Hi, I have registered my girl in a co-ed school already for P1 next year. But I still want to try for a girls school. So, in this case, can I go and wait list at a few at the same time.How high are the chances of getting a transfer before the academic year starts in Jan 2010? btw, am i in the right thread?

i went to one school to ask for waitlist, but the clerk doesnt seems 'interested'.. she just tell me ' no chance one lah...' so i ask her what are the requirement, does she need my IC , child's birth cert, or need to fill up anything . she very reluctant take out a form and say,' u just write here.. no need attached any document'. and when i give her back, she just put one side.. i wonder will the form be thrown to dustbin eventually

no lah…

i also just come to know of a fren who actually use her parents address (where she dun even stay there) and get her child into xxx school.

Hi doggylittle!

Your friend might have got in through the caregiver route. He/she needs to make a statutory declaration. In addition, you need to add another 1 km to the original category the child is in.

care giver route is between 1-2km , but she got in within the 1 km. as this school require ballot betwen 1-2 km..

cornucopia:

MOE takes serious action to those who use false address. Do take own children in consideration as children may be out of school should they make random checks.


This is to protect those who are really living in that area of <1km. Not many have financial ability to rent units just to use address for P1 registration. It will take away a place for children who geniunely live near school.

Thanks!

i also just come to know of a fren who actually use her parents address (where she dun even stay there) and get her child into xxx school.

i think many people is doing this, and its true MOE dun know.

Can I collect registration form from 3 different schools on the 1st day but only submit to the school of my choice on the very last day? And how many times am I allowed to do register and withdraw?

To avoid all the hassle of registering and withdrawing, why don't you monitor the registration situation and wait till the last day which is 31 Jul to register the school which you have shortlisted that gives you the highest % of getting in ? You may call up each school around 3pm to find out how many people register and the distance category, then you can make up yr mind.

Just my 2 cents worth. Other parents may have better suggestions. Anyway, good luck !

is it true that most parents will wait till last day last min then decide ?? i am keeping my finger cross hope not to have ballot for my choice school
