2010 P1 Registration Exercise for 2011 In-Take

[pandafam]

Don’t understand why some schools increased no. of vacancies when all schools are to be single session in 2016? I think my ds1 has no luck to get into South View :~(

Yes, from what I heard, some schools will be cutting classes to meet the 2016 deadline of single session. Parents with young children not due for P1 registration yet will have a tougher time getting their kids into their school of choice by then.

Hi,


I have a daughter who will be registering for P1 later next month. Unfortunately, her registration will fall under P2C. I live within 2km of CHIJ Toa Payoh, St Margarets Primary and Hong Wen Primary. Which would you recommend if the places available are about the same?

Thanks in advance to those who can value add to this nagging question.

I would think along these lines first. CHIJ TP is a Catholic school, St Margaret's is Anglican and Hong Wen is secular. Is a religion based school important to you and your family?

Secondly, do you have a boy or a girl after this girl? If the sibling is another girl, then either CHIJ TP or SMP are both good choices, but I think your answer to Q1 would have to be answered first before you make a decision.

However, if the sibling is a boy, then perhaps HW might be a better idea since it would save you some headache when the time comes for registration of P1.

Lastly, HW is a SAP school. Are you okay with that?

Hi all,


There’s 2 dates that we need to register our kid under certain phase rite? Does it matter if we register earlier or later? For eg, under Phase 2B, the registration date is 22 and 23 Jul. Does it affect my chance if I only register on 23 Jul?

TIA!!!

Places in schools are not allocated based on who registers first. Hence, it doesn't matter which day you register.

Woohoo good luck! I remembered both DH and me took leave on that fateful day 2 years ago too, but ended up we only spent less than 5 minutes to submit the form. So we went to catch a movie after that

hi All...


Long time never login le...tot still got a long way ..suddenly today login n checked ...wow din noe tat they have reduced intake....

No no...tot i live within 1km should have the chance but now kind of risky liao...

Tks a lot KSP...must do some homework now liao....
Any mummies can adv ...JUZ in case if i can't get the sch near my hse...how do i proceed from there?

I assume you were referring to not getting a place after balloting under phase 2C (touch wood) ? What u can do now is to plan for plan B just in case. Look around past history to see which schools near ur place still have places available under 2C (supp) and check up which one is the best alternative for ur child...
