2009 P1 Registration Exercise for 2010 In-Take

[hotfudgesoda]

Hi all,

I am currently staying within 1km of Beacon School.
It seems that this school is getting to be very popular.
One of the main reasons for choosing this school is that my kid can walk to school by the park connector.

hi newbie hotfudgesoda,
in the next few months will be very exciting for you.
since you are here with your first post (ie without starting any new topic), I would like to direct you to -
1. http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3311 is a die-die-must-read for you if you don't have Phase 1 or 2 privileges.
2. you can refer to http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=486&start=0for beacon's discussion too.
if i am staying with 1km of Beacon (ie if I am successful in my HDB balloting given my lousy number), I will surely go pv in Beacon if I intend to choose its 'IT' curriculum over the tried-and-tested Greenridge's curriculum. But since PV may be too late for you right now, it is best that you select a Choice B school if you intend to monitor up to phase 2C's 2nd day registration before deciding, or go ahead and try your luck at Beacon.
Personally, I find all the schools at Bukit Panjang to be pretty decent (most of which offered a wide range of decent CCAs).
Good luck.

Hi,

I am living overseas and will be registering via internet for Phase 2B.
Is there any one who has done this before?
I am concern abt meeting the submission dates and required documentation.
Thanks in advance for advice.

Hi hotfudgesoda,


Yes, looks like Beacon is going to be popular. My kids will also be going there next year. So where in BP are you?

Anyone know the vacancies available for respective Primary Schools? Is it average of 300 places in every school starting from Phase 1.

depend on individual school, some is 320, some is 240... it will be updated in the MOE website

Maybe top management of MOE would have such information I guess. Various vancies is set by MOE& release until the last minute?

You can use last year's numbers as a guide I guess..

Those schools which are still having double sessions will most likely reduce their number of P1 intakes as they have to work towards single session by 2015 or 16.

Sometimes, they may also open up another class (like in my DD’s case) but I think it is primarily to reduce the number of students per class.
