2008 P1 Registration Exercise for 2009 In-Take

[Champion]

Hi KL,

Yes, I can fully understand your frustration and disappointment. But don't be discouraged - the odds are really against us as what ChiefKiasu mentioned. 355 against 118 - there are really too many children living within 1Km from West Grove Primary. Nevertheless, just like ctcc and myself, we are all having a \"2nd chance\" for Phase 2C supplmentary next Tuesday. So have you decided on which other alternatives?

Hi ctcc,
Yes, really hope that next tuesday registration is the final one. All the best to you & to me

Hi ctcc,


Pioneer will be 1-2 km from my place....afraid the chances also very slim.

Maybe there are too many young parents staying at Jurong West area. For my case, there are only 2 schs which are within 1km, West Grove & Jurong West Pri. But look at the total number of applicants vs vacancies of the 2 schs, 573 vs 233. Meaning there are 340 children couldnt get a place in the school which is within walking distance and they are ‘forced’ to take school bus to a further school. Haiz…really pity parents like us staying in this area.

Hi Parents…


going for P1 2C supplementary registration. Understand that this phase also go by distance priority. However, have heard from someone I know that it could be on 1st-come-1st-serve basis. He registered in 2005 though. He mentioned that the school he went to register for phase 2C suppl., did not want to go through balloting, so once the vacancies are filled, the principal do not accept any more applications. He’s outside 2km but he got in as he went to register early.

I really can’t verify how much truth in there, but guess better to register early if possible.
