Anyone know the TUR for Holy Innocent Primary School for Phase 2B for past two years? Between 1 to 2km got chance?

Last year was the registration for dragon year babies and the first year MOE implemented the electronic balloting process centralized at MOE:
All SC staying within 1KM had to ballot so all PR and SC >1KM no chance at all. Imagine my horrors when on the last day of the P2C the application count went overdrive - Cannot sleep well at all.
I had initially set my sight on HI (this needs balloting too) but the schools is more academic driven and i do not want to stress my son (and myself) out. So far still very pleased with PPS , its caring teachers and the activities they had.

Oh wow, thanks for the info. All SC balloting within 1km sounds scary. I will check out the parent volunteer scheme for the school. Appreciate the feedback on the school as well. :thankyou:

I'm considering PPS after reading up on their achievements and MOE awards received. Strange why the take up rate is so low for this school considering how well they have done. Anyone knows why? And any idea between PPS and Xinmin, which is better?

For past years, phase 2C has been overscribed ever since they have been awarded so many achievements by MOE.
I could not find out more about PPS too beforehand and did not bother with any volunteer work. Then I became one of the parents who have to go through the heart stopping balloting process last year. 😂

Sounds nerve-racking. I saw from 2017 tur that only PR less than 1km needed to ballot in phase 2C. How was it last year? Did SC had to ballot? Trying to get a gauge for SG50 babies. Had my sight set on Holy Innocent initially for Hougang area but now kind of swaying towards PPS.
