Hi there,

I would like to register my son for St Stephen's Primary. I am baptised, and so is my son. However, we were baptised overseas and our baptism certificates are in a foreign language.

Any idea what document would be acceptable for registration under phase 2B

? Any parents from St Stephen's? Would love to know more about the school.
Thanks!

can you write an email to St Stephen primary school,
clarify whether

1)
school can accept your son's \" Certified copy, Translated \" version (in English) of your baptism certificate in original foreign language,
if u still intend to apply under Phase 2B, and

2) need to be certified, by whom ?

How does St Stephen primary school recognize whether the certifier is genuine or fake ? Clarify with them.


Here is St Stephen primary school email address -

(English, is the official language used in Singapore, for any original certificate in foreign language)

From my past experiences, translated documents for institutions/govt agencies etc must be certified at public notary offices. That said, I agree with Phtthp that it is best to call and email the school a copy of your baptism cert. If they were alright with the original foreign copy, you wouldn't have to bother with extra step of translating/certifying it.

Has anyone gotten their endorsements from church already for the upcoming P1 registration?

Hi, I am a newbie to this forum! Appreciate all the advice I can get.


We are planning to register my girl in 2022 for St Nicholas primary for P1 intake 2023 and we are within 1KM. I thought I was already kiasu when I when I called the school to check today, but they said I have missed the PV cut-off date which was last year!! O.M.G.

Now I am in a panic because i know how competitive it is to ballot at Phase 2C.

1) I was wondering if there are specific churches/ clans St Nick we can join to get into Phase 2B?
2) Does it actually matter how close we are within the 1km? eg. if we are 0.3km and someone else is 0.5km, then we get priority ahead in distance? Or do all 1KM folks get lumped into 1 category with no distance differentiation.

Thank you!

SNGS doesn't have a clan. Given that you asked, I'm assuming you are not a Catholic. Typically, it will take more than a year to be initiated and obtain a baptism certificate. Therefore, the only option left is Phase 2C.

< 1km means < 1km. No difference in balloting between someone living within 1m from the school or 999m from the school.

Thank you for your reply Floppy! Much appreciated :love: at least we can be prepared mentally[/quote]If you can get baptised by next year Easter, then you will qualify for 2B (provided you get your baptism cert before the registration date). You will need to find out which stage of RCIA they are at.

Any parents willing to share if phase 2B fail and didn’t get to the sch in 2C. Do we have to really take the sch that was allocated to? Any chance for re appeal?

After 2C ends and your child still does not have a place, you should register your child under phase 2CS. You get to pick the school (from the list of remaining schools with vacancies).

If you fail at 2CS (or forget to apply under 2CS), then MOE will allocate a school to you, since all SC and PR kids are guaranteed a place in a local school.

You can still waitlist at your desired school but no guarantees whether got any seat freed up for you or how long you need to wait (could be years).
