My kids' doc prepare a vaccination cert for each of them & is attached in the health booklet.

I don't have that. Hopefully the vaccination record in the health booklet will be enough...

It depends on school itself. I d/l from NIR site itself but the school called me up to remind us to bring the health booklet instead.

Hi Lizzy,

My SIL’s daughter is in St Nicks. Stressful man…she’s taking normal Chinese at P5.

My son will be in P5 next year…most prob will let him drop HCL since it’s already demanding now and with a packed year preparing for P6, no point spending too much time on 1 subject.

Since my daughter is taking CL tuition, I feel that she should be doing better than average and not just pass the subject. BTW, she is going to P1 next year in IJ TP.

wah, dun frighten me leh...I also targetting MS, although we have registered for SJIJ 2A2...sigh...why why why?

Hello smurf,

So, are you pulling out to join in the balloting at MS? *tough decision* i feel! :?

thinking of...cos we are neaer to MS...SJIJ is a bit further away...I'm speculating the sch bus will take about 1 hr to and 1 hr back...by the time the boy come back, he will be too tired for anything.:(

Lizzyho:

vicki, for the vaccination cert, did you submit the doctor's copy or the print-off from MOH?

I had both with me but they said they prepared the one printed from the website.

bigfoot - if you still have time tomorrow, print a copy from the website. application processing will be faster i think.

Good luck! But yah! Think you better have a backup plan of wat if you need to go Phase 2C in instance of unsuccessful balloting!!

I kindof planned mine liao! Just hoping the schools near my hse dont get too 'popular' in 2B! I really hate the tot of balloting <1km for a school in Phase 2C!!!

[smurf]

nobody wants balloting…except the sch (to show that they are popular)…if need to ballot, maybe just stick to SJIJ lor…it’s quite a good sch…

Something bo-liao.


Whilst waiting for the lady at MS to key in my details to the system - i notice the words - iMAC - on the back of the computer staring back at me!!

Hmm --- so my son will become an \"Apple\" fan? :?

I was telling my husband that if MHS goes into balloting, I can visualise the management’s Annual Appraisal Forms having this sentence "Successfully raised the standard and profile of the school and attracted __ number of applicants during the primary school registration exercise. x% oversubscribed."

The safest option is to avoid balloting. Even if need to balloting, choose the one with the better odds. At this point, I believe MS will most likely enter balloting for 2B for those more than 2 km. I am hoping for a miracle that it won't happen. Then I can have a more enjoyable weekends.
