Melodies:

Really! which year?

No alternative, how?

In that case just go for the balloting and hope for the best.

Hi all,


I have just called Hong Wen Sch : 96 seats, 75 within 1km, 21 (1-2km) & none for > 2km)

I was in HW school this morning for other matters, saw that vacancy is 90. the rest of stats are as posted (75 within 1km, 21 (1-2km)).

SCGS has 55 vacancies for Phase 2C and today already 61 applications but 54 within 1 km! Looks like this year even within 1 km also need to ballot! Going to break the P1 Registration record for SCGS where historically within 1 km is always 100% safe.


I am registered for phase 2C within 1 km. Not sure if should withdraw and go for other schools?? any opinion? Help!!

Jen18, you chance of getting into SCGS is very high. As of right now, you are still in. Even if you need to ballot eventually, I think it's worth a try as the school is strong academically , plus your girls have the advantage of going into a good sec school with lower admission critiria. I would give it a go if I were you.

I've registered with NCPS yesterday. Decided to take a chance as I'm living within 1km from the school. It's 159 applications vs 72 vacancies as at yesterday. And definitely more to come. I visited another school Anchor Green (which is even nearer to my house). New school just started 2 years ago. I was thinking to register there if can't get a place at NCPS.


Looking at the statistics for Anchor Green, 88 applications out of 189 vacancies. I now worried whether I can get a place here if balloting unsuccessful at NCPS.

Can I still cancel my registration at NCPS now if I changed my mind? Or shld I just take my chances?

My worry is I might lose on both sides in the end.

For parents vying Maris Stella High Primary, following is the statistics as at 10.20 am :


Number of vacancies : 97
within 1km : 38
1 - 2 km : 41
Outside 2km : 16

Balance : 2 vacancies

Those within 1km very safe to get a place !

About 6 years ago. The year before that, it came close to balloting because the number staying within 1km exceeded places available by ONE place. In the end, the parents of one girl decided to pull out of SCGS and placed their daughter in RGPS instead. The other parents at SCGS were ever so thankful.

I am in the same situation as you.
