2012 P1 Registration Exercise for 2013 In-Take

[Momo51]

To all who have to go thru the phase 2cs, my heart goes out to you. This is a traumatic experience I don’t ever want to go through again, and honestly, it brought out the worst in some people…and manifesting right in your own family, your own backyard. All I can say is…we should emerge stronger! All the best!

To all the parents who went thru phase 2C, I salute you for the bravery to go through it, especially if balloting was involved. It wasn't easy and definitely heart-pounding waiting for your number to be called. I hope your kids will be happy in another school. A friend of mine secured a place in river valley Pri but decided to give up.

The only schools available within 1-2km are eunos primary, damai primary, bedok west primary and east coast primary. These being among the least popular of schools, have had almost totally no info/discussion on KSP so far. My fear of enrolling the son in these schools is that the extremely low take-up rate even at phase 2C would mean a huge, perhaps >50% of foreign students in the final makeup, and I have heard in some cases chinese as mother tongue students are the minority. This worries me sick as the environment would mean even greater difficulty for my son to improve his rather umm... basic level of chinese.

I plead with anyone who has some experience dealing with these schools to provide some info on them, any info at all, good or bad. Would also be great if someone can tell me I have other options apart from these schools.
.

Damai is interesting and it seem to arise from a 1980s project to create 'new generation' schools, although damai has no actual history to speak of. who knows, with a 'Chinese' name, in future it may become a SAP sch or be chosen to host some special program like GEP? (e.g. Rosyth)

If that is your concern, look for a school with PRC students. Opera Estate scored 60% distinction in Higher Chinese last year. Their pass and quality pass rates are also above the national average.

How to make the P1 Registration that everyone can be happy? Move house, do PV unless you have the $$ & energy to do. If not wait to be balloted out in Phase 2C then :stompfeet:


Reference an article took from today Sunday Times 12 Aug 12. http://i46.tinypic.com/30mxzpg.jpg\">

Dear Parents,


Phase 2C Supplementary registration at the schools will be held from 14 to 15 August 2012. Results will be announced on 21 August 2012.

Parents can still use the Primary One Internet Registration System (P1-IS) to register their child during Phase 2C Supplementary. If you are registering your child in any of these 42 schools with available vacancies in Phase 2C Supplementary, you may do so from 9am on 10 August 2012 to 4.30pm on 14 August 2012.

All our primary schools are well-resourced with good teachers, suitable facilities and sufficient funding for school programmes. They are fully equipped to develop every child to his or her fullest potential, and there are sufficient school places in every region of Singapore to cater to the needs of all Singaporean children.

A summary of the estimated number of P1 places in the various planning areas and regions in Singapore for Phase 2C Supplementary is listed in the table below.

Region Planning Areas Estimated Vacancies
Central Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Kallang, Novena, Toa Payoh 830
East Bedok, Geylang, Marine Parade, Pasir Ris, Tampines 1416
North Sembawang, Woodlands, Yishun 763
North East Hougang, Punggol, Seng Kang, Serangoon 1290
North West Bukit Batok, Bukit Panjang, Choa Chu Kang 707
South Bukit Merah, Bukit Timah, Central, Clementi, Queenstown 526
West Jurong East, Jurong West 505

Should any Singaporean child be unsuccessful during Phase 2C Supplementary, the parents can seek MOE’s assistance to facilitate admission for the child to a primary school with remaining vacancies. This will be done before Phase 3 registration begins.

Hi,


Does anyone has an excel copy of this year (School Vacancies by Phases) as listed in MOE website? Didn’t expect them to remove majority of the info so soon.

Appreciate if you could PM me, sincerely thank you.

God Bless!

it's been four days since i faced the horror of missing out in the balloting at Maha Bodhi. Have not been able to eat, sleep or work properly till now. On top of the heart bleeding disappointment which I know needs to be cast aside for now, is the very daunting task of placing the son in a decent school in phase 2Cs.

You might want to consider putting your child on MBS's waiting list. Along the way, there will be kids who transfer out of the school due to various reasons and there will be new ones joining.
