Hi I just wanna to find out if we register our child for next year 2012 primary one in take under Phase 2 a ( Parent formally from the same primary school) and if our child application is successful and finally get a place in that school, but if we parents last min change our mind and we decide to go for our second choice of the other primary school for her and can we still able or go for another registration for another primary school nearby our house instead which is less than 2 km and even with or without any balloting required? Please advise? Thanks

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

Its so difficult to decide for our child for next year primary one in take.. cos there are so many things to consider..

I am in the same position as you, with the same consideration also. My former school is also in the top ranking but is abt 7+km from my home.
I have checked with another school that is <1km from my house on the balloting history for <1km. It’s less than 50% chance of getting the place in. Can’t take the stress of being unable to ballot in. Hence, most probably we will let DS1 go to my former school. But until now, am still uncomfortable abt the distance travelled. Once the school go for single session next year or latest 2014, the school bus will be coming to fetch at 5.55am. OMG.

Posting here because, somehow, I am unable to post new thread in the Primary School thread.


I have heard from some other parents that schools are , internally, informing parents of existing students if their schools are going single session in the later part of this year, or in 2013.

However, googling did not give me any results from MOE.

As such, will appreciate if parents of existing students from any schools who have received such notices to let us know here? Think all KS parents with kids would like to receive this earlier news for our KS planning

Moderator, pls move to the Primary school section if this is more suitable there. Thanks!

MOE's guideline is for all schools to become single session by 2016. However, it depends on individual schools when they will start the single session.

Dear parent, I would be appreciated if anyone can enlighten me briefly when the phase 2C registation start for 2012 P1 Registration Exercise for 2013 In-Take? If ballotting need to carry on, do the parents need physically present at the school? Thank a lot for your reply.
