All About Getting Priority Registration

[qms]

Karl12:

By the way, if my choice of school in 2C is the v good school but yet I cannot get in, then I will end up in a later phase rite?

Yes.

Karl12:

So subsequently, when the next phase open for registration, will I get priority over PR and foreigners? Or the not bad school in 2c phrase would have already taken in children for 1km, 1-2km, PR and if there is no space left, I will not even be able to get in?

Don't quite understand your question. Priority only applies for balloting within the phase. So, if all the vacancies in your backup school are taken up in P2C (regardless by SC or PR), there will be no P2CS for this school. Hence, there will not even be balloting, let alone talk about whether you will have priority over PRs.

If u failing ballot in dream sch u will be in later phase later on but in your backup sch as dream sch no more vacancy for later phase aka p2cs. U will have priority over PR in registration in backup sch in p2cs but bear in mind that u may need to ballot it out with other citizens if your back up sch vacancy is limited in p2cs as a result of their popularity increase in the PR community as PR turn to these sch to secure a place at p2c to avoid balloting .
Do note that there may only be a handful of schemes left in p2cs . Personally, I will go ballot in dream sch if I have a backup sch within 1 km that is not popular . If your backup sch is 1 to 2km away, citizens staying within 1km have priority over u in case of ballot. So when monitoring registration statistics, monitor your dream sch n backup sch too.
I will suggest that if u can get hold of past registration data, add up all the registration numbers from phase1 to 3 n compare against total vacancies in all the schools in your fustrict

I mean will suggest that if u can get hold of past registration data, add up all the registration numbers from phase1 to 3 n compare against total vacancies in all the schools in your district to see if u will at least get into any nearby sch in case u fail in p2cs ballot . But take these statistics as guide only as the change in registration priori may have cause some unexpected results .

Good luck.

Yes, you may withdraw and re-apply on the last day of P2C. The actual withdrawing doesn't take long. However, please bear in mind that many parents will be doing what you are doing, so expect a long queue, especially towards the closing time on the third day of registration.

Thank you so much.

Anyone knows when would phase 1A (sibling phase - I hope I got the phase right) commence? We’ve submitted the form for DD (brought back from DS’ school) last month together with the birth certs, immunisations, etc, but I thought P1 registration only starts in June/July? Do we have to re-submit the documents/forms during that period, or are we considered done in terms of the registration? Thanks ahead for any clarifications anyone could provide.

When the actual P1 registration starts, you will receive, via your elder child, the formal registration form (the one with carbon copies) from the school. Fill in the form and ask your elder child to submit to the school. The form that you mentioned is something like an \"expression of interest\". The form that you will receive is the formal application. However, as you have already submitted the necessary documents to the school, you need not submit these documents again.

Phase 1 will start on 03 Jul 2012.
