[Novena] Primary Schools

[TheTankh]

If I am relying only on P2C, does it matter when during the P2C period I show up and register (for SCGS). Its not first-come-first-served in terms of allocation, so is there any benefit to being "early" in submitting papers during the P2C period?


Thanks.

there is no benefit if go early to register.

those who register earlier for that phase have to wait patiently for the remaining rest until the last person come in to register.

SCGS wait until the last day of phase 2C registration, check how many had applied, then inform all those involved what is the balloting day, venue & time, for less than 1 km.

usually those who already decided on SCGS - will register early.
it is those caught in a dilema -
can’t decide between SCGS, RGPS or other school who’ll waver until last day of phase 2C registration, then go and register.

Thnk you phtthp.


Saw MOE website this morning on school vacancies for this year P1 registration.
How come you can know how many classes per school?
Is this fixed already? Or subject to change?

hi forevernikon,

P1 is: 30 pupils per class.
MOE has posted vacancies for all schools today.

hi laughingcat,
Time flies ! Son has grown up, ready to adorn ACS Junior school uniform, enter P1 2013.

agree! 30 pupils per class is a big jump from … kindergarten K1 / K2 classes hovering around average 15 to 25 pupils max per class (eg: PCF).

phtthp, Yeah! Time flies. Yes, I make up my mind to stick to ACSJ even though can also go to ACSP. DH damn excited about it. For me....so so lah.....coz he is not going to my alma mater and hence I am not excited at all since I have lost. :wrongmove: I am such a bad mummy. :evil:

Hi everyone!


I’m also one excited mummy who will be registering my DD into scgs this year.
Can’t believe time flies past so quickly!
Just wanted to ask if anyone can share the morning traffic along bukit timah road.
Is it jam packed with cars? Any tips from experienced parents if we have to send via car?

Thanks a lot!

The traffic is very terrible…


It is better to walk if possible
