Hi


We are left with the following options for 2CS and all 3 schools are in the 1-2 km range.
1. Sembawang Primary - 16
2. Wellington Primary - 39
3. Woodlands Ring Primary - 34

Accessibility wise, all 3 schools are almost the same. Which of these schools has a good holistic approach, as well as a healthy academic environment? Which one should we go for? Thanks.

Can I just check for school with less than 10 seats left and I'm within 1km have a higher risk in balloting and cant get in? Or should I just go ahead with 80+ seats available within 1km?

If there are Eg. 8 seats left and you still want to try, then u have to go down and monitor on the last day, how many other applicants are there <1km? If there are exactly 8 applicants <1km going for 8 seats, then of course there is no balloting and all of u go in fine. But if suddenly one more appears before closing time, then you will be subject to balloting. Decide if u want to take the risk.

If u have another school with 80+ seats and also <1km, of course it seems safer. Just double check that there are not 80+++ applicants for that school lor.

LaraC, i guess you are refering to Fern Green/Anchor Green. If that's the case, there will be lots of spillover from Nan Chiau, so i suggest you don't try Fern Green. Even Anchor Green might be overwhelming. Probably monitor Anchor Green/Fernvale/Seng Kang.[/quote]Guess I better just go for anchor green since I'm within 1km. Ferngreen seems too risky to take.. haiz..

I think given that there are only 7 seats, balloting within 1km is almost a guaranteed.

Hi experts, can you withdraw the seat secured in 2c and go for another school in 2cs? Admission not secured on priority.

Thanks

Frankly speaking, in Phase 2CS, those are not exactly the questions that you should be concerned about. At this point, it's probably better to just drink the kool-aid and believe in 'every school, a good school'.

Go for the one that's guaranteed (or more or less guaranteed) you a place. You risk SC < 1km pushing you out, or pushing you into a ballot situation for Sembawang, while the other 2 are probably safe. I would keep an eye on Wellington and Woodlands Ring and go for them if the coast is clear.

You can withdraw a seat in Phase 1, 2A1, 2A2, 2B or 2C to go for another school in Phase 2CS.
BUT seriously, why the f*** would you do that?! :scratchhead:

Thank you, for your opinion. That's true, at this stage, it's more about survival than choice. 😓
Just that as a worried parent, if I have a choice, I would like to make an informed decision within the limitations.

I would be glad if some of the experts/parents could let me know reviews of any of these 3 schools.
1. Sembawang Primary
2. Wellington Primary
3. Woodlands Ring Primary
