Re: Is it true children definitely can get into the primary school their parents went
It is very high chance. So far from the friends I heard from, is 100%. Not sure which school you went to. But my friends' kids are attending schools like Rosyth, PLMGS, St Nich's.... All got in in Phase 2A (either parent is ex-student). Not too sure abt other schools.

Based on the current system and figures from the past few years, there has never been a case that the child was rejected or subjected to balloting when the parent is ex-student.
And the best part is that you only need to produce proof like report book or PSLE cert.
Even if you were only in that school for 1 or 2 years, you are still considered ex-student (e.g. transfer cases or merge school).
Sadly, some schools have closed down/merged. If unsure, go to MOE's website to check. For merged schools (school name may change), you may still apply under Phase 2A2. For closed down schools, too bad.
Because of this, many of my friends are thinking of registering their child in a top school, and if they can't cope, then transfer them to a 'neighbourhood' school which is of quite high standards. Then, their grandchildren need not worry cos got more choices to choose from.
For parents that were in GEP, even better if they transferred from another school cos got they more choices to register at Phase 2A2.

Another question: What if daddy was from CHS during his secondary level years but not in primary, will chances still be high if he joins the alumni as well?
