2009 P1 Registration Exercise for 2010 In-Take

[Aquamarine]

I think some HDB and condos there are still quite ok. But must find those better facing units…

hmm...Maris Stella very near to crematorium leh,and we are considering that sch, cos catholic high is way too hard to get in...i heard that boys who study in Maris Stella have to walk across the crematorium in order to get to the sch??? :?

We have went to view flats for 44+ series in Sin Ming. The corridoors/lift landings are very dark even in the day time. The feeling is not good. As for the condos, if it’s not too near to HDB (HDB units overlooking the pool) then it’s too many units (756units). So we are looking at Bishan instead now.

Heard that ECA in P1 & P2 have to pay extra $$? May I know is it all schools have what sort of modular ECA?

[KingRascal]

Think it’s rather common in most schools I heard of. In my son’s school, they extended an hour on a Monday. Different types of activities, ranging from art and music, leadership and lifeskills, to sports, are planned for the pupils from varying levels. The range of activities would be rotated by term. And yes, we have to pay $30 for the programmes, to be deducted from the edusave account.

Hi QMS!


Sorry for late reply, been busy with work.

I really don't have much choice at the moment as all schools are closed for the school holidays. I suppose I will go around to different schools to survey the environment when schools reopen.

Does anyone know how long (time frame) I should be living within 1km range before I enrol my child to the Primary School of my choice? :? Of course, that does not guarantee that my child will get a place in that school.

Too many confusing rules for this newbie to the education system. :? :? :?

hi

you may want to refer to this thread for your answer

fundamentally, it should be the address that you are or will be staying when your child is in primary school.

there is no requirement of min stay period prior to registration.

Oh I thought ECA is FOC like in my old school days.
Ha.ha so modular ECA have to pay our own pocket but good to hear that from Edusave.

Hi tankee,


Thanks for info!

If I am not wrong, you have a child ready for enrolment into P1 in year 2011 right? I have one too.

Has anyone any advise about St. Margaret Girls’ School? Heard some negative reports about the school after my long absence (24 years) from Singapore.

Also considering CHIJ Kellock, any comments anyone?

[tankee]

No problem.


Yes, I have a boy who is going P1 next year, and will be enrolling him under phase 2B in 2 weeks’ time.

Good luck in your "school hunt"
