2013 P1 Registration Exercise for 2014 In-Take

[qms]

prisay:

Anyone know the roughly schedule for P1 registration this year?

Will it be the same as in July?

I've check with MOE and they say the schedule is not out yet.

Usually, it's around the same time, +/- 2 weeks. It may be slightly later this year compared to last year, as Term 3 starts only on 01 July.

Go to school:

Hi all,

quite nervous on this year's P1 registration. Living in Jurong, fall in 1-2 km from Rulang PS, do you think any chance for P2B within 1-2 Km? Or I should forget about it as I see last year even within 1km need ballot? Headache......

2012 Phase 2B

Rulang
Balloting was conducted for Singapore citizenship children, residing within 1km of the school.

17 registered, 10 places

1 to 2 km : zero chance

Hi,


I just realised that my husband has lost his primary school report card. We too cannot find the original copy of his PSLE cert. Where can i get a copy of these so that I can use them for registration in phase 2A(2)? Thanks

for phase 2C… if there a difference for within 1km, 1-2km and beyond2km ?


let’s say for my choice school which is within 1km… if i din get i can still go to another school which is within 1-2km for the phase 2C ballotting right ?

Or is it that for phase 2C, all distance will ballot at the same time ?

taken from above link

Example 1: School A has 50 vacancies in a specific phase and 61 children applying, based on the table below. Home-School Distance Singapore <1km
Citizen / Permanent Resident
38 / 3

Between 1km and 2km
Citizen / Permanent Resident
10 / 1

>2km
Citizen / Permanent Resident
8 / 1

SCs / PRs
Total 56 / 5

As the total number of SC applications exceeds the number of vacancies, not all SC applicants will be admitted. The vacancies will be allocated to the SC children based on home-school distance in this order of priority—home-school distance is (1) within 1km, (2) between 1km and 2km and (3) outside 2km. In the above example, the 38 SC children living within 1km from the school will first be admitted, followed by the 10 SC children living between 1km and 2km from the school. After the 48 vacancies are taken up, the remaining 2 vacancies will be balloted among the 8 SC children living outside 2km from the school.

Example 2: School B has 50 vacancies in a specific phase and 54 children applying, based on the table below. Home-School Distance

<1km
Citizen / Permanent Resident
29 / 4

Between 1km and 2km
Citizen / Permanent Resident
15 / 2

>2km
Citizen / Permanent Resident
3 / 1

SCs / PRs
Total 47 / 7

As the total number of SC applications is less than the number of vacancies in this phase, all the 47 SC children will be admitted first and PR can still be admitted thereafter. The remaining 3 vacancies will be allocated to the PR children based on home-school distance in the same order of priority—home-school distance is (1) within 1km, (2) between 1km and 2km and (3) outside 2km. The 4 PR children living within 1km from the school will ballot for the remaining 3 vacancies.

my gals are due for 2014 P1 reg. Am aiming either FMPS under 2B (staying 1-2km) , and Queenstown as backup under 2C. Do you mommies think that i shouldnt take the risk for FMPS? What if this year 2B only balloting <1km, Henry park also 1-2km for me, but no chance to get balloting at all… sigh. So stressed ler…


oh, are twins considered as 1 slip or 2 slips when balloting? Says, vacancy 36seats but 37 applicants(incl my twins), also ballot required? Or my twins consider 1 application? lol.

If under P2B, you ate only eligible for FMPS, then go for it. If you are eligible to register for other schools under P2B, then consider all pros and cons before deciding.
