Hi, I have registered my girl in a co-ed school already for P1 next year. But I still want to try for a girls school. So, in this case, can I go and wait list at a few at the same time.How high are the chances of getting a transfer before the academic year starts in Jan 2010? btw, am i in the right thread?

actually for transferring school, do you consult your kids? or they are suppose to go with whatever you have decided?

As for me i ask my daughter first & at the same time.. we kind of put everything on paper so she could understand it better. At 1st she didn't want to transfer to a new school.. but after the discussion of pros & cons (with lotsa arrows :lol: ) .. she can't wait for the school transfer (if she's accepted nxt yr )
The reasons that she gave me.. \"although i will miss my friends, once I'm in the new school, I could go the the CCA's plus I will safe time on travelling\" :love:

i went to one school to ask for waitlist, but the clerk doesnt seems 'interested'.. she just tell me ' no chance one lah...' so i ask her what are the requirement, does she need my IC , child's birth cert, or need to fill up anything . she very reluctant take out a form and say,' u just write here.. no need attached any document'. and when i give her back, she just put one side.. i wonder will the form be thrown to dustbin eventually

At least u get to see the Form :lol:

I ever approached a school in year 07 & 08.. can't even \"smell\" the Form!
just ask me to register under STEP during the year end.
Haiz.. the school not even the \"pop\" ones..

A couple of schools just told me on the face over the phone that they dont take in for waitlist.....Very disappointing

Hi all,

My family is in the midst of a move, so I'm not sure whether the 'pop' primary school opposite my new house will even accept me on waiting list. :?
May I know what reasons were cited in your letters to the school for your request to transfer? Was it mainly the proximity?
Thanks.

Hi Bakugan!


Like what insider mentioned, no harm approaching the principal to put your child in the waitlist. Who knows, your child may be lucky, like insider's.

Proximity is a valid reason.

But, then, the child's results need to be acceptable to ATS before he/she can be considered, right?
