been rather quiet here, since most of us started being active in other threads.

since it is P1 registration now, i am following the statistics very very closely.
quite shocked to see 23 registering for CPS today.

anyone knows if this is the norm in prev yrs? cos this is the first yr I am watching the data closely, so never took notice of the trends before this.

i am very concerned cos next week is my turn to register!! still not sure how the outcome will be...

:rotflmao: it is very quiet in all threads other than the 1) game thread, 2) Y2005 club thread & 3) P1 registration thread!

I think for the 23 registering for CPS on Monday may come from
For a child whose parent has joined the school as a parent volunteer not later than 1 Jul 2010 and has given at least 40 hours of voluntary service to the school by 30 Jun 2011 & For a child whose parent is endorsed as an active community leader.

Kabby, not too worry - you going for Frontier 1st and then CPS as 2c Supp? shouldn't be a problem :xedfingers:

I have few chit-chats with DD2's schoolmates parents and most have the same planning as you do :grphug: ...Some will go try WGPS and also taking CPS as 2C Supp...I only share with them what DD1 is doing in school and how's her learning by so far. But when I told them that DD1 involves in this year NDP performance and has been reporting to school / Marina floating platform every Sat from 7.45am to 10.30pm, they all gave the same:\" :yikes: :nailbite: your DD1 can tahan so long hours? And she so petite & small size!\" :rotflmao: Well, she enjoys so much that although she tired every weekend but insists she will not give up theCCA! :please: :please:

oh, that is so exciting! what is your dd's role in the NDP?

so you get free tix right?
actually these are the stuff that are most memorable, she will remember this all her life. so i think it is a really great opportunity and experience.

i hope and wish both my sons get to have such experiences too! won't mind the hard work and effort. think it is all worth it!

thanks so much for the consolation. still can't help feeling a bit risky if i reg for frontier first then later CPS no space. this yr CPS seem hotter lei... or is it cos reduction of vacancies make it a tighter squeeze?

actually all around CPS, there are no HDB blocks like Rulang, West Grove or JWPS or Frontier, just the Boy's Home and the St Joseph Home. So I felt that my plan would be very safe, since CPS does not have that many within 1km unlike other schools I mentioned. The closest would be the premium flat cluster at St 24 and the Boon Lay Ave that side. But those are not as dense as those around Rulang or West Grove or JWPS or Frontier. I did my HW and checked the street directory online.

But now... a bit worrying lah. Nvm I will keep checking the stats for both Frontier and CPS after today, and then next week I'll try monitoring it closely every night also.

hard every day

Hi Kabby,
My DD1 is performing under the \"Bloco Singapura\" together with the LaSelle School students. She is playing Surdo standing at the last row in the performance. So, we were teasing her that she is so small size definitely can't catch her on T.V. unless the camera man is kind enuf to give her close-up shot! :rotflmao:

From where I am stay, I am 1 km from WGPS & CPS as well...so, my feel is that those who fail in the ballot for WGPS (presumingly) will go for CPS as their back-up for Phase 2C Supp....

No worry, just monitor and go with the flow :celebrate: ....

CPS just had a coat of paint applied to one of the walkways and the name of that walkway is COCOA(COporation’s COllection of Artwork) and some students’s art pieces are put up there.

Good Morning, everyone! Finally we decided to register my DD to CPS.


Yesterday i finally finished reading all the posts in this thread and seems like CPS has very fun and interesting learning environment similar to my DD's Childcare. Looking forward to knowing the parents here and learn more from you.

cheers!

Hi sno_opy, good morning! :hugs: :snuggles:
So happy to know you and :welcome: to join this thread!

Glad to know that you have decided to register with CPS and am sure your DD will have a happy studying environment there.

Just a suggestion - have a back-up plan for P2c Supp - in case! Looking at this year registration senario, just :xedfingers:......

[sno_opy]

hello, champion! Great to know you here! I read many of your posts here and thanks for all the information.


We stay just opposite CPS. if still go to P2C Supp, then guess MOE need to build at least 2 more PS in JW. hehe....

This year is super terrible for parents who register the kids to P1. We didnt even have chance to ballot in 2B for RL...haiz, can't trust all the statistics any more, must believe own judgement.

Hi LKVM, Thank you so much! :celebrate:


yes, will register next Friday as the first two days not free. No plan to ballot in GWPS even though we stay within 1km.

I have asked the school, the vice principal replied me (so nice...) that they are currently looking into the possibilities to set up in school BASC but can't guarantee there will be one next year. Hopefully there will be one next Jan. Now we have to source for good one nearby and DD need to take school bus to BASC.
