Hi larkspur,

thanks for you advice.
yeah, i hv a few backups already. actually i was rather pissed off by dh, he's a catholic but din wan to get the church endorsement for P2B @catholic schs.
rather stressed out by the balloting that will be carried out this friday. i will decide everything after this friday's balloting.

Hmm... I don't believe you need a letter from the church for Catholic schools. Most of them require just the baptism certificate, either of the child or one of the parents. But best to check as it might differ from school to school.

Hi all, according to my fren who is a catholic... My hb was an d boy of the catholic schs therefore my boy shld be eligible for P2A.
Is tat true? If it is... I'm gonna faint.

AFAIK the 2A priority only applies when either parent was from that specific pr school.


If u r from Catholic High Pr, u will not get 2A priority if u choose to apply to St Joseph Jr.

If u were from Catholic JC, u don’t get 2A priority for application to affliated Catholic pr schools.

Was told that someone who was from ACJC and spent $$$ to join the ACS OBA only to find that it does not help them in getting their boy into either ACS.

Not necessary...can still go for 2B (if it applies) and/or pray for divine intervention!!

I understand that by becoming a member does not guarantee you to go to phase 2B as well. You will need a recommendation letter from them and its not 100% confirm you will get it as it depends on which school you want to enrol.

Thanks. Actually we called up Tao Nan school and we were advised to join the hokkien huay kuan. But one of the conditions is we need 2 sponsors. We do not know anyone here as I am a new citizen (my hubby is a PR). The reason we choose Tao Nan is my hubby who is an american wants our boys to learn good chinese and learn chinese culture

if you are registering next year for P1 in 2013, you are too late for huay kuan route.
