2012 P1 Registration Exercise for 2013 In-Take

qms:

The application form will be given by the school on the day you register.

Hi qms,

Do we need to fill in the application form beforehand or fill in only at the school? Is the form available on the MOE website? Does it take a long time to fill in?

Thanks!

Just a gentle reminder to all parents to make photocopies of your documents.


I forgot and had to run to the bookshop to make a copy! :slapshead:

All the best to everyone who is registering. :rahrah:

I thought we just need to bring the originals? No?

You need to provide a photocopy of your child's bc, both parents ic, and the immunisation record, and the other supporting documents for phases 2A and 2B.

My query is out of this topic but jus curious to know if anyone ever appeal or ever in my situation before.


I have just missed the dateline (1 july 2012) to register in PVS for my doter enrolment in year 2014 in order to be eligible for phase 2B. Call up the school and blankly turned down by sch staff. I just missed the dateline by few days but staff says rule is set by MOE. Has anyone ever appeal? The neighbourhood school is within < 1km but historically phase 2C always ballot. And there’s a huge condo estate just built near it. So chances of my doter getting in is very slim. Can anyone care to share?

Hi Chief and fellow members,


Appreciate if you could help me with yr advice.

I will register my son in Fairfield under 2c and I am within 1km. However, looking at the current statistic my chances might be lesser than 50%.
If I cannot get in under 2c I am looking at Clementi pri or Qifa pri. Can help to adv which school is better and what are my chances for these 2 schools?

Thank you:)

No. Obtain the form from the school on the day of registration. It's a simple form and will not take you more than 5 minutes to complete.

DesertWind:

The form can be found on the MOE website. However, the original form given by the school comes in carbon copies (one copy for school, one for parents, etc.). Hence, no point for you to download the form from MOE website. In the form given out by the school, the school's name will also be printed for you.

However, if you would like to have an idea how the form looks like, you may visit the MOE website.

How far is your house from these two schools?

If you are out of 1km of the school, pls call up the school and check in the afternoon of the last day of registration. Heard for SJI Jnr last yr, at the 11th hr, a few parents within 1km registered and caused those 1-2km to have 0 chance in balloting. The school had to quickly call this group of parents. Some didn't have a chance to react as they didn't expect to receive a call from school last min!

Wow you mean the group of parent in 1km come register at 4.15pm register?Wow like to react even the parent can fly?

then those staying > 1 km better have a last minute backup school in mind too.
Be mentally prepared! Last minute receive phone call from school telling them no chance is ... just because some staying < 1km last minute made up their mind, decide to rush down ballot their chance of luck < 1 km.

Last minute kind situation a bit difficult to handle. Unless the parents standby at their backup school. So that if there are such cases, the parents can dash into the backup school to register in the hope to beat the clock. Like a scene out of a comic book.
