Back then, have a friend (a father) who signed up for the Parent Volunteer (PV) programme inside St Andrews Junior primary school under Phase 2B, so that his son can get a place into SAJS 2014 Primary 1, then.

My friend (the father) got selected, as a PV. However, in the process of doing (carrying out) his PV duties for more than one year there, week after week, in the end, he decided not to enrol his son anymore inside this primary school. In the end, he chose to enrol his son into another primary school instead, inspite of having clocked up the number of PV hours required, in SAJS. He just let his Phase 2B (PV) opportunity lapse, on that Phase 2B day he was due to register his K2 son, into this primary school.

Do u have any friend as a PV, inside this school ? You can go & ask them, what they observed inside this primary school. When u are a PV, u can see some things, which outsiders do not know (nor see).

Don't just look at the lower primary level ( 1 and 2 ) only, just because your son is entering into P1 admission. But, also look at the Upper primary level : P5, P6. After all, once your son is admitted in, he will study all the way for entire 6 years, from P1 to P6, right ?
Thanks for sharing your insights. Unfortunately, I don’t have any friends who volunteered as PV and I don’t stay around that area too 😞

The true intent of PV is for parents to check out the school they are interested in. Your friend could have seen something he didn't like or maybe something else happened. We do not know, and can only guess at the situation. What we know is that doing PV is important for us to make our own assessment of the situation.

I was in St Andrew's for 10 years, from 1973-1982. Long time ago, yes. From my point of view, the primary school section was worth the trouble, and the secondary school was average. I'm sure things would have changed by now.
Hmmm. Not sure about the secondary school but the comments that I saw in FB are for the primary school section. Hence I’m concerned…

Secondary school average but the COP for non affiliate is still quite high 😅

Not sure if it’s a right place to ask; Just wondering if there’s any parents can share more about St Andrew’s Junior School.

I put my child in for waitlist and intend to enrol his younger sibling as due to the affiliation

However, I’ve been seeing some comments in a Facebook group recently that there are some disciplinary issues with SAJS students . Though I understand every school will have their fair share of bullies etc. but for parents to name the school, I was wondering what could it be. I’ve tried asking in the group but to no avail.

I am flabbergasted why someone would chose to give up on this school and go to RS in the east without any affiliation. Grab hold of this primary school due to its affiliation with the secondary. The recent PSLE and O level exam results have shown better improvements with each passing year, resulting in lower COP into preferred secondary or JC.

Hi, if we use caretakers's address for phase 2A within 2km but failed to get into school of choice, can we change address to parent's NRIC address for subsequent phases?
I don't see why you couldn't.

Hi Parents, My son will be registering under phase 2C this year.
I am wondering if we would be able to register him under my parents address who lives within 1km.
He will be staying with my parents after school some days as we are both working. However can we still register him for the student care service ?
See:

https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/home-address/

Using a caregiver's address

You must make a declaration of alternative child-care arrangement for your child’s P1 registration if you want to use the address of a caregiver living within 2km of your preferred school.

You can make a declaration if you meet both of these conditions:

1. You and your spouse are both working full-time at the time the declaration is made.

2. Your child is under the care of a grandparent or a parent's sibling.

How to make a declaration

The declaration can only be made online, and you will need to have a valid Singpass with 2-Factor Authentication (Singpass 2FA). Find out how to register for a Singpass 2FA if you don't have one.

One parent is required to submit the online declaration form and upload the relevant supporting documents.

Declaration period: From 9am on Monday, 28 June 2021, to 4pm on Thursday, 5 August 2021

Processing time for declaration to be processed: Please allow at least 3 working days for your application to be processed.

You are strongly encouraged to make your declaration early. You must receive the approval email from MOE before you can register your child for P1 using the caregiver's address.

If you need help with the declaration, you can refer to this guide(636KB).

Documents required

You must upload all of these documents when making the declaration:

- NRICs of both parents.
- NRIC of caregiver — child's grandparent or parent's sibling.
- Documents showing the relationship of parent and caregiver (such as the birth certificate of a parent, to prove the relationship to the child's grandparent, or the birth certificate of the parent's sibling, to prove the sibling relationship).

You must be prepared to produce additional supporting documents, upon request.

If balloting is required

If the caregiver’s address is within 2km of the school, your child will be balloted together with those of the same citizenship living between 1km to 2km of the school. This is regardless of how close the caregiver’s address is to the school.

Would you strongly recommend for people to send their kids there?

I've spent 10 years in here but I don't remember going back to the school since 1984.
I may have gone back to certify some copies of my report card, I think, but its still so long ago.
When I was lecturing a few years ago, I remember asking the age of my students and I think the oldest was born in 1995! :faint:

Hi can I check why does school end at 3.30pm on fridays? Does it apply for whole primary school?
I believe it’s because the boys (P3-P6) have their CCAs on Fridays from 7.30-9.30am. So the lesson time is pushed back, making the school day end later.

For the P1 and P2s, they don’t have CCAs yet, but during the same time slot, they will have their PAL activities (read more at: https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/infopedia/articles/SIP_2019-01-28_140734.html)

So the 3.30pm dismissal timing applies for the whole school, although the school may have made special arrangements for the Muslim boys, if they need to go to the nearby mosque for Friday prayers. Please check with the school directly if you need to find out.
