Which phase will your child be?

For a new school (like for APS), will there be any phases? I mean, there’s not going to be siblings or alumni or PV right? So how would it actually be done?

Hi Love@Depot,


My child is 08 as well n I applied PV for RMPS. Haven't heard from them either but not having high hopes. 2nd choice initially was ZhangDe.

You all read about Alexandra Primary School accepting students from next year. Now another headache - will anyone consider a brand new school at all??? Not sure is it a big risk to take even though it will be headed by an experienced principal. But it will definitely be nearer as compared to RMPS. Sigh.. Really many things to consider.

Well it depends on individual whether to let a child try a new school. Many years ago when Gan Eng Seng Primary was also a new school. I guess with the principal profile from MBS defintely will draw certain demand. You need to check your distance against the school to determine your chance of the registration. :nailbite:

Does anyone know what kind of sessions will APS offer? As in, am/pm session or one session?

Hi


Hope the seniors here an advise :please:

I am keen to register my boy at the new Alexandra Pri (AP) -think I'm about 2km away. I will be under Phase 2c.
How should I plan in order not to loose out on my 2nd choice which is GESP (I'm 1-2km away)?
I think AP will be really \"hot\" because its P will be from Maha Bodhi. If I can't get a place in P2C, I'm not sure if I will be too late if I register for GESP under P2Csupp.

To get around this, I will wait till the end of P2C registration at AP, if there is balloting for 1-2km and chances are not high, I will withdraw my application and run over to GESP to submit my application there??!!

Anyone can advise if this is the best \"strategy\" to adopt?

:thankyou:

Check the schools (Target list) like 1km at 4pm. If APS have chance for more than 2km then quickly register at 4.15pm. Pray hard there will not be big group of 1km of APS come in at 4.25pm if not you no chance to react.

Best get your partner or authorised a proxy to help register at 4.15pm.
Your best chance will be those 1Km schools where sure you get in (Get those sure enter & without ballot)..

P2B is also for grassroot leaders, so there may be applicants.

Yes, the new school will still go through the phases. The only difference is whether there is any applicant. Alexandra Primary School's registration will be held in Zhangde Primary School. So, parents who plan to register with either Alexandra or Zhangde may like to take note so that you won't end up registering with the wrong school.

Hi,


Am interested in applying APS for my girl. But unable to find any info with regards to this sch. Anyone have any idea will there be any soft launch intro for the school? APS is still not in MOE sch listing. How do i determine if i fall with 1km or 1-2km zone?

[nightlone]

maybe u can agar agar measure the distance in onemap? there a something or tool can use to measure.

[titank]

Best is to check with the school which can give you the best answer. APS is not yet listed in the Onemap so you are not able to check the distance based reference.
