I can send him to school daily but concern about the morning traffic at 6.30am. If move house, ubi area is all the old houses (30+yrs), kind of too old to buy.[/quote]

MBS is quite near to Ubi MRT station on the DTL. Possible to expand the options to nearby DTL stations if taking public transport.

on the looks of it so far, there should not be balloting for all bukit merah schools prior to phase 2C. For 2C, APS looks likely to be balloting within 1km SC, likely RMPS as well. ZDPS could be safe for all SC, if not it will just balloting for >2km folks.

If you have a first choice, remember your own threshold for risk and have backup plan.

i just took a quick look at
https://beta.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/vacancies-and-balloting/
and it is currently showing vacancies for phase 2A(1). Where can i see places taken up for Phase 1?

It appears that MOE has erased all the previous data for Phase 1 since it’s now over. Looks like they intend to display only the current phase.

Irritating to the max & super user-unfriendly + parent-unfriendly, their new website. But that’s my own opinion.

So people who are monitoring/counting down, better to screenshot the relevant pages at the end of each phase. Keep your own Excel sheet of numbers for those schools you’re interested in.[/quote]

making us like race horse (only can look straight and bash through)

Well I live with 1km of aps and that looks like my best chance. RMPS will be 2nd choice but that will be <2km. Chij kellock and river valley both are > 2km. Am SC. Looks like my best bet is still with aps. Amy advice? Kinda hard to come up with a backup plan if I fail at the aps ballot considering all the other school choices have no phase 2C supplemental vacancies historically… thoughts?

within 2C, RMPS and RVPS are poor 2nd choice, both has poorer chance or no chance. CHIJ Kellock wise, maybe safe for all SC this year, need more confirmation as need the 2B folks to fill in the numbers first. SMPS look a good choice for alternative as well in 2C.

APS ratio maybe around 1.3 applicant : 1 slot.

You are left with little choice after 2C.

Thanks for your thoughts. Looks like there is really no backup plan. It’s all in, one shot chance at 2c for either RMPS or aps. If fail and no 2cs available Ard my area I wonder what will happen?.will be funny if Moe finds a place for my kid say in…Jurong or punggol?
