hi all


I am new here… still v blur abt primary registration… hope to learn more from this forum
My elder gal… born in yr 2006, so she wil enrol in primary sch in yr 2013. Then when do I need to do PV? When should i call and find out from the sch?
Let’s say if i do PV for this sch which is 1 to 2 km of my place, does that mean i will hv chance for balloting under the less than 1km phrase?
Stil not sure abt the 2a,b or c thingy. kekeke…

:welcome: to KSP.com. Perhaps you would like to introduce yourself at the Newbie thread so that we can give you a formal welcome? This is a SOP in KSP.com, btw.

To understand the P1 registration better, perhaps you would like to start by reading the following thread:

Welcome! If your DD is born 2006, do note that her enrolment is in 2012. 2013 is the year she starts P1.

If you wish to be a PV, you need to start cracking now. For some schools, it is too late already but for others, you might just make it. Essentially, you'll need to get accepted into the PV program and then clock 40-80hrs (depending on school) in the year before registration in July 2012.

If you succeed in getting accepted and clocking the hours, you are eligible to register in Phase 2B, together with church/clan associations and community leaders. All who qualify in this phase will then be allocated places in the school according to the distance they live from the school. Eg. all who live within 1km, then all who are between 1-2km and finally, all outside 2km. Balloting occurs when applicants outnumber places within each distance category.

You can read about the phases here: http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/phases/
And check out the schools' balloting history here: http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/singapore-primary-1-registration-school-balloting-history

Good luck!

0V - PV? Typo error? :scratchhead:

Replied in 10 min also full - he received school's e-mail and responded within 10 minutes. However, school replied that it had enough PVs? :scratchhead:

My guess is 'OV' is typo error. He meant to say PV. But the 2nd part of the question is really :? qms is really quick witted and able to fully understand Singapore English.
