2011 P1 Registration Exercise for 2012 In-Take

I would do what I think you're intending to do. Register at the school in 2A first. Then monitor the situation at the hotter school in 2C. If you're confident that you will be able to successfully register your kid in the second school without balloting, withdraw from the school at 2A and register at 2C. Bear in mind that a number of parents will probably have the same idea as you so there'll be an influx of registrations coming in at the last minute for Phase 2C. So you might end up with a balloting situation in the last few minutes.

haiz.. then i guess putting my kid is the nearby sch is more diffcult than striking 4D liao..... i got no problem with the sch which we are at P2A, just that the distance is far... worry it may 'waste' her time and energy.

What to do? All parents want to get their kids into the school that's popular and near their homes. Maybe this is your time to strike 4D?

Better to monitor the situation at the school itself. Some schools won't pick up the phone if you call, or the office people won't have the most updated info.

Yes, system is updated automatically. You have to personally withdraw from the school you registered at.

from what i know, u hv to cancel ur application with X sch first before u go on with the application for Y sch. cant be done on the same day as the registration dates for the phrases are different.


u hv to cancel with X sch during the registration period for phrase 2A2, then wait for phrase 2C for registration with Y sch.

any parent out there can confirm on this?

You are wrong.

Apply with School X during P2A. On the last day of P2C, if you decide to apply with School Y, cancel your application with School X first before you apply with School Y.

:thankyou: qms for the clarification.

i got a question. say P2C dates are from 27 -29 July. i go to the school on the 27 & monitor the situation first…


Point is how does the sch indicates the vacancies VS application? every hourly or daily? if let’s say by 28 @ 2pm, the sch indicate no more vacancy, then how?

when shd i decide to register?

For my case, P2C is southview, 2 blocks away and P2A is princess elizabeth which is at bukit batok.... princess starts at 11.50am, which means school bus will pick her up at about 10.30am...more than 1 hr leh...siao bo???

If no more vacancy and you decide to register there you'll know you're headed into a balloting situation. So it's up to you whether you want to take the risk of balloting or leaving and finding another school.

no more vacancy but they will still accept the regisration, it is not on first come first serve basis, end of the P2C dates, if # of applicant is more than vancany, then will have to ballot
