All about Transferring to Other Primary Schools

[phtthp]

Does it help? Which school recognize these iq tests, based on these accept pupils for transfer? What sort of IQ tests ? Mensa ?

Just checking around, what are the chances for transferring to schools like CHIJ St Nicholas in P2 or P3? Anyone done that successfully before?


Please advise what will increase the chances? Will they only give priority to those living within 1km or it's purely based on grades and \"talents\"?

Is there any entrance test and interview involved? TIA

Hi, my niece got in st nicholas at p4. V last minute. Last day of the yr, sch notified my brother so he shopped for clothes n books in a day. V happy mood shopping. If I am not wrong, there are vacancies in p4 due to 'Gep openings'. May b last min someone rejected the sch. My niece acad results r good but no cca. My brother thot no hope. Managed to get in based on acad results n perhaps no one wants last minute offer! Just one of the case for ur reference. My brother submitted transfer form in August the yr before. No interview n staying > 2km away. Just some luck from ppl who rejected the sch last min, I suppose.

I was told that MOE has a window period which disallow any movements of students (transfers) btw schools during the year end holidays. Hence, parents are usually informed during the last few days of the year, just b4 the new school year starts. I was not given a reason for such a ruling.

For transfer students, the new school will understand if u r unable to get new uniform and books in time for the new school year.

Hi Kagillus and Dreamgear

Can I know whether your nieces came from neighbourhood schools or also another reputable school? Did your nieces take Higher Chinese? Like to gauge how SNGS makes their selection…

Did your niece's parents volunteer at the school before? Then got balloted out? Schools usually give PVs higher priority on the waiting list for transfers.
