*** READ ME FIRST !!! - P1 Registration FAQ ***

Bells:

I will be registering my son for P1 in school A under phase 2A2 which should guarantee a place. If subsequently i want to take a risk & ballot for school B under phase 2B >2km, how would be withdrawal & registration process be?


I was thinking that I would wait till the afternoon of the 2nd day of 2B registration and if the numbers look ok, my husband will do the withdrawal at school A and then I will do the registration at school B. This is assuming that the system is online & does not need time to process the withdrawal before allowing registration.

Yes, system is online and real time. Hence, you need to withdraw from School A before your application with School B will be accepted.

Bells:

I read in someone's post that simultaneous withdrawal/registration not possible because we do not have 2 sets of original documents.... I thought school A would only take copies of our ic, child's health booklet,etc. They don't retain the original documents right?

You don't need original documents to withdraw from School A. Only when you are applying do you need original documents.

hi all,


am interested in placing my girl in haig girls…
I called up the school to have a gauge of my chances in phase 2C…
and she was diplomatic in saying that the results will be out in june/july.
could anyone clue me in on my chances or should i give up?
please help…

hi wimdils,


did you look at the past balloting history in KSP? it gives a fair gauge - but note, things do change from year to year. Number of kids with siblings coming in, alumni/old girls, PV, grassroots - all these will affect the final outcome. In fact, if the admin staff tell you a figure, she’s definitely bluffing you.

hi,

ya… i did… ,it’s like 91% filled in phase 2c and there was a chance for 2c supp. (correct me if i m wrong)-and that’s why I am on tenterhooks to risk my chances in Haig Girls in Phase 2C. i live beyond 2 km…

Hi wimdils,


If there is a chance for 2C Supp, this means those beyond 2Km should be able to get in during 2C. A good sign really.

I’ve got a dilemma…


I’m currently staying at address A which is 1km to school A and I have another property at address B which is 1km to school B. Depending on the balloting chances, I would like to have the flexibility of applying for either school A or B at phase 2C. I can move to property B should my child gets enrolled in school B.

How do I keep the flexibility of applying for either schools??? Just change 1 parent’s I/C?
