Wow!, who would ever guess that registering kids to SG schools can be so interesting. Wish I have one every year to try out different registrations Damn, its so competitive out there... even from primary schools.


Oh, well. At least I am glad that I found a good environment for my kids to go to school.

I wanted to know about the phase 2C supplementary preparation too. Anyone can advise here. What do I need to do for phase 2C supplementary? Do I need to queue early in the morning or overnight on phase 2C supplementary registration day for school that left with few vacancy? Is it base on first come first serve basis?

Phase 2C Supp is still by distance priority and balloting if required.
Only phase 3 is on First-come-first-serve basis.

I have little respect for Boon Lay Garden's principal after he pulled the stunt earlier this year of enforcing that the school canteen should only serve halal food. Aside from the issues of religious tolerance, as a principal, Mr Imran should have considered the consequences of his command before executing it.

I like Juying for its good coverage of the more \"modern\" CCAs like multimedia and robotics. It is a relatively new school (got revived in 1997) has also managed to put a high scoring student on the billboard for last year's PSLE. We may have something here if they can repeat or better the performance this year. Corporation Primary is almost the mirror image of Juying in terms of academic and CCA activities.

Not sure about Pioneer and Lakeside.

Hi ChiefKiasu,

Thanks for the advise and now we are more clear of which school we want to choose from should we fail out from Thursday Balloting :oops: ....

You have a great day ahead :lol:

The news of 2C balloting is out. Congrates to all the parents who manage to get their children to the school of their choice. For those who arein balloting, this means more stress of waiting and frustration.

Congrats! And you are the first parent that I know that wants to do it again and again every year :).

Yes... the ballot roll calls are out. This year's competitive balloting situation is worse than last year's, but not nearly as bad as 2006's. Indeed, all schools which had an average cumulative TUR up to Phase 2B of above 60% did go into a cut-off or balloting situation for under 1km, just like the previous years. The only exception is Pei Hwa Presbyterian, which has a cut-off at under 2km and has a cumulative TUR of 61%. So the average TUR appears to be a good stop-loss measure for future parents trying to determine which school to get outside of the 1km hot zone after Phase 2B. And for parents trying to squeeze into schools outside of the 2km zone, the average TUR dropped to 53% this year (the only exception being Greenridge Primary once again, which has no balloting even at a 55% average TUR).
