Wow very interesting to read. Hope Iโm not too late in discovering the dos and donโts regarding Pri1 registration. Will be registering my boy next yr in 2009 to start Pri1 in 2010.
Have submitted my application to join HPPS alumni in Apr 08, to date have not heard from them even after 2 follow-up emails. Only comfort I have is that my cheque for membership fees was cleared.
Cant imagine being thrown into turmoil if my alumni membership is not processed and my son will need to go for balloting as we are outside of 1km from HPPS. -
Zack, even if you didn't join the alumni, as long as u are an ex-student of the school, u will qualify under phase2A2. Which is almost certain of getting a place in HPPS, dont worry

Well we're talking about being KS... So if can get in under 2A1 would be more assuring LOL.
Frankly I was not aware of the phases and that there's a phase 2A2, which I only found out yesterday from MOE's site... If I had known, I might not have taken the effort to goto MOE HQ and pay $10 for proof that I graduated from HPPS and might also have put my membership fees to better use eg getting more enrichment books for my son -
Zack, phases 2A1 and 2A2 had been in existence for quite some time already. If you just found that out yesterday, then you are apparently not as ks as some of us here who had been monitoring the system years before our kids are due for registration!

I briefly checked out his folder early part of this yr then went to check my alumni application requirements and then pretty left this folder alone :oops:
Nonetheless, this folder is a goldmine with tonns of valuable information for parents gearing up for P1 registration -

I prob would juz copy that link and send them to my friends who are parents for their info -
After reading up on the Home adress part that the school just sees your IC address,as long as near the school ,they let you register your child.
Does this Phase registration also apply to ACS at Barker Road ?
2) Also, are there still places left if I am going to apply under Phase 2C ?
3) Should I go rent a condo there near the school just to get my child a place ??
Gosh , we parents really can go to lots of extend to put our child in good schools โฆ -
If you are letting your child take school bus to school please take note that your pick up point must tally with the registration address. Most people do not know this but SLA requires all bus companies ferrying school children to submit a list of names and pick-up addresses to SLA yearly. This list must be endorsed by the school prior to submission. So you should know what this means!

Chixchix, there are definitely places left in phase 2C because they reserve half the remaining places after phase 1 and 2 for 2C (the other half goes to 2B). Based on past years trends, for ACS (pri) u do need to ballot under phase 2C even if you stay within 1km. For ACS (junior), the balloting was conducted for those staying 1-2km so if you move to within 1km you should be quite safe. Of coz no guarantee the year of ur kidโs registration is the same trend.
Poonie, but what if I am sending my child to my milโs place every morning so she has to take the school bus from that address? And what if I did not use my address at all (ie not balloting anyway) ?
