Hi,

My boy is also a '07 piggy, going P1 in 2014.
I'd like to know wat are the odds to get in to Holy Innocence Primary or Maris Stella, under Phase 2B (catholic). Anybody can share?

Hi zann, it very much depends on the distance between your house and these two schools. After comparing the distance, you could check the schools' past year's balloting history and use that as a guide to gauge the odds.

Bear in mind that past records may not reflect 100% of what is going to happen in future so it is still important to minitor the take up rate closely when the time comes. Hope this helps.

[quote=\"jedamum\"]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:

I think u need to declare to MOE if your child is a singaporean...
Bcoz my ex-coll declare to MOE for later entrance for his son as he is born in Dec 2004... So she register his son last year for 2012 intake...

My understanding for kids who are born 1st Jan.. yes.. to register earlier.. ie. 1st Jan 2007.. to register this year.. instead of next year..

Pls refer to MOE guide..[/quote]Hi Castle House,
Its true as my ex coll defer his son through MOE. He is now P1 like our kids but he is born in Dec 2004... Maybe my ex coll feels that his son is a slow learner...

[quote=\"vicki\"]Are you guys sending your kids to any enrichment classes?

My DD2 just started phonics yesterday.
But she seems quite lazy lor... :slapshead:

I still in 2 minds whether to put ds2 thru a English program or a phonics reading program!! *can't decide!*[/quote]Like mummy of 3, i also just started my DS on phonics class. As he still cannot really read, I prefer a more structured method of learning.
In my opinion, ICR, ICL, montessori phonics.. provides a more systematic way of learning phonics, word building/blending so as to aid them in their reading ability.
But then again, different kids learn differently.. most imptly they must enjoy the lessons & teacher so that they are willing to learn and thus absorb faster. :boogie:

Hi zannymom,

My little piglet is going to Maris Stella in 2014 cos i managed to ballot in his older brother!

Balloting was a stressful experience so pls have 'backup' plans.

Our ballot was via 2B (Catholic) and more than 2km type.

Am trying for Temasek Pri. Donno if eligible for Red Swastika although we’re within 1km. Called up sch and admin said that one parent must be of Chinese race before allowed to register child. Fair?

Har? 1st time i hear of such things.... That is also a 'government' school rite?

You should ask them where in the MOE guidelines say this!!

Hi vicki
ICR, Lcentral & Montessori phonics are among my choices but eventually I choose Montessori phonics because of few factors...
1) Still prefer the structured method of Montessori teaching (in awe of Montessori) - I thk my DS needs that cos he still cant read well.
Since my DS has no opp to attend Mont kindergarten, this is the closest he can get.

2) Hv a chance to speak to the Montessori teacher (before signup) who is really down-to-earth and passionate abt teaching. My DS likes her very much too. Hard to find teachers like her these days.

3) Logistics & timing wise are good for me, convenient and near. :rahrah:
