Hi Janet88,

Thanks for your reply! Yes I believe Pei Chun starts HCL at primary 1 and I'm sure I don't want my daughter to struggle with HCL! I was actually from a different CHIJ, my husband is alumni of Pei Chun. Applying for my alma mater would be out of the question because we stay too far away. Hoping to get her into IJTP at first but it looks like our chances are slim. Eek.

I also have son who is two years younger, so it's really heartening to know parents who send their kids to different schools!

i don't know how catholic baptism works. does it mean that when one is a catholic, it will allow them to register at 2B for all catholic schools?
for my case, son is older and academic wise he is average. putting him in the SAP school was purely out of convenience as it is 5 minute walk to school. for daughter, she showed signs of being weak in CL in kindergarten. putting her in SAP school will be a nightmare for her. fortunately i am an old girl of IJTP.

Hi there! I wasn't an old girl from Pei Chun, but my husband was, so that's why we can apply at phase 2A1.

Just want to make sure there is no misunderstanding.

Being an old boy only gets you into phase 2A2.
To be in 2A1, your husband needs to join the alumni association before 30 June 2017.

My boy is also a dragon bb…staying in Tampines.

We dont have any affliation so i tink tough luck with ST HILDA’S and PV timing is so unachievable for us 130pm to 430pm on weekdays!

We stay within 1 -2km and can try RED SWATISKA, YUNENG and Tampines Pri.
Not sure which would be a better chance for us? Or shd we try to move to 1km to try for ST HILDA or POI CHING… haiz
For Church st hilda, not sure how to get int oo? and if its too late

Red Swatiska, Yu Neng, St Hilda and (most likely) Poi Ching will all ballot within 1km. You probably don't stand a chance at all for 1-2km.

Tampines Primary should be bao jiak for you though. Therefore, it's best to go for that.

We are PR and live in Tampines. We live in 1KM distance of St. Hilda’s and Tampines primary school. Is there any chance that we can get into St. Hilda’s.

If SC beyond 1km already no chance at St Hilda, what chance do you think a PR has? In a Dragon year, Tampines Pri would be a risky bet for PR too. Best to look at schools like Junyuan, Tampines North or Yumin.

Nan Chiau Primary does not have a PV scheme. While you can either join the Grassroots or the clan if you intend to enter via Phase 2B, those routes are already closed for 2018 P1 registration.

I am afraid balloting within 1km for Phase 2C is your only bet.

Please prepare a backup school. You can either jump to that school at the end of Phase 2C registration if the odds in Nan Chiao are not in your favor, or go through the balloting in Phase 2C in Nan Chiau and only go to the \"safe\" school in Phase 2C Sup if you get balloted out.

That is right. Nan Chiau no more PV. Only left with grassroots for 2B. But it is now too late liao.

Can try your luck at 2C.
Good luck!
