2013 P1 Registration Exercise for 2014 In-Take

janjanmum - ncps pv is open. it is correct. they re-open for 2007 born till Mar. Seems like selection in Apr. If u stay within 1km, still worthwhile to do. If you stay 1-2km, do have contingency plan. If u stay more than 2km like me, u may wan to reassess your plan.


Seems like Sengkang going to have two new primary schools with first intake in 2013.

Whew! Lucky ncps pv reopens. Thanks eu-ern!

Am considering schools around Queenstown / Bukit Merah area as I'll be moving to Dawson Estate sometime in 2014. Any good recommendations? I have seen pretty good feedback on Zhangde Primary School, but in terms of distance, Queenstown Primary School will be the nearest (< 1km) , Gan Eng Seng, New Town & Zhangde will fall between the 1-2km radius.

For GESPS, you may like to start reading from Page 33 of the Bukit Merah thread for more information:

As for Queenstown Pri, the Queenstown Pri's Parents Networking Group will give you an idea:

If you are very keen about Zhangde and if your schedule allows you, perhaps joining as PV for the school may be the best way out.

Thanks so much for your assistance! :thankyou:

However, after much debate with my husband, we are likely to do PV in Fairfield Methodist Primary School instead, cos' my husband is more keen on my DD pursuing her education there. If we are unable to get in by Phase 2B , then we will try for Zhangde or Queenstown Primary School at Phase 2C instead

Likely??

If you have not submitted your PV application yet, then you are likely too late already! Better call the school and check whether they are still accepting PV appication...pronto!

Anyone planning to do PV for more than one school? I've shortlisted 3 schools but so far only 2 replied. ds was born in 2007 and dd 2011. make more sense to go for a co-ed primary but the ones dh prefers happened to be boys :scratchhead:

Oops :shock: ... didn't realise that we must call the school, cos' their school website still stated applications were open till May 2012 for children born in 2007. I have already filled up the form and crafted a proposal already, so now it's just a matter of sending out the documents, and wait to see if we are accepted as PVs :nailbite: . Think I'll the call the school as well to check if they can still accept PVs ...

Since you have a boy and girl, I think going to co-ed would be better, at least your DD will be able to go to the same primary school with her elder brother under Phase 1

Actually I'm in a dilemma. I have 1 gal then boy. Not sure whether to send gal to my school (gal school with affiliated sec sch), then source for another sch for my boy later. Or take the risk for my gal and source co-Ed sch around my place. But I'm not within 2km of the better schools in my area so really there's an opportunity cost for my gal. Sigh...

Ya.. people were saying settle one first, the younger one talk later. Some more with affiliation, it really helps such that I won't be so stress during PSLE time too..

But there are alot of new condo / ECs being built in the area now. I guess it's just going to be more competitive nearing my boy's pri 1 registration next time. Stressed..

Seems like we are on the same route. But the dawson estate is not within the 2km radius. So i'm kinda worry.
