2012 P1 Registration Exercise for 2013 In-Take

[mummy of 3]

sheryl:

We received a leaflet from CC on parent seminar - how to prepare your child for pri sch by MOE. Is it neccessary to attend? I called the organiser for another date but they are not sure if MOE will arrange another session for the same zone. The schools they listed are not near my house at all & not planning to enrol my son there.

I never attend last year for 2012 intake

Preparing Your Child for Primary School (A Parent Seminar by the Ministry of Education)

Starting primary school is a big step in your child’s life.
To help you better understand primary school programmes and enable you to make key education decisions, the Ministry of Education will be conducting a seminar on Primary School Education.
At the seminar, parents can look forward to sharing sessions by the school principal and a parent volunteer, as well as view the various programmes our primary schools provide.

i attended the one last year by MOE and the venue is at MOE at buona vista on a sat morning. quite informative except the part when they invited the CDC to give talk about financial help and where to go for help. You can go to MOE site and see if they have another session cos they seems to have sessions twice a year

understood from my friend's experience was that your child's particulars are alr locked in the system and you can register with another sch unless you de-register the name from the first sch. But why would you want to do that if your child is accepted by the first choice sch?

I am registering my son for next year intake. Apply for PV in 2 schools last yr.

Both are unsuccessfully. I have narrow down Yuneng as my 1st choice and
Fengshan as my 2nd choice. just wonder which one should I go for which stands a better chance? Very stressful.

The former parent school in the first choice is a mixed school and now is in the top 20 ranking. however, we do not want to over stress ourselves or put so much stress on our girl. On the otherhand we wish to put her near to our home and the second choice is a girl school and probably less stress for her and parents as well.. Thanks for your reply
