All about Transferring to Other Primary Schools

[aggellim]

Hi Comfy1 ,


My experience ......
When i asked my Ds1 . would u like to transfer to Nan hua Pri ? he said , Can i hv to try for 1yr First See How ?? i say Ok Heee....... :lol: :lol: Now he said i like Nan Hua Pri , Bcoz i want to join Bowling or Golf , School provides lots of opportunities and Fun activity for the children .

Actually, if childrens have easy made friends in school that he will get used to the environment soon . Don't worry !! :lol: :lol
Considering his is a transfer student , his is coping very well. i believer given a good environment to study, they will be motivated .

Can u share ,Which school r u looking for ?? :roll:

I transferred my gal in P3 from a neighbourhood sch to a SAP sch.


She felt very bore in her previous sch and I could see that her interest in learning was dropping. I asked her if she would like to transfer to a sch with a more challenging environment, she agreed. We (my hb, my gal & me) sat down and went thru the sch’s profile one by one, after discussion, we finally decided on her current sch.

So far, she is very happy with this sch. I can see that she is more ‘alive’ now compared to last year.

Entry/transfer to Primary schools after P1 depends more on the child's ability to convince the school to give him/her entry than distance from the school. You will need to somehow demonstrate that your child is and will be a good student.

You can opt to be on the waiting list for some schools. However, if I remember correctly, the same criteria (as in primary 1 registration) still applies. So those with siblings in the same school will get a high priority over the rest. And distance from school still applies for those in waiting list.

What about those whom had already been confirmed a place in P1 (next year) and would like to transfer before orientation or year 2009 begins?

You can still apply with one of the schools that still have places after Phase 3 if you change your mind about what you already have.
