2012 P1 Registration Exercise for 2013 In-Take

[Zinlime]

Need advise, my current address is in Jurong west, and the popular schools within 1 km are West Grove, Jurong West Pri and Frontier. I am close to buying an under construction property in River Valley, within1 km of River Valley Pri. Which will TOP in 2013. Have confirmed with MOE that the TOP date of new property meets the criteria and can be used for P 1 registration. I am in dilemma, whether I should use RV address to register for RVPS in phase 2c and if unsuccessful, can i use my jurong west address to register under phase 2c at schools near Jurong west, such as xing nan.What are my alternatives?

Appreciate suggestions.

I am an alum of princess elizabeth Pri. Can I confirm that I should register in phase 2a to secure a place, then monitor the phase 2c of RVPS, if confirm <1 km no balloting,withdraw and register into RVPS.
There are couple of schools in Jurong west with many vacancies even in phase 2c, such as xing nan and juying.

The address that you plan to use should be the one that you and your child will be staying (ideally) for the six years of the child's education in the school.

No issue with you registering your child in PEPS in P2A, monitor the situation and decide if you want to register with RVPS in P2C.

However, from your earlier post, you seemed to imply that you would use either your address in Jurong or RV, depending on the registration at that time. Where exactly will you be staying? :scratchhead:

phtthp:

tell yr husband that Not every school is same:-

\"SAP school will teach his daughter important valuable precious character values like what is
li, yi, lian, chi, zhong, xiào, rén, aì meaning:-

Courtesy, Righteousness, Integrity, Sense of Shame, Loyalty, Filial Piety, Humanity and Love.

SAP school teach all P1 students Di Zi Gui -
how to grow up to be a filial & grateful child with gratitude & Thankfulness in her heart, always remember & honor the hardship of what his parents had gone through, just to raise her up for 25 years (yin shui shi yin).

non SAP school don't teach Di Zi Gui nor ... li yi lian chi zhong xiao ren ai.

Phtthp, while it is true that non-SAP schools do not offer Higher Chinese at lower primary levels, these schools do offer Higher Chinese from P5. Hence, it is misleading to say that non-SAP schools don't teach Di Zi Gui, and just because the schools do not teach Di Zi Gui doesn't mean they do not teach the students \"how to grow up to be a filial & grateful child with gratitude & Thankfulness in her heart,....\". Hence, it would be appreciated if you would avoid such sweeping statements in your posts.

For your information, my children are not in a SAP school but their school taught them Di Zi Gui this year. BTW, they are in lower primary levels this year.

I am sorry, qms.


my sincere apology to you and non-SAP school parents. :imsorry:

My girl going to p1 next year is in a non SAP primary school but she is studying higher chinese in p1 with Di zhi gui as one of the textbook.

Hi classmonitor

We are currently staying in jw. Peps is at bukit batok, but still nearer than river valley.
If i can get son into rvps at phase 2c, then we will move to rv when ppty TOP. If we are unsuccessful, then we remain in current house at jw and rent out new house.
I prefer rvps than peps.
I am worried about the phase 2c at rvps. For 1km, the chance should be rather good right?

What enrichment programmes do you sign up for your kids to prepare for P1?


DD is currently in phonics class since Apr this year. Notice that she cannot focus now after changing teacher and she keep requesting to withdraw.

Tot of enrolling her to RC P1 preparatory classes for Eng and Maths. Plus Tian Hsia Chinese. Hope to give her a foundation before she enter. After she enter P1, I intend to stop all enrichments. See how she fare in sch then decide if I should add on for her weak subjects.

Is this plan workable? Any comments?
