Hi,


Any of you aware abt 2nd dose of MMR?
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1168275/1/.html

Not sure if it's compulsory to complete before P1 for our kids born in 2009.

Was at the polyclinic today and a nurse mentioned it to me after she checked my child's immunization history and commented that he 'should' get his 2nd dose. But I was there not for immunization today and was distracted with my active boy and so did not ask her in detail.

Hi,

The second dose of MMR is mandatory for kids who are born after year 2006 or 2007. My dd who is born in 2006 only require 1 dose of MMR for current year's P1 registration. This year the doctor told us that my ds who is born in 2008 is required to take his 2nd dose of MMR before his P1 registration during his scheduled health check.

I am also surprised that there is this forum already. Agree to start early especially for parents registering their 1st child.

My DS2 born 2009 will be phase 1. My DS1 just got balloted under 2C (7Aug) in a popular school (3:1) which just 200m from our home. I wanted to PV so that there will be no need to ballot within 1km (according to past history for 2B). But school rejected my PV application stating due to overwhelming PV applications. I was very disappointed but still went to try the same school under 2C. Anyway this year P1 registration is a crazy one, even with SC priority over PR (new rule this year) balloting was still required within 1km for 2B. So think twice if you still want to PV with balloting under 2B? Do you mind to go thru balloting again in 2C if 2B failed? And so? Going thru this kind of stress is no joke. Read that some parents cried n couldn’t move on for days after they failed to ballot in.
Population inSengkang / PUNGGOL is growing very fast. So many more flats, EC n condo by 2014 / 2015. The competition will be worst than past years. This year had already evident. There are 5 new Pri schools for P1 registration this year. May be more will be built. But the popular schools will be super hot.
Always have backup plan n you won’t be so stress n lost. Just need to know the 2nd choice is a safe choice. There are parents who still not able to ballot in 2CS n worst no vacancies within their estate n need to travel out.
Sorry for all the negative views here, I am not trying to scare or agree you at this early stage. Just want to share my thoughts.
Just be prepared!!

Can't believe my eyes when I saw this thread open.


Let me take this opportunity to 'report in' for my 2nd child. Most likely Phase 1.

hi All moms and dads,

To be honest, I just started reading this forum last week and I was shocked tat this thread is already started! :yikes:

We will be moving to our new home near Bt Gombak MRT, hopefully by Dec 2014. The only school that is within 1km is St.Anthony Primary School, we are considering CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace as well. Still reading up which one to go for.

We are currently staying less than 0.5km from Rulang Primary School and decided to give it a miss given that we will be in phase 2C. our chances of getting a spot through balloting is very slim or almost 0 given the no of applicants vs the no of vacancies available in phase 2C
