Family planning workflow
Primary One application date checklist
Turn every date into a clear action: submit, attend an event, check an interview, view a result or register.
1. Build a monitored shortlist
Choose candidate schools by admission route, location and family constraints, then retain each official admission page. Monitor an unpublished school periodically instead of carrying forward a previous-cycle date.
2. Separate opening and deadline
Record opening and deadline separately, preserving the official time and time zone. Before an application opens, the opening is the first action reminder. A future deadline does not mean submission is already available.
3. Prepare before opening
Build a document list from each school's official requirements. Photos, evidence, references, payment and file formats vary; one school's requirement is not a universal rule.
4. Preserve submission evidence
Keep the confirmation page, email, payment record and official application number after submission. These are personal data and belong in the family's own secure records.
5. Separate later rounds
Create separate tasks for a personal interview, arrangement lookup, first result, second round, final result and registration. The public deadline list covers new-application deadlines only.
6. Recheck before acting
Reopen the official source before submitting, attending or registering. A school can change arrangements or send an applicant-specific time; personal official communication takes precedence over general public information.
Three calendar layers
Do not put every date into the same reminder list
Add only an exact official application deadline that applies to general applicants. Every reminder retains its official source.
Information sessions, open days, tours and event registration remain separate from application deadlines. Attendance does not imply application or admission priority.
Assigned interviews, document requests, results and registration notices stay on the family's device and are not uploaded to the tracker or a public group.
Keep one next action for each shortlisted school
Show only the nearest feasible family action, such as wait for opening, complete submission, check an interview arrangement or verify registration. This family label never changes the school's official application status.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I place last year's dates into this year's calendar temporarily?
No. Previous dates can explain the process but cannot become a 2027/28 reminder, deadline or status. Add a date only after the school publishes the exact current-cycle item.
Which calendar should contain a public interview period?
A published general period can remain in the public process reference. The child's assigned day and time enter the private family calendar only after the personal notice arrives.
Does the application planner submit anything to a school?
No. It keeps public school names and fixed family stages in the current browser. It has no account, free text or application submission.
What if a deadline and maintenance notice fall on the same day?
Keep them separate. The deadline follows the official application limit; maintenance describes only an outage. Allow extra time and recheck the school notice before submitting.
