pinkie bear, you really plan very far ahead lei. i mean you can keep a lookout from now but the babies every year lesser, so the chance of getting into a school within 1km of your house should be ok. if you're not ex students or affiliated in anyway, then you'll be in phase 2c.
Lyn Baby, hmmmm looks like de la salle really popular hor?
if any of you mummies want to increase your chance of getting into the school of your choice, please call the school at least 2 yrs before registration and do volunteer work. wat you do will depend on what the school needs. it can be fund raising, reading to the students etc. then you'll be able to qualify for phase 2b. of course if you're staying nearer, your chances will be higher. that's all i know for now.

Ha ha , when baby get lesser, no of class may reduce so the chances is almost the same. As old gal of Nanyang, I get to register at Phase 2A2. Called the admin office to confirm if I should pay $1K to register at 2A1 but they say no need. So should be ok lor. Lucky I still keep my report book till now.
For De La Salle. I called them they do not have volunteer system. So to get in either you are catholic and church affiliated or you are old gal will gain a higher chance. But the more popular school within CCK is South View which allows volunteer work.
Note if in phase 2B even if you have done volunteer work, if the number of application is more than seat available, then they will look at distance less than 1 km. If narrow to 1 km still demand more than supply, then ballot liao.

Shd i still stay here within the next 6 yrs - am aiming De La Salle for Alex.
CL, u mean if i am a Catholic, got higher chance?
But i am not within the 1km zone. So i guess, chances also not tat good.
I even checked out De La Salle website ... kekeke
Heard tat it is v popular but didnt know tat it is stressful
Hopefully by then Alex is Pri 1, school not so popular because no matter what - i will send him to Catholic school!

you doing match making for serene's boy and meow's gal? hehe....
ladies
talk about enrolment to primary school, just curious how the system works 'cos i nvr studied in s'pore before.
we can only enrol one school at one time? what if the school that we enrol can't give a place for our kid? or it's like you can have 3 choices of schools, then which ever place you got it, you just let your kids go to that school?

Chicken Little, you really do your homework liao huh? already found out so much info....
pinkie bear & sunny, guess you're not local since you say you've not studied in s'pore b4. well, its stressful, very stressful and even more stressful when its our babies' turns! arrgh! as you an see, already registering got big headache. sigh!
poo power, you really thinking so far when Alex is only 6 mths old! guess, you have to hang on till the registration to get that advantage of being within the vicinity. as for catholic, i'm not sure if they are only affiliated to some churches or all?
pinkie bear, where you go do your hair in malaysia? heard its half the price there lei.

ya, i heard it's stressful to study in m'sia now. last time during my time, not so stress. only during the period of the final exam, or SRP or SPM then start kan cheong. and i always start studying the day before the paper. haha..... luckily, i still can make it.
serene
ya, i think if axler can obsorb things fast, better to let him go to school earlier. any preference on the location? what type of curriculum you prefer? mayb half day would be better for him to start off. 'cos my friend told me those full day one hor, basically didn't do much thing leh. it's just mainly childcare centre, she find. and of course got some timing is for the kids to learn lah.
since you got nanny can take care of axler, and your main reason is to let axler learn things, better send him to enrichment classes. though it's shorter time, more things for him to learn loh.
that's my view lah.

haha...the discussion of P1 registration make me feel stress ler...even though my son is just 14 months
guess its the domino effect ... once it starts, all will follow
it is actually so ironic tat i do not want my son to be stress about school but on the other hand, if i limit his exposure, he may 'lose out' (or even feel discriminated) to others ... while others are the hare, wld i want my child to be a tortoise ... hehehe
Life is jus so beautiful

serene, agree with other mummies that sending axler to enrichment classes will be better. either the weekend or week days if nanny can help you bring better!
pinkie bear, i also go to m'sia pretty often. was jus in putrajaya 3 weeks ago. that time the sale hasn't started yet. so you don't bring your gal back often? you working?
looks like a few of us go to m'sia quite often. and with some m'sian mummies, maybe we can go there to shop shop one day.
think no one wants to stress their kids. but poo power puts it so nicely... well, everyone just wants the best for their kids and better still if their kid is the best!
Life is fantastic!

Chicken Little, wow, you really planning very far ahead. extra lessons huh? so far how is it? you didn't think of sending to those chinese enrichment classes? i'm only letting my girl attend phonics lesson every sun. we speak mandarin at home, so her english is quite weak. can't read yet. me worried, so send her to phonics.
Hwee, pinkie bear, ling
apart from my gal, there are 4 more others at her pick up pt for the sch bus, and its 3/4 full. So the kids around here gog to PH is really more than I expected.
In CCK area, the more popular schs are - delasalle, Southview, CCK and Concord
I tried delasalle but since i am not w/i km, the staff told me no chance. So we tried for 2C balloting (there were 200+ ppl vying for 70 seats!!!). So we went for Concord as we guessed most others who were not successful will head for CCK. Even then Concord more than 1km also need to ballot. My gal got into Concord. It was a very SCARY and PANICKY period last yr. I will not want to go thru it again! But i still wanted my gal to go to my choiced sch, so I signed up for waiting list at Delasalle, Southview, PH and RGPS. Ok, I may seem a kiasu mother, but which mother dun wanna do the best for her child. As long as we should know our child's standard. So i went to each sch and sign up. At least i am not guilt ridden that i din do anything for my gal. If we dun get it, at least i know I have tried my best instead of sit there and lament. I was already so regretful that I din look into PV before.
Anyway, i was very lucky becos by end of term 1, PH had a vacancy and called me. I immediately made the switch. Big sacrifice on the sch book and uniforms too but no regrets.
Hwee is right, if you intend to do PV, please check with your choiced sch at least 2 yrs bef, some as early as 3 yrs. Cos u gotta understand they may not hv something readily available for u. There's waiting time for thesch to match the requirement against your skills.

yeah i am working mom...
yes, good suggestion, maybe can organize a trip to m'sia..
but no JB huh...scary..
it is nature, parents always give the best to their kids...if not we will feel heart pain if they suffer...

CCK pri is not bad, my fren's daughter from that sch and she does well and now in one of the top sec sch.
pinkiebear, sunny
my fren staying in JB told me the schooling in Msia also quite competitive leh. She and hb also stress teaching her 6 yr old..
poopwer
if you are catholic i dun know if need to be affiliated. But if not w/i 1km also quite slim chance. Best is to call up the sch to check. However, since you are not registering this yr, can call other times la, am sure the staff now bz with this yr registration
My advise to all mommies who are registrating kids in 2-3 yrs time - if you got any queries, dun be shy, jus call up the sch and ask. Not asking to be kiasu, but jus clear your queries and better planning ahead. This is from my personal experience.

pinkie bear, oic. so at least you get to see yr gal quite often. i tot she's in m'sia wif yr mum then you get to see her during the weekends only.
wow, cuddles, you really went thru a lot of stress b4. part of the reason was the dragon yr baby boom. anyhow, it may not be any better for those popular schools also for this year. i'm just hoping i won't be so unlucky in the balloting next year. i'm going to use my sister's address as the caregiver as she's within 1km from PH to increase my chance.
serene, maybe we all can go Melaka someday? pinkie bear says she has frens there....hee hee.....

Thanks. CCK pri is having open house tomorrow, will go and take a look. As I dun want my children spending time in the school bus that's why I thought of putting them in a school nearby so that they can sleep a bit later if they're in morning session. Actually I'm able to enrol them in methodist school as we're church member but due to distant and also afraid that my kid couldn't take the stress so hb and I decided to place them in HDB school
