All About Getting Priority Registration

[Carebearz]

If I studied at the secondary school, can my child have priority during the registration for the primary school?

For example, if I studied at ACS Secondary but didn’t study at the primary school, would I be considered under the phrase 2A2?

Thanks.

No. You need to be from the primary school

I was just wondering… Is there any priority for the child if the grandparent is from that particular school? Or only for the parents?

Nope. Priority for the child is applicable only if either parent was former student.

Hi,


My hubby was from Maris Stella Primary previously.
However, it’s a boys school, but the problem is my elder child is a girl.

what are my options ? can I gain priority for other primary school, e.g: Pei Hwa Presb, Nanyang Pri, MGS ??
Please advise.

Actually, it depends on schools. Some schools will allow that if you pay to join their alumni. You need to contact the school to find out. I know an ex-classmate (who joined the school in Secondary only) and she managed to get into alumni and managed to get her gal a priority registration for the same affiliated primary school. Better to enquire from the school.

Are you in any way affiliated to any of these schools you mentioned - old gal? PV? grassroot? If you are asking if they will offer priority based on your hubby being old boy from Maris Stella, the answer is no as there is no affiliation.

No affiliations..

alternatively, I'm thinking to move house...

I'm from South View Pri....

Another option for me is to enrol my girl for South View, and my younger son would enrol for Maris Stella...

Sometimes moving house does not guaranteed a place in the popular school either, as within 1km, the ballot success rate can also be quite low. I suggest you check up the KSP website for the past ballot history fo the schools you are interested before you decide on your strategy (sounds so chim :laugh: ) on how to go about this. By the way, when do you need to register your gal? If it is this year, it is a little late to start house hunting and moving :nailbite:

Were you a former student of South View ? If you are, keep that vital report book and/or PSLE cert. You will enjoy Phase 2A.
