perhaps u should go back to the church where u were baptized and check with them.I am catholic but my wife and child are not. MOE website does not say that the child needs to be a baptized catholic but some catholic schools I rang say they require both parent and child to be catholics at time of registration. Who's right and wrong?
I've written to MOE for clarification but yet to receive their response. Anyone here can advise? Thanks. -

MOE cannot say anything.. As it all depends on the school and the church. Not MOE. Then to says in Tao Nan school all children must be buddhism etc... it will affect Singapore racial harmony.I am catholic but my wife and child are not.

Anyway to what I understand your child must baptized too. Before the church can gives you the recommemdation letter. -
For Catholics, the kid must be baptised when born and get the baptism cert. No further letter is required. This cert can get you into Phase 2B at all Catholic schools.
Some schools may also require the parent to be baptised but in my experience, the kid must be baptised to be eligible for this phase. I had to submit my kid’s cert in the application. I can’t remember if they wanted my cert but I brought along anyway.
No point asking MOE as they will ask you to check with the school directly. If the schools you rang said they want both certs, then you must have both certs. You can’t ask MOE to supercede this requirement. -
I called up 2 Catholic schools in my area and both schools said only 1 parent needs to be baptised and to bring along my baptism certificate. The child does not need to be baptised. MOE would not be able to advise you on this requirement as I don think they control that aspect of the critieria. As far as I know even those top school’s have their own alumni/church criterias which differs from each other…

that is expected because Catholic's has infant baptism but not the Protestants
and these are church-based MOE schools -
