All About Primary Schools' Balloting History

[TENTEN]

Hi,


I am a little confused… I’m interested in St Nicks, but am only qualified for Phase 2B, >2km, so I don’t stand a chance at all, right?

However, from my understanding of the ballot results in 2008, it shows that balloting was conducted twice - once in Ph 2B <1km and once in Phase 2C <km? Why is that?

TEN TEN, they divide the number of places left after Phases 1 and 2 : half to 2B and half to 2C. Hence there were 2 ballotings done. For your case, since u stay out of 2km, you dont stand a chance at all as both ballotings were conducted for those staying within 1km only.

Ah, I see… thanks for enlightening me, Luanee!


In this case, what are my DD’s chances for Holy Innocents Pri (since St Nic’s definitely no chance) if I live within 2km and qualify for Phase 2B?

Hi,

I'm looking at the balloting history for Holy inncent @ hougang for the past 2yrs. Under Phrase 2B, balloting is required for >2km? for ex, if i'm staying 1-2km and under phrase 2B, chances is good?

if i'm under 2C, not even need to think about it Embarassed


There has been balloting in the last 2 years for HI in Phase 2B for those staying beyond 2km only. But this has been trending up, so do take caution even if you are at 1-2km in Phase 2B.[/quote]Oh sorry, didnt read above, guess my question has been answered :oops:

I am looking at the balloting history for TPY area and noted :
1. St andrews junior under phase 2C was yellow, ie. Balloting required for 1-2km YEAR 2008.
>>does that mean those who fall within 1km need not have any balloting done and got a place? I am abt 700m away.

I'm an ex student from HIPS, but then is so far away for my kids to study there as we shifted out from the area...sigh.

Hi chiefKS,


thank you for your reply! Then so means :

1. Phase 2C - no need to do PV, stay within 1 km and still mged to get a place in 2008?

If yes, then gotta see the trend for the upcoming years, coz my son will be gg P1 in year 2015…Am hoping and praying hard he will get in st andrews, without me doing PV…

At one point, I was hoping to get my ds2 into SAJS too! I think my boy will love their rugby programme! But alas... i am staying half way across SG, although I can go the option of parking my boy at my mum's place (1-2km away from SAJS) and go get a job.
Anyway, do note any upcoming development around SAJS...they'll contribute to the statistics.

And I thought sourcing for school for my 2006 boy is already kiasu enough....yours is 2008.....

Hi jedamum


whatda mean "Anyway, do note any upcoming development around SAJS…they’ll contribute to the statistics."

do you have any information if they accept PV etc etc?

Hi jedamum

what i meant is that since your registration is only in 2014, there is a good 5 yrs from now - do note any upcoming residential development around SAJS as these will add to the numbers of applicants vying for the limited seats.
think you have to call them up to enquire about PV, as it is not surprising that some christians/mission schools don't accept PV as they don't want a case of balloting at phase 2B where the church members (you can expect a lot of applicants from this group) have to compete with the pvs.
