Ai Tong

GS1329:

Hi all,


When Ai Tong moves back to its original campus, would they increase their primary 1 intake?

Thanks

Not likely in my opinion,as they are shifting toward single session. Be happy if they don't reduce their P1 intake.

If one day Ai Tong enter balloting in Phase 2A(1) : then all old girls remaining behind inside 2A(2) will be bypassed

You should ask yourself, \"by paying $500 alumni fees (fees increased from last time by a lot), does it give me any peace of mind ?\"
If Yes, pay, to get peace of mind.
If No difference, stay put in 2A2.
But if balloting really happen in 2A(1) : don't regret, don't cry, if end up bypassed.

If balloting arise one day in 2A(1) : you ballot if fall outside 2 km, fight for that chance, your child may still get in.
But if balloting arise in 2A(1) & still remain in 2A(2) : u totally zero chance, to enter Ai Tong.

Years ago, the alumni fees was cheaper.
During my friend's dd time to enrol her girl into Ai Tong, she told me alumni fees back then (a few years ago), was only around $200.
The fact that today u mention Ai Tong Phase 2A(1) alumni fees had risen to $500 : indicate that many people had already joined alumni. When demand increase (because many people join alumni), naturally the fees also shot up.

Perhaps part of the reason due to the rise, was because last year (2014) :
a few primary schools encountered balloting in 2A(2) outside 2 km , something quite unheard of before, in the past.

last year, a few primary schools got involved in Phase 2A(2) balloting, because demand exceed vacancies, in 2A(2). These include

- CHIJ St Nicholas girls' primary (Ang Mo Kio) : had 24 children vying for 14 spots,

-\tHenry Park primary (Bukit Timah) : had 59 children vying for 46 vacancies,

-\t Radin Mas Primary (Bukit Merah) : had 67 children applied for 60 places,

-\t Nan Hua primary (Clementi) : had 55 children competing for 42 spots.

As such, after witnessing balloting in 2A(2) in other schools, parents began to worry what happen, if one day, similar balloting in 2A(2) also arise in their own school, for those staying outside 2 km?
Hence, more parents began to join 2A(1). Pay a bit slightly more, never mind. But at least is safer, move up to a higher rank.

At $500 : today's Ai Tong alumni fees have become the same as ACS Junior, ACS Barker & RGPS primary schools' alumni fees, while Nanyang is around $1000.

Pay to get peace of mind. Also, the alumni status must be at least a year before P1 registration.

Not sure if you still have time to join the alumni?

Dear Parents,


My son was born in 2013 and is due for P1 registration in 2019. We would like to register for SHHK for a chance to gain priority in Phase 2B.

Would any existing members of SHHK help us endorse our registration? I would be really grateful! Could you please email me at alex_bish@hotmail.com ?

Thank you!
