recall last year's stats - NH was much tougher to get in compared with Nanyang P Sch.

It's really your own call as to where you want your kids to be in - the school culture, the environment, logistics. Some other factors to consider - available ECAs/other programmes, school strength/niche areas.

Both are good schools and they are GEP schools too. I just have a feeling Nan Hua is stronger in Chinese and Henry Park is stronger in English. If I were you i won't feel stressful at all since you are eligible for 2A.

For my case last time, i have to pray so hard that there are less applicants than the vacancies in 2B so that there won't be balloting.

Hi hquek,

Yes, It is a \"pleasant dilemma\" but still a difficult decision :oops: Actually I have 3 choices for phase 2A cos my sec sch is a full sch, so also eligible for the primary section. :oops:

You're right. will try to know more abt the schools first, didn't consider CCAs and other programmes...........thanks

Hi KSP,

that's partly why I'm undecided now. I know Nan Hua is strong in Chinese and Henry Park is strong in English...., but I'm not sure abt the standard of English in Nan Hua or the standard of Chinese in Henry Park...

Which school is more \"bilingual\"???

I'm stressed cos not sure which school to choose.... :oops: :oops:
