2010 P1 Registration Exercise for 2011 In-Take

KSP:

From MOE \"From 2010, Singapore Citizens will be given two ballot slips for each child, while Singapore Permanent Residents will continue to get one ballot slip per child.\"


Does this mean there will be four ballot slips for twins and six for triplets?

I believe so

I am new here. But I thought I recall reading somewhere that twins are considered as 1 application. If so, should only be 2 ballot slips. You might want to check with MOE.

If child's application in Phase 2C for school of choice is unsuccessful, can parent revert to old schools for registration? Does that mean that the application for parent's old school will be considered under Phase 2C Supp?

Why not considers to apply under your old school under phase 2A as first choice . Then apply phase 2C under second choice.

What is the distances between your 2 choices of school then?

It is important to considers under distances.

qms:

Old schools' registration happens in P2A. In order for you to register in another school in P2C, you need to withdraw your registration with the old school. Once you withdraw your registration with the old school in P2C, you are considered to have \"cut off all links\" with the old school.

As such, if your child's application in P2C is unsuccessful, you cannot go back to the old school to register your child, unless the old school still has vacancies. By then, you will be in P2CS, and your child will be treated like any other children who apply to the school in this phase. Your child will not be granted any priority in P2CS based on the \"old school link\" anymore.

sc88,
there is no first choice or second choice application for P1 registration; but if you meant internal choice (ie parents' choice), like what qms mentioned, have to withdraw your name from the sch which you had registered earlier before can register for latter phases. once withdraw from earlier phases, that early phase registration privilege is gone and will not be reinstated even if one failed in Phase 2C balloting.

Yeah, it is only fair to others if one didn’t consider registering in phase 1…well understood that. The school of choice is less than 1km but it ia the most popular one in the entire estate. Not sure the chance in phase 2c ballot. Have to monitor closely…

I would think along these lines first. CHIJ TP is a Catholic school, St Margaret's is Anglican and Hong Wen is secular. Is a religion based school important to you and your family?

Secondly, do you have a boy or a girl after this girl? If the sibling is another girl, then either CHIJ TP or SMP are both good choices, but I think your answer to Q1 would have to be answered first before you make a decision.

However, if the sibling is a boy, then perhaps HW might be a better idea since it would save you some headache when the time comes for registration of P1.

Lastly, HW is a SAP school. Are you okay with that?

Thank you for your guidance. I dont have a younger child. My elder son was from SJI Jnr and now in SJI. I am not particular about a religion based school although that will be preferred. Guess the choice will really depend on what vacancies are available at end of P2B! Sigh, my old school have been merged and merged and disappeared as far as MOE records are concerned!

Hi Kaye

You are most welcome, :love: though I did not help much! :oops:

In this case, looks like you do not have much of a choice except to depend on the number of vacancies available for Phase 2C.

Just to share, a friend's daughter could not get a place into Hong Wen at Phase 2C last year despite staying between 1- 2 km of the school. You might want to take that into consideration.

Hi kidznme,

Priority to apply under Phase 1 as well as 2A applies ONLY during this period. Once you have by-passed these 2 phases, you cannot go back to the school to ask for priority if yr child fails to get a place under Phase 2C. This is such that it’s fair for all kids.

Like what sc88 mentioned, consider the distance between home and school for your school of choice. To enjoy the link with your former school, register at Phase 2A so as not to regret it later.

[sc88]

Sorry, what I meant is parent own choice.(1st or 2nd choice). Since it is the first choice and is under Phase 2A1or 2A2 sure go in or says chances are high , why not ? Why want to withdraw your first choice and go for Phase 2C balloting? :?


kidznme ,
If possible can u quote us which 2 school u are mentioning + the distances as well? I think it can gives us better advise for u then.

calculator:

sc88:

There is forms on a website but it is of no use as when u queue up if under 2C group , there is a number written on the form, written according to your queued number just on the upper right hand corner under ‘REGISTRATION NO.'


Attached is a sample of the Phase 2C form.

thank you so much.. my son falls under phase 2C.. ok. am anxious already.. worried that seats will be all occupied by phase 1 and phase 2 students.

Hi Calculator,

Yap. Just for example-


Temasek Primary :-
The Registration Exercise follows MOE Guidelines.

Primary 1 Registration Exercise 2009

The statistics for P1 Registration Exercise 2009 for Temasek Primary are as follows:

Total No. of Vacancies Available for P1 2009 270
No. of Vacancies Filled @ Phase 1 116
No. of Vacancies Filled @ Phase 2A1 5
No. of Vacancies Filled @ Phase 2A2 43
No. of Vacancies Available for Phase 2B 53
No. of Vacancies Available for Phase 2C 53


Moe mentioned around 30 students per class. Can u imagine mostly 164 seats were taken up from Phase 1 to Phase 2A2 . More than half of the vacancies taken up .

Phase 2B ,
53 seats

Which means left about 2 classes only for Phase 2C not even a chance for 2C supp.

U can imagine that mostly for Phase 2C all of us are getting in/balloting for just 1 or 2 classes only. Sometimes the most for 3 classes only. :xedfingers:

Hi KSP ,

I remembered I read somewhere about if twins u want to have individual slip which means two slips of twin and if only one name balloted , the other child cannot entitled for the seat.:-

a) 4 slips for each individual child names written (twins) , as now each child is entitled for 2 slips


Unless u mentioned before hand that u want just one slip for two child (twins) thus if it being balloted for the slip which means two of the child (twin) got in. :-

b) 2 slips only for both names written (twins)

hi mummies,


would like to check for immunisation certificates, do we bring the health booklet to the sch or do we have to print it out from the National immunisation registry website?

1 )Photocopy from the health booklet will do but please bring along the health booklet too. (Can double check against the NIR website)

2 ) Bring husband original NRIC and your original NRIC too.

3 ) Original Child BC

Optional: -

4 ) Photocopies of your child health ,any allergies,asthma etc to be attached to the MOH forms. Especially, any surgery before, etc. (As I was given a letter signed by the doctor who done for my girl Surgery whether she can PE and any drug allergies)

As I have attached mine as they will need it for her dental care in school.

(However at later date, the dental nurse called me for a Photocopy letter of my child as my girl had surgery before, maybe different school different procedure )

Or can refers to below link, I believes everyone knew this website .
Just for your easy references.

Hi Sc88,

Thanks for your info..


Mummies, need to ask if number of applicants in Phase 2B exceeds the places available, will those that stays within 1km still need to ballot with the rest of the Phase 2B? Or those staying within 1km of sch and in phase 2B will have a place?
