2011 P1 Registration Exercise for 2012 In-Take

[pekkle]

hi there,


My DD is 5 years and will be enrolling for P1 in 2011.

Option 1 - Kuo Chuan (KCPPS)
Option 2 - River vally primary

Option 1 - Within 1-2Km

Option 2 - Her daddy is from River valley primary.

Would like to know about both these schools…

Which school should I opt for?

I wanted to try Pei Chun but it is out of 2km, and no PV. Think my chance of getting it is slim.

getting ready for the last preparations...my class 2B less than 1 km for MGS preparations are finally ready!

All the best spikey. MGS with her affiliation is an very smart choice. The things we'll do for our kids, if only they knew

Yup...sold the house in jul and moving to our new place soon. MGS will be within walking distance, a luxury that I never had when I was a kid. Son will go to ACPS one year later...which is 'down' the road. Saves a bit on the ridiculous school bus fees though...but more importantly, proximity gives them more to study! Haha.

So envious.

Nobody knows what P1 registration will be every year...take this year's registration for example, several schools had balloting which was not to be expected as 2004 has the lowest birth rate. But what happened is, there are many PRs and new Singaporeans (converted from PR).

yes actually stiff competition is coming from PRs and new Singaporeans

From what I understand, St Anthony Primary is affiliated to SJI (for boys).
If it still stands and you're ok to SJI, there is no prob.

i recommend moving within 1 km of acs...for a sure thing. i think there is little or no chance outside 2 km for acs. go to the kiasuparents homepage to check

kcpps and river valley are so far apart. are you willing to move near to RV?
within 1-2km of kcpps probably needs balloting based on past years pattern.

me too.. my girl .. will start P1 in 2012


I'm doing PV in 2 school
Compassvale ...still have half and a hour to complete
Rivervale ---- total 8.5 hours still short of 22.5 and one project.

Very stress...

can you tell me how doing PV at 2 schools works? We can only register in 1 school at each time right? so you'll be under phase 2B for each school and can only register your child for 1 school ?

You are right! You can only register with one school at any point in time.

However, if you PV for two schools, you actually have more flexibility in choosing which school to register with. If you feel your child has a higher chance of getting into School A vs School B, you will be able to register with School A, since you are a PV of both schools. Subsequently, before P2B ends, if you think you want to switch to School B, you only need to withdraw your application with School A and apply with School B. For parents who are PV in one school only, there is no such flexibility.
