Hi, I am new here. Will like to check with all the parents here. Near my house there got 1 new primary school under construction and should be ready by Q2/Q3 2012.


I am thinking of enrolling my DS to this new school. Will there still be phases for the enrolment?

Sorry for asking this type of question. First timer in finding out more about enrolling for primary school.

Hi Kome,

Yes, all schools will need to go through the same enrollment process. For a brand new school, you will see no take up rate due to non-eligible for certain phases. For example: Phase 1 for a child who has a sibling studying in the school, sure no one is qualify for that.

You will still need to wait for the proper phase to submit your application. Hope this help and good luck.

:thankyou: really appreciate that. Am still looking around for good school but it seems like the newly under construction school i have more higher chances and it is within 1km.

My child was balloted out of MTS earlier. This afternoon, the school called and said there is a vacancy for my child. Wondering if I should take up this offer. In a dilemma as my child had gone for orientation at the other Pri school and we had bought uniforms and books. Positive vibes felt at the other school.

Would like to hear from existing MTS parents how you find MTS so far for your child.
Am I silly to give up the chance to join MTS?

Dear Topaz,
My DD1 also got a transfer from the school i volunteer . But lucky is i have not buy any books and uniforms and still able to attend the orientation of the school i volunteer. I hurry call the school that my DD1 got a transfer and the admin say then u no need to come for the orientation (school that i enrol my DD1 in P2C).

For me, i will transfer my child to MTS. Just forget about the books and uniforms. Or u may want to sell to those have not bought anything yet... But must be cheaper lor...

Just my 2 cents...

P1 registration usually starts end June/early July. So, most likely you will not be in Singapore when it comes to your turn.

Prepare an authorisation letter and ask someone to register on your behalf.
