2012 P1 Registration Exercise for 2013 In-Take

[pup_pup]

Hi, pls enlighten me.


I am trying for pei hwa under phase 2c since I hv no affiliation nor done any PV.

If tis fails, my back up is bukit timah, but I do it at the end of phase 2c? Or I station one parent each at the 2 schools on the first day? Or I only try bukit timah once it is apparent tat pei hwa is full? Or MOE will allocate if I fail in my bid for pei hwa?

Phew, just imagining the situation is making me nervous

Thks!

Is your child a Singapore Citizen? What is the distance between your house and Pei Hwa? What about distance to Bt Timah Pri?

Since your backup school is Bt Timah Pri, and this school historically had vacancies in P2CS, it may be worthwhile going through the balloting for Pei Hwa in P2C. Who knows, your child may be lucky.

In the event your child doesn't get a place in Pei Hwa, you may then apply with Bt Timh Pri in P2CS. In this case, there is no need to station the parents in the two schools.

Of course, the above recommendation is based on past statistics.

Pup pup
do note that as qms had pointed out, her suggestions r based on past statistics. Do u have a back up sch besides bukit timah pri? Be mentality prepared that in the event u did not succeed in pei hwa balloting, u may need to ballot for bukit timah pri n u must be prepared for plan c in case u run out of luck in p2csupp ballot. I am assuming, if PR staying in bukit timah area r now not able to join in ballot for super popular schs in bukit timah stretch, if most of them turn to bukit timah pri for p2c, p2csupp vacancies will greatly reduce as a result.
Just ensure u have back up plan for your backup plan when u want to participate in pei hwa ballot in p2c. N also monitor pei hwa's vacancy at p2c n check with the sch on the number of citizen applicants within 1km to better ascertain your chances.
Good luck.
