All About Getting Priority Registration

[limlim]

KSP:

Without tax payers money there will be no road to all the schools. Does it mean all tax payers can go for P2B?

For example, if a school has only 40 vacancies for Phase 2C registration, registration of applicants should be closed once it reaches the max 40. The school then could advise the parents to opt for their next preferred option.

The queue may have the potential to match that of pple queuing for national day ticket in the past..

This is max registration n close system is definitely out. Remember there was once Nanyang kindergarten has overnight queue. Just imagine maid n students (who get paid to do the queue,) will be in the q. Not to mention for primary 1. May be 2-3 nights before actual day!

Noticed most popular schools have GEP program. These 'elite' group of students are identified and placed into such schools. The elite group sit for the same PSLE paper as the rest of the cohort. Chances are they can produce outstanding results for these 'popular' schools. If these bright sparks are left to nurture in neighbourhood schools, we may be able to create the impression that good schools are everywhere and students can excel in any school if they work hard. We have examples of top scorers from neighbourhood schools like Rulang and Qifa recently.

Rulang is quite establised, but Qifa was a single result because that PRC girl was one year older than the peers in order to brush up her English while she already covered the whole PSLE scope (other subjects) over and over liao

Not letting the number of applicants to escalate further and having disappointed parents cursing and swearing if their children didn't manage to get into their preferred school of choice < 1km.

first come first served system is not perfect. everyone within the same zone has equal right. there are valid reasons why people of the same zone may not be able to register on the first day first hour the school office is open.....people may be traveling, some family may have a bereavement during that period (touch wood), held up by traffic along the way due to accidents etc...

I recalled Qifa top student was 3year older than her Singaporean peers.

Qifa became famous overnight bcos of that girl who aced PSLE.

She is older than her peers and as such more mature already.

Behind every student’s success, it’s not just the teachers’ effort. Parents have to do their part too. A friend of mine is a very hands-on father. He does not have a regular hour job, travels a lot, yet he logs on to skype with his kids once he checks into the hotel…to work together on Math or Science. Totally amazing.

I am a former pupil of a primary school that I am trying to get my son into. However I only studied in that primary school from Primary 1 to 3. Am I still considered a former student of the primary school and qualify for Phase 2A?

Also about giving Singapore Citizens priority. If my son is PR, and qualify for Phase 2A. Will he get priority of entry over SC in Phase 2B?
