At the Rate the School is Charging for CCA Co-Payment (increasing Every Year - From $150 to $200 to $250 to $300 NOW!),
Modular CCA/Compulsory Enrichment, etc ....
My Gal's Acc is Always at the Not Sufficient End ....

Wait till ds joins equestrian. I think one term of equestrian can already burst the whole budget for the next 6 yrs of edusave.

My boy came back telling me sth on horse riding lessons: not a CCA, once joined cannot back off, injuries is your own biz. His conclusion: so lousy, cant claim for injuires :lol:

My elder boy did not join any paying CCA, his edusave fund acct is a little golden nest (judged by a kid's std)

Thanks for the clear explanation again E3. Goes to show that I'm actually very blur when it comes to anything financial in nature. Anyway, glad I don't have to fork out any money this time round.

No worries. I was also just as blur when dd was in P1. It was via this forum that I got to know about the phone number to inquire about the balance so now I \"pay it forward\" by sharing with you. hehe. As for the links, just a quick search on the web.

Hi Mummies/Daddies,

Son came home with a form to authorise school to deduct for some supplementary/enrichment and modular CCA fund…including a 3D2N camp. Can any mummy or daddy with P6 child advise where will the camp be ? Thanks.

Hi Parents,

Is it true that priority is now given to those staying more than 2km away ? Also balloting is required even for those staying within 1km for 2C ?

Thought the amount left over from Baby Bonus will be transferred to Edusave...strangely my daughter only has $200 in the account from MOE.

Don't think so, it will still be within 1 km then within 2km then >2km.
As for balloting, those staying with 1km > within 2km > more than 2km.
It also depends on the cohort.
In 2009, within 1 km - do not need to ballot and those between 1-2km need to. More than 2km .. no chance liao.
Last year, within 1 km ballot and 1km and beyond all no chance.
Last year was partly due to the fact that PH (or MOE?) cut down the no of classes from 12 to 11.

So the proximity thing still remains...in line with MOE.
Last year (04 kids), balloting within 1km.
Wonder if this year (05 kids) will have another cut in class.

I don't recall reading about any changes to the P1 registration process... any reason why the sudden question? Think it should still be the same, alot depends on cohort. Just like last year there was alot of sign ups for Phase 1.
