2011 P1 Registration Exercise for 2012 In-Take

[monsterbaby]

Hi All


I'm very new to this forum....very interesting and informative. Was trying to search for a thread on a good boys school (primary) in the east area...but can't seem to find one.

Anyone kind enough to point me the direction?

Also, thumbs up to the moderator and thread starter for this 2012 intake...!

Anyone knows… If I’m JUST TWO BLOCKS AWAY from the 2km mark, where does tat put me? do they really go strictly by the SLA maps?

Yes.

There shouldn't be any room for \"negotiation\". Imagine those who stay one block away from the 2 km mark. What does it mean? :scratchhead:

Hi Cherlyn81_77, the two best \"official\" sources for finding out the distance between your home and the school are SLA's OneMap service: http://www.onemap.sg/index.html and the school itself.

What you get from these two sources is final and non-negotiable.

Some schools would arrange the PV duties to start from Jan 2011, so maybe the school did not call you.

Hi ! I am currently staying within 1km of SJI and ACS Junior and qualified under phase 2B for the 2011 registeration for both school. Therefore, I am in a dilemma now, can anybody advice which one is a better school ? Some of my friends had commented that SJI school is quite chaotic and the teachers are quite relaxed (bo chup). Is that true ? On the other hand, I am concerned about the "rich" kids class in ACS Junior, do not want to have unnecessary peer/parent pressure.

qualified for 2B for both ? one parent is Catholic and the other is Methodist ? or one is old boy of either school and a church member of the other church....talking about choices ...

aiyo, quite tough choices huh ? toss a coin .... ok jokes aside, may be u want to browse the discussion thread of the two respective schools?

Just my own personal views, these 2 schools really like '有钱人的学校“
Maybe could be due to the location of the school are located mainly in landed property area.

Had heard in the past that the child ask the parent do not come pick him up if the parent is driving Korean or Japanese unless they drive germany makes like BMW or Benz 7000, 9000 series . There could be really the peer pressure.

If time permit, you may perform PV & have a better feel of the school to determine your decision process.

Hi Citigirl,Cherlyn
Tink the best source is still from the school. This map, shows how the way by road, tink they dun measured such way. I've tried using the other online map, is within 1km, however, when register for PV, they check our block is beyond 1km. So is best to check with the school.
