On 12 Nov , Piao and I went to Jian's Primary School to sign on the school transfer form officially as requested by the headmistress. Here ,I would like to thank lovely A and the headmaster of our destination school for their precise information and advice. Sad to say that the headmistress for the current school is not that cooperative.Thus, I would like to list out the necessary steps and documents needed for those interested.
Get your documents photostated with the original copy for reference.
(a) IC of parents (both sides)
(b) electrical/water bill for new address or S&P
(c) marriage certificate
(d) envelope with stamps (to be send back by Education Dept)
After that, inform the headmaster of current school and submit the documents. The school will ask the parent to sign on the transfer form. It is being told that by 15 Dec, we will eceive the mail which indicate whether the school transfer application is approved. Another way is the submit the form and documents ourselves to the Jabatan Pendidikan Daerah near the school we applied.This may speed up the process and may only take 1 day to 2 weeks for the results. In our case, we let the school submit the application.
Well, there are a few reasons why we decided to transfer Jian to another school.
(1) Infrastructure of school:
(a) left portion of the school classrooms and area is overtaken by developer for housing project which already in progress.
(b) front portion of school will be allocated for road expansion by government and the basket ball court will be gone.
(2) Teachers' altitude
(a) there are teachers who canned standard 1 students every day for not bringing books, home work etc. In addition, the teacher like to pull hair or pinch student as a punishment for making minor mistakes in Maths. This make me feel students are under pressure.
After much consideration ,we decided to transfer our son Jian to a school for its caring environment and I hope we have made the right decision.

Transferring school has never been easy..that's how I feel. For our case, we do it all by ourselves, take the form, submit to the school, wait for the school Principal to approve, submit it State Education Department and wait for the final approval.In fact, I find that it is a simple process but it take so long to get it done.
Now I hope to receive the approval as soon as possible so as to act and plan accordingly.
