Singrish reporting!

Hey everyone,


Just wanted to let you know that we had a very nerve-racking day today that thankfully was successful in the end: we have a place in Queenstown Primary School! 49 vacancies @ Phase 3, 44 registered.

We adopted the strategy recommended on other threads of not registering in the morning session, and waiting until the afternoon session before committing to a school that did not look like it was going to fill up and go into balloting.

Lots of anxious phone calls during the day to alternative schools to find out how many places were filled (some, like Cantonment, were willing to disclose but unfortunately they were oversubscribed anyway! Others weren't willing to do so - one even told me to call after 4.30pm when registration was over!!).

In the end, we were one of the last to register at Queenstown and comfortable enough that it didn't look like too many were going to come after us by that time in the afternoon.

Just glad that we got a good school and that this part is over so we can now concentrate of getting other matters sorted now.

Thanks Chief Kiasu and team for all the useful info on the website - we couldn't have done this without you!

Dear singrish, you are most welcome.

You have also made history, as today is the first time ever that Phase 3 is no longer first-come-first-served. It is great that you managed to find a suitable school without much problems.

Now the real challenge begins... how to navigate your child through the difficult Primary school syllabus!

- Yah, definitely! We didn't bring DS1 down for the registration (us parents were pretty stressed so didn't want him to go through that) but had to bring baby DD3 with us - our lucky charm!

hope your DS got your choice of school. :hugs:[/quote]

- We did get one of the schools we targeted (Queenstown Primary), so v happy. We did get a minor hiccup when someone we knew voiced some fears about the school (see the QtPS parent networking thread) but on speaking to more people I think the issue has been slightly overblown...
