I will be registering my son for P1 in school A under phase 2A2 which should guarantee a place. If subsequently i want to take a risk & ballot for school B under phase 2B >2km, how would be withdrawal & registration process be?


I was thinking that I would wait till the afternoon of the 2nd day of 2B registration and if the numbers look ok, my husband will do the withdrawal at school A and then I will do the registration at school B. This is assuming that the system is online & does not need time to process the withdrawal before allowing registration.

Yes, system is online and real time. Hence, you need to withdraw from School A before your application with School B will be accepted.

I read in someone's post that simultaneous withdrawal/registration not possible because we do not have 2 sets of original documents.... I thought school A would only take copies of our ic, child's health booklet,etc. They don't retain the original documents right?

You don't need original documents to withdraw from School A. Only when you are applying do you need original documents.

Hi,

I'm in the same situation but watching the 2C of HIPS closely. But what documents exactly do we need to do a withdrawal?
Photocopy of parent's I/C? Or any other documents?

Thanks in advance for the advise.

Hi, I will be going to the sch for Phase 2C balloting next Friday.


Saw from the MOE website that S’porean wl be given 2 ballot slips for each child. Can someone help to explain what does that mean and what to expect when we reach the school on that day? All this P1 registration is making me nervous…

Thanks in advance.

Before balloting, every applicant's name will be written on a slip of paper. For the Singaporean child, his/her name will be writen on two slips of paper. All slips of paper will be placed inside a bowl (fish tank) and a representative will draw out a slip from the bowl. The child whose slip of paper is drawn gets into the school.

Thanks for the info, qms.


Any idea who wl write the name on the slip, school or parent and if it’s by the school how would we know that they’ve prepare two slips?

Sorry for asking so many question.

The school prepares the slips.

Before balloting starts, the school will invite parents who are present for the balloting to scrutinize the slips before placing them in the bowl.

Wait lists are fully administered by the schools themselves. You can put yourself on as many schools' wait lists as you wish. Just don't tell the school you are on another school's wait list, because it could be construed as being insincere.

Can I check if e balloting number is the same as e registration number?
