Hi everyone!


I'm new here and my kiddo is attending P1 next yr! Pretty excited becos she's starting a new stage in her life.. haha told her she's no longer a \"baby\" anymore and gg to an official school next yr alr.

I'm living in SK, Rivervale area and rivervale primary sch is jst below my blk! It's currently my first choice but i read in other threads that the competition is high for P2C... *stress mode on*

Initally i wanna put her in CHIJ Kellock as it's my Alma mater but then the distance really put me off... my parents place is nearby tho, but i dont want to leave her at my parents' place for the next 6 yrs... so i dropped that idea.

i was also considering Meetoh School, but that is another school tt has high competition as well right? *sigh*

what other options is SK in the event balloting for P2C (RP) is unsucessful? Many thanks!

Dear Shanna27,

Since Rivervale is so near you, you can try to ballot for it in P2C, but it is going to be very tight. Other alternatives include Anchor Green and North Vista which are relatively new schools (6 years old), but have been steadily gaining popularity to the point where they both require balloting in Phase 2C last year, for the first time in their histories.

There are several other new schools in Seng Kang, so don't worry too much even if you get balloted out in Phase 2C. There would be plenty of spaces left in Phase 2CS in schools near you.

Hi all


Will they announce the dates for registration soon? If the father overseas will his photocopied ic be sufficient? Is it ok to bring kids during registration? I'll have to bring ds and his younger siblings if I can't find alternative babysitting. Getting excited

Your child's kindergarten will distribute a booklet with the dates in it middle of the year. Alternatively, visit this site more regularly. I am sure parents will post the dates once they receive any news.

No, photocopy of NRIC is NOT sufficient. Before your husband goes overseas, please remember to get his NRIC from him.

Some members raised concerns about bringing children for registration (for fear of disappointment if they don't get into the schools of their choice eventually). If you can't find alternative babysitting, I suppose you don't really have a choice, right?

Thank you qms.


My boy is not and will not be attending a local kindergarten once we return to Singapore. I wonder whether I need a letter from his current school as proof that he was in formal schooling. Is it necessary? Is kindergarten education compulsory now in Singapore?

Pre-school education is not compulsory here.

Then, you may like to drop by here more often.

Dun fret. There's no need for such proof. My family was not living in Singapore when my dd1 was due for registration.

Tried to search the forums but couldn’t find the information that i need. Is the above possible if there are 2-3 schools within <1km that I’d like to register? Or do we need to find out the outcome for primary school A before registering to B?

[tankee]

you can only register at 1 school during each phase that you are eligible to register.


during a phase, if you want to register at a second school, you need to de-register at the first school before you can register at the second school
