2011 P1 Registration Exercise for 2012 In-Take

[pennit]

Well, it used to be until I read the forum and it seems that TP ranking seems quite low.

My girl also prefers a girls school so now I am getting increasingly confused as to what i shld do.

I think We stand a good chance for Katong convent as well. So I was thinking of trying for that but I really wonder if KC is really better than TP. If the two schools are almost equal, I may stick to TP since we live within one km from the school and my girl can hv a little more sleep. Sigh. Dilemma dilemma.

tankee:

1. Sure can get in. Is this your first choice since it is listed first?

5. Totally no chance. Very likely to be balloting within 1km.

Well, my boy's registering for P1 this year as well, & trying to pick where to go is giving me a headache...


First preference is Tao Nan, mainly because I want him in a chinese environment and it's convenient (the school is literally at my doorstep). But, I'll be going through the 2B route and the numbers from last year are quite discouraging.

My other options are Nanyang and Rosyth, where he would be able to qualify under 2A2 but with an increased traveling time (obviously).

Would the 'optimal'/'ksp.com-endorsed' solution be to register for Nanyang or Rosyth at 2A2 while monitoring the situation in Tao Nan? :lol:

Need some friendly advice for my DD who will be registering for P1 this year.


I am considering the following schools for her and will appreciate any comments u may hv:

1. Temasek Primary (hubby is old boy)
2. CHIJ KC (catholic and within 1-2km)
3. Ngee Ann Primary (within 1-2 km)
4. St. Anthony Canossian (within 1-2 km)
5. Tao Nan (SHHK member for 3-4 years but not active and not within 2 km)

Thank you all in advance.

Option 1: Guaranteed under Phase 2A1/2
Option 2: If you're Catholic, you will fall under 2B for CHIJ KC. Did you check the past 2 years if balloting is required for 1-2km ? It is an all girls' school.

Maybe u can register NYPS or Rosyth at P2A2 1st then monitor Tao Nan at P2B

You've done your homework well! That's pretty much what most of us would recommend doing.

But my preference would be to register at Rosyth since it is nearer to your home, no?

How is your girl settling into P1? Can't really believe time passed so quickly and it'll be my turn this time next year.


I was from IJ too, but sending her back there would be quite a distance from where we're staying.

Do you have a back-up plan for 'in case you dont get in MGS'? Pls plan for Plan B. Very impt!!

Hi Vicki,

We too have been thinking for the longest time what would happen if we had to ballot.

But I suppose we'd still try again at Phase 2C if we don't succeed at Phase 2B?

So keeping fingers crossed.

Hi Janet,


Yes, we're staying within 1km of MGS so will try again at Phase 2C if not successful at Phase 2B.

Hope you are successful getting in. My daughter's classmate from kindy had to ballot even staying within 1km.
Honestly, I'm thinking of writing to MGS to put my daughter on wait list...so much nearer home.
