Hi MMM,


Thanks for your clarification. Oh my....theres balloting for phase 2b this yr? Had check the past few yrs, I think there is no balloting needed, was feeling quite relieve, but now....

Ya... any parents who took the buddhist federation route, could you pls share?? Anyone??

Yes, historically, it matched beautifully. 55 open and 55 applied. But this year, there was balloting. With the citizens having priority over PR, it sort of change the game. As a citizen outside 2km will still have priority over a PR within 1km.

This year's balloting for phase 2B goes to those Singaporean who stayed beyond 2KM from the school.

Ok... but however for those staying within 1km still have higher chance than those tat stay >2km even when balloting is open to ppl staying >2km right?? Just check e MOE website which give an example if applicants is more than vacancies in phase 2b. More than 50% of e vacancies would be taken by ppl staying within 1km and 1-2km. Wondering if next yr registration theres balloting, would it be too risky for me? Hopefully there wont be balloting.

The remaining seats after phase 2A are allocated to the applicants in the following order:
1) Singaporean within 1KM
2) Singaporean within 2KM but more than 1KM
3) Singaporean beyond 2KM
4) PR within 1KM
5) PR within 2KM but more than 1KM
6) PR beyond 2KM

The risk level for Singaporean within 1 KM is still quite low unless the remaining seats is less than the total number of Singaporean applicants who stay within 1KM. In this case, you still have a chance to ballot instead of straight away out of the game for the rest of the categories.

If you refers to the statistical information on Singapore's birth rate, you will know that it will be more competitive as compared to this year. ->

Based on this year's result if you are staying beyond 2KM, there will be risk. You need to start planning for alternative school as well in case you did not get a seat in phase 2B.

Hi hellokittyspore,

Thanks for your information. Had started looking for alternative school in my area after knowing there is balloting for this yr.

My Gal will be in P1 Next year… and in Year 2018 she will be in P6…

My second gal will be in P1 in year 2019. So registration will be in Year 2018.

Will I fall into

Phase 1 : For a child who has a sibling studying in the primary school of choice
or
Phase 2A(2) : For a child whose parent or sibling has studied in the primary school of choice

I know i really Kiasu but jus curious… lolx

i think still under phase 1

Yes, you are right. Since P1 registration happens when the older child is still in the school, it should be under phase 1.
