Yes, there is.

if affliated - think the COP (Cut off point) is 200.
for Non-affliated outsiders, last year 2012 COP was 239.

Hi, you can try to borrow the Guide to choosing Sec Sch from your friends whose children took PSLE last year or previous years. Inside that book, you can see all the affiliated schools, CCA offered in Sec sch and COP for the secondary schools. That book is useful.

semgal, where can we buy this useful book ?

How many Chinese characters can your 2007 child write by now? I look through the P1 MOE syllabus and there is a total of about 160 characters which the child needs to be able to write (not just read) in the whole P1 year. My child’s kindy does not have Chinese tingxie and without the required discipline, I find it not easy to set aside some time each week strictly for learning how to write(and remember) Chinese characters.

Don't need to worry. The kids will learn them in P1.

last year, no balloting for (1 to 2 km).
Fairfield Methodist primary absorb all SC staying within 2 km.
but those beyond 2 km - no chance.

last year (2012) Phase 2B :-
Fairfield Methodist had places only for Singapore citizenship children - residing within 2km of the school. No balloting was conducted.

62 registered, 32 places

since you stay 1.4 km, you're within 2 km.
but for this year 2013, hard to say -
because the number of SC babies born in 2007 exceed those born in 2006.

This book cannot be purchased. It's given free to P6 pupils when they need to select secondary schools. You may want to request from parents whose children are in Sec 1 this year to sell or give you the book.

If I didn't recall wrongly, some of the Methodist primary schools are affiliated to secondary and then to ACJC. I don't have that book to refer now. You may want to confirm with that book- Selecting Secondary Schools book. Will give u info on CCA offered by sec sch as well, just in case you decide to let your child take DSA route.
