Hi mamemo,

Hi marmum,

Just noticed that the orientation for Pei Chun is on 29th Dec. Any idea when we would be informed on purchase or books and uniform? So what's next after being admitted to the school for P1?

email from Mr Koh..(I received the email cos my DS was confirmed a place at 2A1)

Hi tine28,


Dont give up, you should put yr child’s name on Pei Chun wait list. Heard that during the last week of 2009, there were 10+ vacancies 1eft and the school called up those on the wait list and asked if they were still interested. Some parents had bought textbooks n uniforms for the school that accepted their children in the P2CSupp and thus did not take up the offer. You should give it a try.

My son failed in the P2C ballot many years ago. We did not put our son on the waitlist as we didnt think that we would stand a chance. And naturally, there were no calls to ask if we were still interested.

Soon, we were tired of the travelling to his school which was further away from our house as compared to PC. So when it came to my younger daughter’s turn to register for P1, we applied to transfer our son to PC which was nearer to our house. We were interviewed by the kind new principal on 23dec, notified on 26 dec that my son was accepted for transfer and we did not mind the late rush for textbooks and uniforms. Better later than never! In turn, we could registered our daughter in P2A1 and did not have to go through P2C balloting for our daughter.

This was when we realised that PC would usually consolidate their vancancies for all levels and conduct interview / calls to those on waitlist in late Dec.

So, give it a try. It may be a long wait, but at least you have another chance at the end of the year. You may then consider and decide again. best wishes!
