She just applied under Phase 3. It is not surprising that the school near her house could have already been filled up in P2C.

Want to share my experience on Phase 3 registration here, leaving some information for foreigner parents next year.


MOE announced vacancie at noon 29th Aug. Only 8 seats left in Seng Kang Primary.

30th Aug, I got up at 4am in the morning, arrived at main entrance (gate1) of Seng Kang Primary school around 5am. I saw a parent already sitting there (with his own stool). He told me he just arrived 10 min before.

5 min later I found there was a sign board at the gate saying \"please queue at gate2\". I walked around and found gate2, there were another 2 parents already waiting there. I called the parent at gate 1 and joined the queue at gate2 together. (Be careful, otherwise you came early without any result).

We voluntarily kept a piece of paper with sequential record of when we arrived. The first one came at 2am, secound around 2-3. By 6:10, all 8 vacancies are filled.

At 7:00 we were allowed to go inside the school and issued an official sequencial number by a teacher according to the sequencial we voluntarily kept.

Later there are some more parents came and was adviced to go to other places.

Phase 3 registration is a 1st come 1st serve??

meaning the 9th person whom arrive at the school @ eg 6am will not get a seat as there are 8 parents ahead of him/her??

Has anyone gone for parents volunteer interview before? Can anyone advise what questions will be ask and what preparation needs to be done? NCPS has called me for an interview, I’m happy and worry, it feels like going for a job interview.

Yes I did but mine was not at NCPS. Questions they asked included how u can contribute to the school, how u going to take time off if both parents are working (like in my case). And whether u can contribute beyond the minimum 40 hours after ur child gets a place etc. Also in some specific areas which they needed help, they asked whether we can do it etc...

Thanks for your reply, Luanee. I just hope that I can meet their requirements.
