Apply for PV at Kuo Chuan first. In your application, indicate that you are willing to move <1km for better balloting chance. Bear in mind 2B u will be competing with Presbyterian church members. Heard that Kuo Chuan is a good holistic school & has safety net affiliation all the way till JC if u happen to need it.
Alternatively, if u don’t mind your son starting P1 in afternoon session (some don’t mind kids waking up later, provided u have caregiver at home to settle the logistics), I think Maris Stella will be easy to get in due to their temporary moving (note your registration address should be <1km of the Mt Vernon site, and then caregiver just bring kid take mrt down. Girl can enter with sibling priority in 2029.

Re: All About Church/Clan/Society Membership
Hi everyone,
Could someone clarify if both parents need to be baptized and members of the Methodist church to get an endorsement for Phase 2B, or is it sufficient for just one parent to meet this requirement?
Unfortunately, my spouse and I practice different religions (please no judgement).
Additionally, does my child need to be baptized to receive a Phase 2B letter from the church? We had agreed to let our child choose their religion in the future.
Hope to hear back soon. Thanks!
@ChiefKiasu hi did your kids go to naval base primary school? Any feedback on it? How important is CCA in primary school or is academic quality more important? Thank you!
It has been a positive experience serving as a parent volunteer at Wellington Primary School for the past year. The school is highly systematized and well organized under the guidance provided by the school’s principal (who previously served as Principal of Admiralty Primary School).
After school hours, teachers stay back to tutor and guide their students, especially those from low-income families. As part of the school’s efforts to prepare P5 and P6 students for the PSLE, the school collaborates with Raffles Institute students on revision and techniques for addressing PSLE questions. Lastly, the Parent Support Group (PSG) at Wellington Primary School is supportive and proactive, volunteering to help with school-related events and activities.
Hi, anyone has experience of successful transfer to MGS in P3? My daughter is a competitive swimmer, doing decent about top 12 in her age group and we are deliberating transfering her from rgps to MGS. I wonder if anyone knows what can give her a better chance for the transfer - recommendation letters or address etc?
Hi all,
I am a bit confused by the ballot results for 2023 ACSJ results. For 2B, does it mean there is no chance of balloting even for 1-2km?
How about 2C, it indicated >2km. Does it mean all the 1-2km doesnt require ballot?
I am staying 1-2km of ACSJ now thus i am torn if i should go through all the effort to shift nearer to within 1km or i can stay with current 1-2km?
The PSLE English Oral Exam might seem daunting, but with a bit of preparation, you can ace it! Here’s a roadmap to success:
Master the Two Parts:The exam consists of two sections: Reading Aloud and Stimulus-Based Conversation.
Reading Aloud: Practice reading aloud clearly and expressively. Vary your pace and tone to demonstrate comprehension. Underline tricky words beforehand and sound them out confidently.
Stimulus-Based Conversation: This is your chance to shine! Use the given picture or topic to spark ideas.
Think PEEP:
Point: Briefly describe the main points you see in the picture or topic.
Explain: Elaborate on your points using specific details and interesting vocabulary.
Evaluate: Share your opinions and feelings about the topic. Why is it important?
Project: Conclude by suggesting solutions or making predictions for the future.
Bonus Tips:
Practice Makes Perfect: Rehearse reading aloud and discuss various topics with family or friends.
Stay Calm: Take deep breaths and speak clearly. It’s okay to take a short pause to gather your thoughts.
Be Enthusiastic: Show your interest in the topic and use expressive language.
Estéema\" post_id=\"2135496\" time=\"1719221355\" user_id=\"66413:Thanks for confirming that point! I'm glad that the rule still stands.
Technically, so long as you move within the successful balloting area of 1km, you can move any number of times within the 2 years, so long as you hv proof of residence in those addresses, but it must be your family. Your family be ready to be questioned & hv a reasonable answer.
If found to be untruthful, the consequences can be dire, resulting in yr being expelled & parents hv to face punishment. More imptly, the child cld be marred by the incidence.

Just to add, by being able to reg for 2B then again for 2C (if necessary), they already got extra chances.. 2 try at balloting instead of 1 for others.The equal splitting of balanced places after phase 2a2 between phase 2B & 2C was implemented a few years back to prevent all places to be taken up in phase 2B, leaving none for phase 2C.
By being PV, grassroots or clan & religion linked, \"earn\" the eligibility to register a phase earlier than other Singaporean and PR. This is already a form of recognition to them.

one chance at 2B
two chances at 2C
total 3 chances
no one has been 3 times unlucky yet
if that was really so unlucky for 3 chances, heaven must have spoken! -
Hi verykiasu2010
If you are referriing to the citizen having 2 slips during balloting thus having 2 chances in 2c, then it should be 4 chances in total, as this 2 slips during balloting thingy is applicable to all phases that require balloting not just 2c -

Asking on behalf of my colleague. Is it true that the no. of years for being a member are as follows:
Ai Tong & Tao Nan - 2 yrs
Kong Hwa - 1.5 yrs
Chongfu & Nan Chiau - 1 yr
An active member will have greater chance to get a place right? Thanks! -
is there anyone u know who is existing SHHK memberS?
my hb is trying to enrol into it, need 2 members to sign off the application form.
thanks -
I heard you need at least 4 years of active membership to get Ai Tong & Tao Nan recommendation letter.

Every year the cut off is different as it depends on the number of applicants, the contribution and years of membership of these applicants and the number of places that the schools and the clan agreed to give.
Some says distance to school may be a factor too. As the clan may not give out to those staying too fast as they simply do not stand any chance and will deny other member that chance.
