[jenao]

Hi,


Reading this thread also make me really kan cheong.

Would like to ask, do you need to prepare a copy of all the documents requested for the registration or the school will photocopy if they require? Just bring originals will do?

bigD, any idea why there is a decrease of 1 class for RGPS, or for those schools that got decrease ?

Read CNA news...MOE mentioned the 2012 cohort is same as 2011 (ie this year's P1). Figured that even with upgrading to go single session, there is a limit that schools can expand.

3 schools in BT will be reducing 1 class for this year's registration. I can imagine the added stress of those in P2C.

I also don't understand the rationale for this. BT has only 6 pri schs, and they decided to reduce intake for 3 of them w/o compensating with any increase for the other 3. Additionally, there's lots of residential properties mushrooming around that area so it just gets so unnecessarily competitive this yr.

which 3 got decrease?

the whole Pri 1 next year has 41,500 slots

Dear Mummies/Daddies,


I would like to enquire something.
If i'm applying through Phase 2A2 as my hubby is an old boy in St. Gabriels, but he had lost his PSLE result and report book, is it still possible to register at this Phase???

Please advice. Super panicking now.

No experience but maybe you can call up the school to check if they still have records of your dh? They may keep the records, so no harm trying.

Or other parents who have been in the same situation can advise you better.

MTIA

you should bring a set of photocopy and the original, save the hassle

in fact you should have many sets of photocopy at home, on file, as you will need them now and then

or scan pdf copy, put it on hard disk and deposit it in some email account and it could be retrieved anywhere around the world.

Try calling MOE. A friend of mine also experienced this. Managed to get a duplicate copy of some cert to qualify under 2A2. Paid $10 or something like that.

TQ. many parents will be upset

I put myself in the shoes of these parents, I will also be very disappointed. Granted with 390 vacancies, NYPS can't increase anymore. But I thought that if they cut 1 class from RGPS, then they should increase 1 class in MGS and if cut 1 class from both HP & PH, then at least increase 2 classes in BTPS to compensate. If can't increase, then don't cut.

What happened to encouraging our kids to study near their homes? Actually parents in BT area have all along been very fortunate to have 6 really good schs to choose from, but it got so much tougher this yr.

Yes, many parents disappointed, stressed !


along Bukit Timah belt, BT small - 6 P1 classes. MGS also small - only 7 P1 classes. The 3 schools (Pei Hwa, Henry Park, RGPS) cut down by 1 class each.

furthermore, parents purposely shifted to BT area, private condo, hoping to ballot…
