2011 P1 Registration Exercise for 2012 In-Take
-
dear Flower Power and Funz,
thank you so much to you two, for yr prompt sharing.
actually, this child is my daughter’s classmate in the kindergarten.
her case is quite … on the surface, it’s like she got so many good schools to go to, it is like … so near and yet so far …
i) she stay 1.8 km from SCGS…
not sure if can get in as PV bec SCGS very selective over PV, even though she will definitely apply.
ii) her father from ex-ACS. But child can’t enter ACS, bec child is girl.
iii) the mother studied at RGPS only one year, primary 1 in 1970s, but lost report card in the midst of shifting house in 1970s. Lost report card, lost primary 1 class photograph. Whatever she tried to retrieve / dig out … all lost ! Can’t trace back.
if she can produce report card even for 1 year Pri 1, also good. Then her child still can enter RGPS. As long as you ever study in that school before. Dont care how many years the kid study in the school before.
her parents transfered my friend out to another primary school when she was in Pri 2 … because they shifted house. Later, that primary school she transfered to closed down in 1990s.
iii) paternal grandmother studied in such a good school before, NYPS. But can’t enter, bec like what you say, grandparents can’t.
so sad … sigh!
now it all depends on … this child’s fate.
anyway, just want to highlight here imporant lesson learnt here…
plesase, please … do NOT lose your primary school report card, no matter what happens - shift house, etc. You never know how useful / important this report card is going to be. It will come in useful / handful / beneficial to yr child one day. -
I would say RGPS is the best bet as 1 year there should qualify.
Try call the school to check any other means to verify via school’s record or call MOE to see can get some records of the mother ever study that school. -

Try RGPS. The school may still have records of students from the 1970s.dear Flower Power and Funz,
thank you so much to you two, for yr prompt sharing... -
JonC, thank you so much for yr kind suggestion.
will definitely relay yr message to my friend - start seeking help from MOE side to dig out past records from 1970s history, also from RGPS side. Hopefully, they had archived all these past pupils’ names records. -
Thanks a million, jtoh !
all of you so sweet, kind and helpful !
my friend is blessed - with so much helpful support from all of you. -

Just chipping in 2 cents worth of thought.
-
JonC, even this 2 cents of thought is … important and precious.
much appreciated, with grateful thanks !
a note to all parents here.
=================
pls keep your child’s report card at all costs.
a) it is THAT important and THAT valuable / crucial, to yr grand children 30 yrs down the road later.
no amount of money can possibly get you back this report card, once you misplace it.
see, now my friend had to go through so much hassle and trouble … to approach MOE see if can dig out past 1970s records, got to approach RGPS school, as well. And whether can retrieve out or not, only time will tell. Can only try our best to retrieve !
all these hassle is not necessary … if only her parents had kept her report card carefully / properly.
b) second reason is … later, some parents here may have kids getting transfered to GEP schools later at Primary 4, if yr child is been offered by MOE to pursue GEP. This means your child will end up having 2 sets of report cards.
keep these 2 sets of reports cards carefully - the one BEFORE transfer to GEP school, and the other AFTER transfer to the GEP school.
30 yrs later … your grandchild can / will have the option to choose from either one of these primary schools to enter.
Then you will may have to rely on one of the report cards as evidence that your child has studied in that school before. Because the PSLE certificate will print out only the name of that school AFTER your child has been transfered to.
the one BEFORE transfer - you can only rely on report card as proof / evidence. -
WOW!!!
:udawoman:
My report book, useful some years back, is useless now, as no more kids going P1. Only if it can be sold. :lol: -
so long as your child ever transfer primary school before - whether transfer to GEP centre, or transfer to a Non GEP school, your child will end up with - 2 diiferent set of report cards.
both set will come in very useful / handy for yr grandchildren, 30 yrs later.
as of today … it is already so tough, so difficult to enter good primary schools. The competition is so intense, so keen!
although today is March, i am sure many of us can alraedy feel that the HEAT is on ! July registration time for Primary 1 is another 4 months down the road … akan datang.
30 yrs later, can’t imagine the scenario at Primary 1 registration time for our grandchild … so keep report cards, at all costs !
