Yes, demand is indeed noticeably lower this year, but I haven't calculated that yet. There was a big rush to Raffles Girl's Primary on the last day... which resulted in it being oversubscribed for those staying more than 2km away. But still, I think it is a worthwhile switch.

I think RGPS case was partly due to last year's 95 applicants SC < 1km balloting for 90 places. Hence, interested parties this year, especially those > 1km, have probably held back till the last day to make sure there are some vacancies before applying.

ACSJ was a bit of a surprise.

Agree. I also wonder why rgdg ACSJ. Rental prices too unaffordable now?

I doubt rent is a factor.

Considering that both ACSJ and SJIJ are balloting for SC > 2km, I wonder some of those ACSP SC < 1km are feeling a little silly for not shifting to these two schools.

ACSJ is very surprising... Perhaps pple don't want to travel to Tengah in 2030? This coming P1 batch will be P6 in 2030, but I thought parents would still rather adapt than not to apply for the school at all

CHIJ TPY also quite surprising to me… Balloting 1-2km… Same goes for Maha Bohdi though a little bit less surprising.

ACSJ is not the one moving to Tengah. ACSP is.

Which is why i’m also wondering like floppy, why did the <1km folks pick ACSP over ACSJ? GEP status still more important than future kids/grandkids having to travel to Tengah?

?? What’s the surprise with ACSJ? It has moderately more applicants this year (10) compared to last year. Apart from that, I’m not sure.

The distance for which balloting occurred? Anyway there are several schools which the balloting distance shifted, I wonder if it's because there are less people in the cohort vs the seats offered? I didn't look hard into the data though, so just thinking aloud.

I can tell you that many parents still unaware of this moving to Tengah news. Just like how certain popular schools historically need to ballot for SC < 1 KM at Phase 2C yet still got parents >2KM still want to try try their luck at 2C. :rahrah:
