2009 P1 Registration Exercise for 2010 In-Take

[Luanee]

KSP:

Maybe the other half are 2C because I registered on the 2nd day afternoon around 3+pm. I could be the last few in 2B.

Oh, I was the first one to register on the 2nd day... guess not much business on 2nd day for 2B.

looks like a lot of parents are busy withdrawing and registering at their second choice schools

.....

5. The top 11 schools with the highest APP are:
St Hilda's (313%)
Rivervale (278%)
Rulang (262%)
West Grove (254%)
Nan Chiau (247%)
Jurong West (235%)
South View (233%)
Catholic High (222%)
Nan Hua (207%)
Mee Toh (204%)
Radin Mas (203%)

Parents should note that these schools are likely to require balloting within 1km, and there will be more losers than winners since the number of available places are less than half the number of applicants. Parents vying for these schools should seriously consider going for their 2nd choice schools in Phase 2C while vacancies are still available, which may also run out by Phase 2C.

it would be interesting and scary if majority of these registered are actually within 1km .... :!:

Haha will these have effect on property prices around these schools :?

MMM:

Actually, my impression is that many ppl are probably doing such things (buy a place within 1km of good school and rent it out). Then they use the address for P1 registration eg. they get a tenant with no kids so not likely to register.


I believe alot of people got away with that too unless there is a whistle blower. Personally, i feel that MOE has not come across hard enough on these people (who deprive other genuine case a chance in the school) so people are not really \"worried' that it will happen to them and would take the risk.

Parents can do what they want ... but dun get caught like this lawyer ... he really unlucky ... unless they enforced the renting to no-kids-allow ruling

I saw this before but it happened in 2007. Personally, it's like dun tell me no one did such things in in the past 2 years??? Or they just never get caught because they are so careful.

I've heard of kid's classmate who got into ACS this yr by renting a place nearby. After he got in, they probably move back to their own house as the mum was complaining to me about the distance :roll:

i know many such parents who rent a place near choice school and then move out…specially henry park. So , they are not allowed to register if they are tenants nearby OR they can apply under some conditions?

Using a rental address is allowed, provided u stay there.
