Hi all, I'm new here. My boy was born in 2009 and due for P1 registration in 2015. But after reading the forum, I can't help but worry. Seems like it's time to do something now to increase our chances of getting our boy into our choice school - Ai Tong. Talk about being kiasu!


In order to qualify for Phase 2B, we are intending to shift to <1km from the school, I'm going to apply to be their PV once registration is open and my hubby will be joining the SHHK. But based on the past two years' statistics, balloting was done even for Phase 2B, <1km! :slapshead:

I gotta discuss with my hubby and come up with a Plan B now. My question is, which other school in the vicinity is not bad too? And what are the chances of getting in? Thanks in advance!

Hi Skyea, Cat High is close by, but I think it's just as hotly contested. How about Kuo Chuan Presbytarian? But if KCP is Plan B, you will be going in at Phase 2C and you'll need to ballot unless you are less 1km at 2C.

imho, it should either be PV or SHHK. spreading both hubby and yourself thin over 2 commitments is not going to give you double chances of getting into AT.

so you should assess whether PV or SHHK will offer you better chances of trying for a place in 2B.

I don't think I will be <1km from KCP if I'm <1km from AT. What a headache. Thanks though.

Makes sense. Guess I really gotta discuss with hubby. Thanks a lot!

rumrasin:

I am living less than 1pm from AT school. Applied to be PV but not successful. Anyone can give suggestions what should I do beside hoping for a position in phase 2c?


Much appreciated.

You need a backup plan in case you ballot at AT and do not get in at 2C. Look around the schools in your area, and decide if there is any school that would be available at phase 2CS that you would be happy with.

Rumraisin, what are the other schools within 2km of your place?
