Hiroshi's Primary One Registration

Back Posting:  26th August 2011

Well, we've reached another milestone in Hiroshi's life!

Primary One Registration.

The start of formal education for many many long years to come.

For those who are still oblivious,

I HATE 

Singapore's Primary One Registration System.

I know I've shared this on facebook before,

but I am just going to vent my anger here just one more time!

There are many "phrase" to register your child.

Phrase 1: child who has sibling studying in school of choice

Phrase 2A(1): (a) for child Whose parents is a former student of school and who has joined the alumni association as a member not later than 30 June 2010
(b) child whose parent is a staff member for the school of choice

Phrase 2A(2): (a) child who's parent or siblings has studied in school of choice

‎(b) child whose parent is a staff member of school of choice

 Phrase 2B: (a) child who's parent has joined the school as parent volunteer not later than 1July 2010 and has given 40 hours of voluntary services to the school by 30 June 2011
(b) child whose parents is a member endorsed by the church/clan directly connected with the school
(c) child whose parent is endorsed as an active community leader

Phrase 2C: child who is ineligible or unsuccessful in earlier phrases
(WE ARE IN THIS PHRASE!!!! 

Felt like picking leftover vegetables in the late afternoon market!)

Phrase 2C Supplementary: child who fails to get place in school of choice for phrase 2C

 Phrase 3: For children who are not singapore citizen pr singapore PRs

And since I choose to register online,

I don't have any juicy pictures to share here.

 Till date,

the school I registered Hiroshi for has

157 applicants for 82 seats.

Balloting would be held on 5th August 2011,

9.30am @ Mee Toh School

I do need lots of luck right now!!!

Appreciate it if everyone can pass me their luck for the time being!!!
