2012 P1 Registration Exercise for 2013 In-Take

PhoBIA:

Yes, it's the carbon copy. You got your choice school without balloting? :celebrate:

I think it depends on individual school?
When I registered (although under 2A2), the carbon copy was immediately given after registration on the same day, but w/o the principal's signature.
Was told that a separate letter w/ date of orientation will be given out if successful.

anyone know when is the balloting time for Holy Innocent pri?

For my school, I got the carbon copy and another copy by mail to confirm the acceptance with the principal's signature.
Only upon receiving the letter, my mind was at ease although I knew i was guaranteed at P2A.

Hi ppl,


I’ve just sold my flat, will they allow me to use my my rental address for registration? I’ve not purchased my next property yet, so tentatively "address-less". Anyone can advise on this?

Take some time to read through the thread 'all about home addresses'! You'll probably find your answers.

Recently on Today’s Online - Voice, several articles on alumni system being unfair when it comes to Primary School Registration…any view? I personally feel its unfair…alumni system should be abolished to allow greater clarity…is there already a thread about this? Please move me there…

Interesting side effect of the new rules, there are now schools which will have no PR pupils other than siblings and which are unlikely to have any in the future, and schools where PR kids will now be concentrated.

Actually, What is wrong about this alumni system that you feel is unfair? How would abolishing it allow more clarity?

At every stage of registration, there will be unhappy and happy parents. It is hard to satisfy everyone.

If abolish alumni phase and go by distance for all other phases, then very soon popular schools like nyps, acs, scgs, rgsp etc will be schools for the rich only.


With alumni, at least kids from average or below income families still have a chance to get in.

What is distance if they can have a chance to study in these schools.
