2013 P1 Registration Exercise for 2014 In-Take

[Pisceanblues]

Since DD will only qualify for Phase 2C, need some expert help to analyse & shortlist potentially which primary school to try for or should I just stay in HK and let her finish P1 in the SIS HK b4 coming back.


Also :
1. Will school allow to apply in 2C if staying >2km?
2. Any idea what they do in golf CCA and is it worth to join school that conduct this CCA?

Background
- planning to return from HK around mid 2012 and put up in parents place in TPY first
- DD has been going to International kindergarden & learning golf since 3 and with personal coach since 4

Currently shortlisted schools
- Pei Chun : just opp my parents hse so <1km but sure have to ballot
- CHIJ (TPY) : >1km so unlikely have chance to even ballot but thinking of buying a place within 1km
- Marymount Convent : >1km
- St Anthony’s Canossian : >2km but have golf CCA
- SIS in HK : stay in HK to finish P1 then transfer back in P2

Thanks

hi all,

i’m reporting here too.
Was very surprised when we went to Rivervale to apply for PV and was told it had been closed.
I thought we can only start applying for PV only 2 years before P1 registration.
Haiz…so disappointing

1. Distance is not a criteria in phase eligibility. It only comes into play when there is balloting.

2. Worthwhile in which aspect? :? Aiming for DSA?

just curious, if i have a kid born on 1st Jan, can i register at an earlier year of registration, if fail in balloting, then register again at the following year? :evil:

Don’t have an answer for you, but personally, I wouldn’t do that.


If the child joins the earlier batch, he would have just turned 6 at the start of the school year!

DD had a classmate whose birth date is Dec 29. She said he had a hard time understanding what was being taught. So don’t think I will put my child through that.
