My Hershey will be in primary one this January 2015. Since 3 July 2014, the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) have started with Primary One Registration Exercise and officially yesterday I've been anxious of the result of the registration for the school we wish to enroll our child.

| preparing the requirements |
More info here, primary-one-registration/phases
We fall under this category:
For children who are Singapore Citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents :
Phase 2C- For all children who are eligible for Primary One in the following year and are not yet registered in a primary school
-Registration starts on Wednesday, 30 July 2014 end on Friday, 1 Aug 2014
-Announcement of result, by Wednesday, 6 August 2014
And you ask why there is an announcement of result? Because schools with very good reputation usually fill their vacancies faster than the rest. Like for the school we wanted, Pasir Ris Primary, which is just 2 blocks away from our house, as of yesterday it has an extra of 10 students (from phase 2B). Then balloting happens. Balloting will be conducted if the number of applications to a school exceeds the number of vacancies available in any of the phases from Phase 2A(1) onwards. It is conducted within the school premises.
And if you read through here, primary-one-registration/allocation/, you'll realize, this is harsh, very harsh for permanent residents. Didn't even stand a chance. Oh well, should be fair enough though, SC must be given priority.
I'm just concern because I really want my daughter to enrol there mainly because of comfort as it is just a 2-minute walk from our place.
Crossing our fingers. May this be God's will.
Blessings ♥
