dear parents,


this is my 1st P1 registration exercise and i totally empathise with the rest of the parents who had to go through the anxiety and emotional upheavals especially those who can only participate from P2C onwards.

The reality of not getting your child into your school of choice(well may b 2nd, 3rd... choices for some) is just totally depressing.

i would like to thank the parents and contributors to this forum who have provided much needed info for us parents than the official media could...

It's gonna be another 5 sleepless nights for myself till the balloting exercise on the 7th.. and hopefully the outcome can make it my last...

BTW, would any1 have any idea if the principal / school has the discretion to allow 1 or 2 extra students in should the cut-off exceeded by such numbers...
this would have spared the rest of the parents the emotional roller-coaster of having to go through balloting? not to mention the poor 1 or 2 who misses out on the ballot day? imagine all the parents turning out for the ballot process to 'ballot' out only 1 or 2 of the candidates ...

just my 2 cents worth of thought...

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!! GOD BLESSED!

No, unless the last number to be picked is for twins, triplets, etc.

If principal had the discretion, what should be the cut-off? 1? 2? Why not 3 or 4? There's no end to it.

Hi all,

Need advise. So the school will send mail to successful candidates?

After ballot out... Still can do appeal... Still can put under waiting list... Depends if you want to go through with it...

Yes, you'll get the copy of application with the principal's signature and date of orientation.

Do put yourself on waiting list. Some parents may change their mind and free up a space. Who knows you may get into your choice before school term starts.

Thanks for the advices. Aftermath questions for my reference…I stay within 1km of NH but do not qualify for any of the criteria stated in Phase 2B, can i still register? I should have just go for Qifa or Clementi Pri in Phase 2C. Not waste my chances with NH in Phase 2C Supplementary?
