2012 P1 Registration Exercise for 2013 In-Take

[Gwyn]

Thanks for quick advise! Is Chinese important, I heard that acs primary does not focus on Chinese. Whereas maris stella has higher Chinese.

1) Register DS in Henry Park first.

2) By 2nd day of Phase 2B, ascertain chances of possible balloting within 1km range for ACJS. Station one parent each at both schools.
3) If chances of getting into ACJS good, the parent already stationed at Henry Park to de-register kid with school (they allow that? no questions asked?)
4) That same parent to zoom down to ACJS to register DS.

The process is correct. If both parents are available, it is better for one to be stationed at Henry Park, while the other at ACJS. Once the withdrawal from Henry Park is complete, the parent at ACJS can just proceed to register immediately. Hence, you cut down on one worry - travelling from Henry Park to ACJS.

Many parents do the withdrawal and registration. I believe the schools are used to it, and will not probe.

Am I being kiasu here? I've looked & re-looked at past balloting data/history & it seems Phase 2B within 1km for ACJS is quite safe. Or should I have one more back-up should our zooming around fail?! :shock: :faint:

It's always good to have backup plan, whether you use it eventually or not.

Hi mummies,


I need advice. This is my current situation.

I will need to register my boy for P1 this yr, for 2013 in-take, and my application to be a PV at SouthView school had been rejected by the school.

My husband and I have a plan to move house, and we are pretty open in terms of locations to move to in SG..I have been searching high and low to see if there's any good schools that I can move to and have good chance to get in for <1km...

Any suggestions/ tips from parents would be much appreciated!!

Eh somehow feel that RMPS is not so balance, Kellock well balance or new balance. Went Kellock open house, the \"feel\" is so different. :rahrah:


Phase 2C for this year would be 30 Jul, 31 Jul & 1 Aug.

Hi Titank,

I also thinking of registering my DS in either RMPS or ZDPS. Can you explain why is RMPS not balance? But both will be under 2C within 1km

hi jiangnan,


are you a foreigner ? if Yes, you can apply only under phase 3.
phase 1 to 2C Supp are open to SG citizens and PR only.

rules:

by phase 2C, all seats in SouthView primary would have been taken up already.
No chance even for 2C Supp.

Hi,

Nope, we are singaporeans.
Yup, i don't put hope in Southview, it was 5 times more applicants in phase 2c last yr...very slim chance.

Any popular schools that do not required balloting for those stay within 1km? Really need to buy a house soon. BTW, I intend to keep my current CCK house too.

Thanks all.
