OK, consideration for 2B (Catholic) PR > 2km, for twin boy and girl. Is there any chance for PR balloting in 2B for SJI Junior and CHIJ TP? Since we qualify for 2B anyway, but I was told usually SC have to ballot. I also don't know what we will do if one of them gets in... do we pull out and stick to co-ed options, or try another school nearby so school run won't be mad...

Backup for 2C is Bukit Timah (further away) or Queenstown (nearby), both which are co-ed. I quite like the mix of nationalities in BTPS but worried it is quite small and further away. QTPS don't know much, but seems bigger and its nearby, although I see a lot of construction happening. Is QTPS popular? I hear BTPS is safe. I didn't hear much about NewTown so not considering. Appreciate your views on the 2C options. We stay <1km QTPS/NYPS.

Both SJI and CHIJ TPY will be filled up with SC during 2B, do not consider.

Have you considered de lasalle? Co ed catholic school. Both kids can go same school and you can secure during 2B

Yes, but was concerned about distance. Hence why we considered BTPS or QTPS. We are catholic, but the options seem far from where we live and I think distance plays a impt factor

Schools left with less than 30 vacancies (excluding 40 vacancies for p2b and p2c)

Catholic High School 7

CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School 20

Eunos Primary 23

Juying Primary School 27

Methodist Girls’ School 23

Nan Hua Primary School 8

Nanyang Primary School 10

Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School 24

Red Swastika School 29

Rosyth School 23

These numbers might still change due to people opting out. -amended, missed out 2 schools earlier

Phase2A(2) numbers are out. There are a few schools came under 30 to my surprise or did i missed them earlier?

Saw the numbers too. So these are final numbers considering any withdrawals, or can Phase 1 and 2A1 parents still withdraw?

Thanks all for the insight re CHIJs too. :snuggles:

Need advise as I’m in a Dilemma. I’m currently trying Rosyth Primary under 2A2 but the take up rate is pretty high and we might end up balloting. So if we don’t get a seat, my other choices...

1) nan Chiau Primary (within 1km)
2) St Gabriel Primary (more than 2KM)

Actually St Gab also falls under 2A2 but we went ahead with Rosyth instead.

Would u think we might stand a chance for nan Chiau ? The applicant rates Super high and it’s worrying too.

Hopefully we succeed with Rosyth but gotta prepare for the worse scenario too.

Depending on how oversubscribed is rosyth in 2a2 and if u are within 1km away. If not u may not even have a chance to ballot. Then u will have to consider st gabs for a confirmed seat. U can forget about nan chiau if u are going for phase 2c as it’s as good as striking lottery if u are successful

Best to register Rosyth and standby on 2nd day afternoon to withdraw and change to St. Gab if applicants <1km too overwhelming.

Get in Phase 2B 1st then consider later in 2C. Both affiliated to Sec Sch which is also a big consideration.

Every year same for Rulang 2C <1km, hot balloting.

Now TUR 63% till 2A1, 2B and 2C probably less than 30 places each.

[carindale]

I be registering under Phase 2B SC>2km for CHIJ OLN.

Base on past history so far, there is no ballot required.

Worried if I should have a backup plan in case worst happens.

Thanks for the replies to my earlier queries about TKPS. I am not quoting the thread to save screen space

Wanted to understand the application and withdrawal \"tricks\" in phase 2C.
MOE Website lists phase 2C registration as
Online registration : From 29 July 2019 to 31 July 2019
Registration at school : From 30 July 2019 to 1 August 2019

1) Does this means I have a choice to do online registration or do the registration at school?

2) If can register at school (from day 2), means I can wait till end of day one and check the websites who show number of applicants at end of day 1, to decide whether to risk for my 1st choice or activate the 2nd choice by going to school directly on day 2 or 3.
https://balloting.xyz does seem to have updates per day for this year.
Are there other sites as well, we can follow? Seems calling the school to ask for updates might not work all the time.

3) Can I register for a school on day 2 and based on end of day 2 stats go to the school and withdraw on day 3 and go to 2/3 choice on day 3 itself ? I understand we need to withdraw application before registering for a new school. Is this withdraw and new application process possible within the same phase? or I must wait for phase 2C results and withdraw and register during 2CS

In other chat groups it seems lot of parents are registering and withdrawing easily. So I was wondering if this \"gaming\" the system really works.
Thanks in advance for guidance / feedback.
