2012 P1 Registration Exercise for 2013 In-Take

Rosyth is outside 2 km of my house but next year Jan it will move to old ITE (amk) that is within 1 km of my house. Does it mean I have priority at Phase 2C? Once I knew the news of the school relocating, I could hardly sleep as I am registering my child next year.

The school’s permanent location will be used to determine the distance and not the holding area address.

I will be registering my boy for primary one next year. My dh is an old boy from Fairfield Pri, hence that will put us in phase 2a. I am thinking of registering my boy for ACS primary or junior, as I am a church member and stays within 1 km of both schools. I need some advice from our seniors here.


1. Should I risk balloting in 2b or register in 2a.

pandascout,


1. Get letters from church first.
2. register in 2a at Fairfield.
3. monitor situation via tv text during registration, if situation looks good, then unregister in fairfield on last day of 2b and register at 2b in acs.

For your girl, you can only plan next step based on the first child’s registration. if you want to think super far ahead, then just go for fairfield - there’s also affiliated sec school and you don’t have to lift a finger (except find your DH’s old school cert). No point having to fret for your first and then having to do the same all over again for number 2.

Thanks hquek. In your view, is FFMS comparable to ACS? I am wondering whether it is worthwhile to send my kids to a mixed school having my DS and DD in two different schools, which will mean more logistic issues for me.


I have also heard that the standard of FFMS is no longer as good as it was in the past, though it remain a popular school in that area. I tried to email the principal re visiting the school and was rejected upfront. :frustrated:

hi pandascout,


I have friends with kids inside Fairfield, I think the general feel is still positive. both I would feel are different types of school (with acs evoking a more atas feel to ME - I could be wrong).

My suggestion was more to take the easy way out, but leave a hope in case… it’s really not easy to select the best school. Just tell yourself whatever it is, that would be the best choice.

hi everyone,


may i know where may i obtain balloting details for 2011 phase 2b/2c registration? so far i’ve been able to see the balloting history up to 2010.

thanks!

which school you looking at ?

I will be registering my boy for primary one next year and we were rejected for PV from Fairfield Pri.


I need some advice here…

1. Am staying slightly more then 2km from Radin Mas Primary School, should I ballot the school?
2. Am staying far from Fairfield Pri, but my parents address is nearer to the Pri, should I ballot the school?
3. There is one neighbourhood school next to my block, should I just register the school?

Don't bother. You won't even get to participate in the balloting, so don't waste your P2C chance.

If you are going by the caregiver route, don't bother to try because you will be in the 1-2 km category.

You may like to consider this school.
