Melaniessl:Sorry but i need to ask further on this as it may be a possible scenario for hubby and me. So let's say we split up - one parent at registered school to withdraw. Does he need 2 ics to withdraw?1) Yes you can do that.ChiefKiasu:[quote=\"edwardkr\"]Hi,
Need some advice and tips if possible.
I will be registering my son in Phase 2B to a school that our church is affiliated with (School A).
However, our 1st choice school is actually School B, which we can only register in Phase 2C.
I understand that we should register to School A first in Phase 2B to secure a seat. And then be on standby in Phase 2C. If it seems that we have a chance to get into School B (1st choice) then we need to withdraw the 2B registration at School A and quickly register to School B.
Question:
- Is my understanding above correct that we can withdraw the Phase 2B registration at School A and then quickly register to School B at Phase 2C?
- How much time is needed to withdraw the registration from one school and the re-register at another school?
If there is any link or tips that anyone can share, will be much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
2) Time to withdraw is a matter of minutes, depending on how busy the admin clerks are at the school. 2 hours should be a good gauge.
This register-withdraw-register strategy is best executed with one parent being stationed at both schools.
Remember, you take a big risk of not catching any birds at all if you wrongly estimate the demand in the target school.
Upon withdrawing, other parent immediately take number at other school to queue up for registering. Do you need 2 ics to take queue number? Because other parent can't register until person comes with 2 ics right?
Sorry for being so specific but i don't want to take any chances.
Thanks in advance.[/quote]I asked the school that I registered my child at this same question and I was told both ICs are required when de-registering. Not photocopies. And we know both ICs are required when registering. So unless the schools are very near to each other, it will be a challenge to de-register at one school and register at another within minutes. My scenario is during P2A2, not sure if it applies to your scenario. Suggest a call to MOE or the schools to be sure. Good luck!
