2010 P1 Registration Exercise for 2011 In-Take

[Emelyn]

Hi,


my DD (3rd child) will be registering for P1 next year too.

We have 2 choices.

Either DS1 and DS2 school… Bukit Panjang Pri School, or my almar matar… St Nicholas Girls… I have joined the alumni backed in 2008.

A lot of thinking to do.

BPPS is a double session sch…
SNGS is a single session

I am planning to work part-time… ie, knock off earlier everyday at 3pm… so Single session will be better.

But… SNGS is very far lei… in AMK… and we stay in the West.
But… my office is near SNGS… so, mayb not so bad.
But…if I am on MC… still need to travel so far to send/fetch DD… (We don’t intend to let her take school bus as she will be spending too much time on the bus.)

Must think think…

Any suggestion from anyone ?

HI Emelyn,


If I were you I will register her to BPPS. Is her 2 brothers still in BPPS? If yes, why not. They can take care of her also.

They will be in different session.
In BPPS, P3 to P6 are in morning session.
P1 and P2 afternoon session.

Hi Emelyn


BPPS would be a better option.As you are near mean save time & $$.

Agree with you... that nearer distances mean save time & $$.

hmm.... but SNGS is a full school....and the Sec Sch section is one of the best Sec Sch (that offers 'O' levels)... so I don't need to be so worried abt her PSLE....

dilemma lor.

Can anyone advise if you are under phase 2B - your child will be automactically / guaranteed a place in the school?


I really confused with all the P1 registrations rules…

No. being in Phase 2B does not guarantee you a place in school.
You are still subject to balloting according to the distance bracket (ie <1km, 1-2km or more than 2km) if the number of applications exceed the number of vacancies.

take you time to read all the relevant threads in this forum, especially this one.

We are back for good and after settling my kids’ kindy. Now I am stuck in dilemma No 2- My boy P1 registartion next year. I’ve 2 choices: Catholic High and De La Salle. Its a no brainer to put him in CHS cos daddy is in the alumni, we also have no problem placing him in DLS thru Phase 2B. Both travelling distance is about the same as I am in West Coast area. Any advice?

Your profile shows you have a younger daughter?
Then I think you should seriously consider DLS since logistically, it would be MUCH easier sending both kids to one school.

Yup, my no 2 is a girl. The only reservation to place her in DLS is the affiliation to sec sch as there is no affliation. My other option is if bro goes to CHS then she’ll go to a convent sch around that area ie IJ TP or Marymount and we move there. I know logistics is gonna be tough that’s why I’m still deliberating CHS.
