P1 registration usually starts end June/early July. So, most likely you will not be in Singapore when it comes to your turn.

Prepare an authorisation letter and ask someone to register on your behalf.

I am going to enrol my DS to the new Punggol View Primary. Just near my house. So glad that they are able to start operation in 2013.

Does anyone know how many places each of the new Punggol primary schools has?

This means that you stay near me.
I'm just beside the school.

Anyway, though hubby and I have 'decided' on the school for my 5yo, I'm rethinking due to logistics (the school is in Bukit Timah).

Hubby's take: Just enrol at his alma mater (Bukit Timah) and try out. If we really can't cope or my boy doesn't like the school, then we transfer him to Punggol View which is just beside us.

My wavering take: Why not just enrol in Punggol View and I coach him from home?
Then other factors come to mind: Overseas/competition opportunities. Usually new schools don't have school team and this leads to lesser opportunities. Not that my boy will most likely be on school team, but there's just a possibility.

Now, I'm sitting on the fence. Hubby will most likely say 'yes' to my decision. Study at a school near Punggol? Or send to Bukit Timah daily?

Hi I have the same dilemma although my decision can come later - my DD starts p1 in 2014.


I can chose to send her to my alma mater in AMK or to a neighbourhood sch near home. Thinking whether to shift house to be nearer to AMK, to stay put in the neighbourhood. Travel time is definitely a concern.
