\"THE current Primary 1 registration process will not be changed to give higher priority to children living very near to their school of choice - even if they live right across the street from it.\"

Thanks for the info. Haven't read today's papers yet. But it's so sad and stressed to read this. I had my fears when I registered my son back then...hoping there is a phase for those living within 500m.

LPPL... Just wait n see lor... next time population density gets higher... more births (though not local SG)... single session schs... Then I'll see how the schs can accomodate those <1KM.

Daddy D,

Govt said not enough babies to replace us, so take in PRs and convert some to SCs. Now enough people, so limit PR application. Already PRs and new SCs are giving born-and-bred Singaporeans like us harder access into nearby schools. What’s next ?

Given a ‘hot’ year for P1 registration like 2006, hubby & I were so relieved (very worried then) when son got into Pei Hwa (staying within 1km) but can you imagine those registering in 2012 ?

Hi there,


I hope I am posing this query in the right thread.

I was reading through the various phases of registration and under 2A2, I came across this:

b) For a child whose parent is a staff member of the School of choice.


Out of curiosity, would appreciate if anyone can advise whether is/are there any condition(s) to be met? ie must the staff be working for a certain number of years before registering the child under this phase?

Not that I know of. My son's tutor is presently serving her bond after NIE and she just registered her daughter in the school she's teaching in. She didn't even need to produce any documentation when registering her daughter. However, you may want to check with your school admin for confirmation.

Okie, thanks for the clarification janet_lee88

No prob...just hope I didn't give you wrong info. It so happens my son's tutor registered daughter this year.

Thinking of which school to teach at to gain that priority? :evil:

Okie, a hypothetical scenario:


Any constructive input on this would be much appreciated.

If the parent is posted to work in the school of choice, in the midst of PV or after completing the PV, what then?

1) Does the parent have to continue with PV (if haven't clocked in the no of hrs) as well as work in the school?

2) Can the parent have a choice to do both PV and work in the school to better his/her chances of registering the child?

3) Does that mean that the parent can apply under phase 2B (if no of hours already successfully clocked in) assuming if phase 2A2 is unsuccessful??
