Thank you all for your replies! Much appreciated. May I know if there’s a site that shows history of balloting for the phase 2CS schools?
Check http://www.sgschooling.com it has lots of useful information and past data.

Near Bishan, phase 2CS schools are usually only left with Townsville and Theck Ghee.

Wow thank you! I didn’t know they provide live info on the number of 1km applicants via these chats? Also, if I apply for 2B alumni for KCP before that and withdraw to apply for 2C on the last day, is there any penalty or lowered chances? Thank you so much for your responses and info. Appreciate it a lot 🙏🏻
The only penalty is that you would lose your Phase 2B school should you get balloted out in Phase 2C. Then, you will have to choose your 3rd choice school for Phase 2C(S). For me, I just think it is not worth the risk, but I guess different people have different risk profiles.

I suppose you can gather live info on CH whatsapp or telegram groups during Phase 2C registration to see how many 1km applicants there are and analyze the odd on the last day.

I guess different people have different risk profiles. Personally speaking, to be \"safe\", I would go for KCPPS in Phase 2B, then wait to see if it is worthwhile to withdraw and take my risk in CHS in Phase 2C. Most times, I would just stay in KCPPS rather than to risk not getting a preferred school at all... 😂

I would still go for Catholic High as it's a school that's worth the risk. But of course need to go in with open mind and even more importantly, you must be comfortable and at peace with your 2CS backup school.

Hello fellow parents,

Can I ask what the chances are of putting my child in Cat High primary for phase 2C, <1km? I’m considering between that and KCPPS (Alumni, <1km). I prefer Cat High but I’m wondering if it’s too risky to forego my chance at the earlier phase for KCPPS in order to try for Cat High at phase 2C.

Any thoughts or advice to share please? Thank you!

your chance of balloting into Catholic High Junior is only … 50 percent. The balloting at CHS (Phase 2C, open to public), is very intense !


Why?

Because

everything depends on your own luck, on that balloting day … Is either an "in" or an "out".

So, always prepare a backup school in Phase 2C Supp, just in case.

If you do not wish to take risk, then, just stick to Kuo Chuan Presbyterian primary school under Phase 2A, since you are an alumni. Then seek Transfer later on to CHS, during P1 to P3.

KCPS is also a good school.

My boy has been admitted to CHS for P1 in 2024. As working parents, we are also looking for his after school care.
Any parent here has any feedback on its school based student care (Commit Learning Schoolhouse) please? Thank you so much for taking time to reply. 🙂

If your K2 son is a SC living outside 2 km,
there is no guarantee that
he can come back safely to Catholic High primary school, in the event of balloted out.
Hence,
need to prepare a backup school in Phase 2B / 2C, just in case.

Hi, just to check is there \"express\" class in P1?

I've talked to seveval parents from different classes, their kid's class learning progress seems are different, most of class are having common/similar pace except one class (having faster pace and even some additional materials ), that's the background of my question above. Thanks
As far as i know, this is not the case for catholic high. At least not when my boy was in P1.

There isn't any streaming in Catholic High. Just as like any other primary school, some teachers do more and some do less that's all.
