Hello,


My kid is at K2 level at MK@Gongshang and we live within 1km. SG citizen.
Based on latest stats, how are the chances of getting into GSPS via 2A?

Phase 2A - combination of Phase 2A1, Phase 2A2 and MK@Gongshang is a relatively new thing. It's hard to tell what are the chances but it's certain that Phase 2A will definitely ballot. The question is at what distance priority.
If I'm you, I would probably map out a backup plan for Phase 2C, and Phase 2CS (if necessary).

I believe last year Gongshang ballot 2A 1-2 km.

However, I don't know if the full impact of MK was up and running yet (centre relocated last year)? In addition, as mentioned by others, alumni could still be figuring out where they need / want to be.

Good thing is you are at least guaranteed to ballot in 2A (if < 1 km), and if unsuccessful you can try again in 2C since < 1 km (last year was 45/107 or 42% chance). If that is unsuccessful (2C), you can probably get Tampines North in 2CS, although I don't know if this one will also get tighter due to the BTOs (Angsana ending up balloting in 2CS last year).

Good luck!

Hi parents,


I am eyeing paya lebar methodist for my rooster girl in 2024. We are <1km to plmgs, as well as holy innocents. More inclined to PLMGS. So this will be under phase 2C. What are the chances for rooster year baby? And if it fails, my plan B will be holy innocents, but provided have vacancy. Any input?
Thank you!

Below is the balloting status for both schools in recent years for your info.

2022\t110 applied for 81 places, cut off at <1km
2021\t105 applied for 62 places, ballot <1km
2020\t109 applied for 81 places, cut off at <1km
2019\t108 applied for 88 places, ballot 1-2km

Thanks, LNW for digging out the info!


For shisan’s daughter, Montfort Junior will not be available since it is an all-boys school (for now! Never say never haha)

Good chance to get into PLMGS at 81/110. Backups would be Xinghua and Yio Chu Kang primary, under Phase 2C(S). All the best!

Wow!! Thanks for the info! It’s very helpful. Seems like plan B is out. So when it says 110 applied for 81 slots, these 110 are a mixture of distances from school and that all within 1 km entered the school for 2022 (monkey year babies) ? 2017 birthrate was supposedly low, hopefully that is to my advantage then! I’m just putting my hope in this one. Cross fingers and pray!! :xedfingers:

That's a perennial question. MOE never says if the applicants are all under a certain distance. But if balloting happens for those <1km, and given that schools normally call up those who have no chance to even enter the balloting before the last day of the submission, it is likely that most, if not all of those undergoing balloting are <1km.

If balloting happens >1km, then the number would include those <1km, so those who have to ballot will actually balloting under different odds.
