[Can anyone enlighten me as to why CHIJ katong primary is not under the marine parade category and instead at Bedok?


Isn't it located at marine parade?

does it really matter which category it is under? :?

just happen someone in MOE decided to draw the line using marine parade road as the separator between Marine Parade and Bedok.

oh.. i see. just puzzled. Forgive me ignorant.

agreed. i feel so immobile in that area now......so congested

i wonder how these parents feel now when at initial thots of buying these hses there at hefty prices,
hoping to get into TNS but in the end still need to ballot.

:idea: Sell the house to next group of parents aiming for TNS and make a decent profit.

hehehe, so it pays to be KS and visit KSPforum in order not to be the \"next victim\"

probably at that time, CHIJ katong had moved to bedok when undergoing PRIME, only back to its \"original location\" last yr.......

Have the following qns hope you can help.


1. What to bring for the school registration? Child’s birth cert, parents IC and the immunization letter, that’s all right?

2. Would MOE know you apply to more than 1 sch on the same day? What would they do to your applications? any idea?

3. If TUR is more than vacancies, would you be inform by phone to go down for the balloting ? understand for TNS, the result of application is 13 Aug. Does that mean the ballot will be on 13 Aug?

how to manage better? introduce a new distance category of < 500m? :?

That should be all unless you are using the grandparents' address for registration. The best is to check through MOE's website:
http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/required-documents/
[quote]2. Would MOE know you apply to more than 1 sch on the same day? What would they do to your applications? any idea?[/quote]The registration process is computerised and online. You will not be allowed to register at another school without first withdrawing from the school you had already registered in.

Does that mean the ballot will be on 13 Aug?[/quote]You mean the APP is more than vancancies. TUR (take up rate) is at most 100%. The school will inform you should you require balloting. 13 Aug is the result for 2C for all schools, not just TNS. While the school can choose to ballot on an earlier date, so far it seems most will ballot on the result release day.

Just came back from a super stressful 2B balloting at TNS!! Actually, the atmosphere wasnt as bad as i expected. It was quite friendly and normal. None of those dagger stares that i was expecting. Maybe the pricipal and all the staff made the process very smooth and user friendly.


I was expecting the confusion to happen when the name of a child was called twice (since this time round, there are 2 ballot slips for singapore citizens and one for PR) but surprisingly, there was a system in place for this and someone was keeping tab. A bell would ring when a name was called for the second time, hence allowing the parent drawing the slip to draw again! It was all very structured and systematic. Kudos to all the staff who made it seem like they’ve done this forever!

One thing to note is that TNS website stated 3 PR applicants but in the balloting, there were 4…anyway…

Congrats to all those who got places in this phase!
For those who didnt, good luck in 2C wherever you are going to register!

i think phase 2C will be as drama as phase 2b for TNS.
