RRMummy, thanks alot for the advise


Yes, i will try my best to make it to Phase 2B. If the school dun want me as PV, then i will join as RC member :lol:

Btw, are you enrolling ur DD2 in the same school as the elder one?

I'm actually aiming at St Anthony's primary, coz i stay within 1km of this school. I thought of calling them in 2010 to check but i dunno they will entertain me anot, hahaha

Hi madeira,

you stay at madeira condo??

Do call them, they do entertain enquiries on PV, the issue will be if they will accept given that they have a strong PSG; cross our fingers that they don't go Princess E's way of only allowing existing parents to be in the PSG.

Some one had already enquired from the school and was told to call back again - you can check the Bukit Batok Schools thread.

Given it is also a christian schools, i was wondering if i should be worried of different treatment (be it unintentional or intentional) to non-christian students.

welcome to KSP

Hi jedamum


Haha, im not staying at The Madeira but im actuali looking for a unit there. Currently, im staying at the block of flats diagonally opp the driving centre

Ya, i also read that they dun accept new PVs, that got me very worried indeed. If the PV path is closed, i guess the other way is to join their catholic church or become a RC member. More time and committment is needed and I dun noe how long i can tahan

very stressed hor, when comes to this P1 registration. If suay suay cannot get into St Anthony, then i will most prob enrol my DD in a Bukit Panjang school liao........

[jedamum]

Diagonal which way? Good view?

join catholic church even without being a catholic? wa...
?? you bukit panjang old student? if not, bukit panjang also need pv for your distance. at least i find that that will be definitely easier than SAPS cos no need to compete with church members.

Oh hi, I stay in The Madeira, good choice, hope u'll find your choice unit soon. My kids are in SAPS, and I am in their PSG, so wanted to let u know probably u need to join RC as they do not accept u as PV b4 your kid become a SAPS student....

[madeira]

Ya, im staying at Goodview. Are you ard this area too?


Hahaha, im not ex student of Bt Panjang primary, but i just feel that if i enrol my DD in a school that is in Bt Panjang, at least easier to get in lor.

My fren told me her fren entered a church just to get her DD into MGS. The fren joined the church for 6 months and after the pastor endorsed the cert, the fren disappeared from church liao, hahaha :lol:

Aiyah for us hor, there are only 4 options:
1) Become a church member (err..i heard for Catholic Church, must take exam)
2) Become a PV (seems like a difficult route)
3) Become a RC member (more time committment)
4) Ballot in Phase 2C (leave the fate to God liao)

Sometimes i think and think, what the heck, might as well enrol DD in a neighourhood school, coz ultimately all the students, irregardless of whether they are in good schools or lousy schools, will still take the same paper at the end of the day. This P1 registration is making all of us very nervous and kan cheong wor :x

Hi mowmow, wah so u staying in madeira. Hope to become your neighbour soon


Oh, so SAPS adopt the same style as Princess E, that is, they only allow existing parents to join their PSG. So sad!

Then i got no other choice but to join RC already........alternatively, I could just try my luck in Phase 2C balloting..........

Oh yes, that was what I did, and lucky enough, got my sons in. But the balloting process is so....... stressful!
