Stress can be even higher if you are unprepared. Just make sure you have got your main and alternative plans all set and it would just be a matter of executing your strategy.

Me too… I thought I have lots of time till I read this thread. To apply for PV is this coming jul. I am all ready to uproot but just clueless which school to choose. E problem now is I can get to decide where I want to stay coz I intend to rent or buy. Too many choices becomes stressful too. I love being in bishan but ai tong and catholic high seems tough. I have a boy (2009) and a gal (2012). Of course ai tong will be the best. But after hearing some feedbacks it shaken me again as some parents said affiliation school will be better for the kid. How true is this statement?
Both schools may not take PV when time comes then how? My alternative will be kuo chuan presbyterian but if I am 1km to ai ong I can never be 1km to KC. How leh? -

Have you considered trying to do PV or affiliation to get into KCPS in Phase 2B? If you can, then you can relax, since there has never been a need to ballot in Phase 2B for KCPS.Me too...

To apply for PV at Ai Tong, you need to be physically staying within 1km already. And they only ballot for 10 PVs. You still have chance at Kuo Chuan if your place is within 2km. Gotta choose your home carefully.
As for affiliation, there are 2 sides to the coin. Yes, those with affiliation can rest easier at PSLE but do you really want your kids to be complacent just becoz they have a back up school? So those kids with no affiliated secondary school will tend to work harder. -
Also depend on the child. If my child is the type who is a bit slow learner in grasping or understanding concepts, I will prefer him to go to an affliated primary school. Having some form of "insurance" gives the parent & the child the confidence & a peace of mind, for the next 10 years from p1 to "o" level. I do not want him to struggle so much for Psle, bec p4-p6 is like a pressure pot if there is no "backup" secondary school behind the scene.
However if the child is those self motivated type, eg: if you plan out a daily routine & he follow closely when guided, & he’s a fast learner, I may consider a non affliated primary school. Bec p4-p6, the child must work really doubly hard. PArents must also provide strong support, behind the scene. By k2, parents can roughly tell how the child is, academically. Kindergarten teachers or enrichment centre teachers will feedback. -
Hi all, my dd is due for registration in p1 in 2016 and I’ve been silently reading the various threads for months now. We’ve made some decisions based on what I’ve read and I’d like to confirm our assumptions.
Although the girls in my family, sister, mom, aunties have all gone to one of the chij schools, my wife did not and therefore phase 2a doesn’t apply.
We are Catholics so we should fall under phase 2b and we are planning to move to hougang, within 1km of chij oln, later this year so our chances of getting in should be better. There is no need for pv.
We are enrolling our dd into nativity kindergarten for k1 next year.
We are hoping these factors will be key in getting dd into oln. Are our assumptions correct? Do we or can we do any more to increase dd chances of getting into oln? -
