I did not really doubt my colleague as her son is in Maris Stella and they produced the baptism cert for her whole family (which is the norm of a catholic family, marriage where both parents are catholic and child is baptised at birth). She told me child MUST be baptised. I guess school will ask for it, and people take it for granted is required.


Probably is \"rare\" case where only one parent is baptised.

I feel more assure now, as I am still reading through the 100 over pages, somewhere at 50+ page, a mother is in similar situation as me, and she confirmed that SJI is ok to accept child not baptised as well with only parent baptism cert.

Hope I am not opening up a floodgate for people like me to compete for seats ! oops !

I don't think you are opening the floodgate. When time comes, parents will check out more in details. Unless the parents :snooze: all the way.

PapayaDad:

Sorry. Maybe i remember wrong.

We are one that went with \"baptism cert for whole family \"

I will do the same too... :evil:

I am just wondering about daughter’s chances of getting into St Nic’s under Phase 2B (my spouse and I and kids are all baptised). That would also partly depend on the number of girls born in the same year? Heard competition is stiff esp because of parent volunteers who all live within 1 km. My address is 2-3 km from the school so will not take the risk of registering under 2C.

power puff, st nic 2-3km at phase 2b no chance as well. they have been conducting balloting within 1km at 50% chance during last round.

Thanks.. Frightening indeed..I cannot take the PV route. Moving to another home right next to the school also isn't enough to secure a place in the school. Guess can only consider transferring daughter after she's enrolled in my old school. Skip all the balloting stress. Hello road traffic stress.

Then again, MOE may tweak the registration system a few years down the road...speculation speculation.

You do not need to do PV to get into Phrase 2B for all catholic schools if you are baptised catholic. Btw, my understanding St Nic stopped taking in PV and you are competing with the catholic.

Even if the school stops taking in PVs, there will still be competition from grassroot leaders.
