2011 P1 Registration Exercise for 2012 In-Take

Wow...what big difference in vacancies available!

I live in Bishan, I cant possibly send my sonny to Horizon! So I really dont know if there are THAT MANY 2005 kids around that estate (ie <1km range). From what I see from the map, there are not that many... but I dont know where these ppl are from and why parents want their kids to spend time travelling come school reopens.... it is very disheartening and stressful for parents like me.... schools within walking distance cannot get.... sigh :stompfeet: :frustrated:

I share your frustrations completely. Check out the Ai Tong thread and you will realise that some parents who are ex-AT are staying as far as Tampines and are putting their kids at AT. I know that is their entitlement but still....

Chooz, have u decided where to register your kid?

It's the same in all areas. I'm in Clementi and all the good schools around here like Nan Hua, Henry Park, Nanyang, Pei Hwa are also all taken up by former students who live far from here. Then what's left for us? I also enrolled at ATS cos I'm from there but have withdrawn because I feel the travelling will be too much once they move to their holding campus.

Such is the system and we're all trying to work within it, using whatever favourable status we have to enjoy a priority registration.

If parents feel that it's worth it for their children to travel more than an hour to get to school every day then it's up to them. Can only lament why our parents didn't send us to one of these popular schools back in our day.

mummyo, perhaps this is the reason why despite the long distance parents are still not willing to give up registering their kid at these popular schools bcos they dun want their children to lament about them not putting them in the popular schools like wat u r doing now

@ mummyo:
thats what my dear hubby feels... I was not from any popular schools, in fact both pr and sec schs closed down! wahahaha but we turn out fine.
\" so y not jus go neighbourhood?\" he asked me.
AT is NEIGHBOURHOOD! AND a good one. It is not any RICH KID school like CHIJs, MGS, RGS, etc... I am more particular about the quality of students... hope i dont sound mean but honestly, that is truth. That being said, distance is utmost importance.... hoping for the best! :nailbite:
