We didn’t manage to get in the school of choice and likely to end up with above. Which was what we were trying to avoid. It was a hard pill to swallow but wow, when you end up with a dragon baby, I will need the luck and sanity...

U referring to First TPY PS I suppose? I totally feel you as well. Especially when you have a daughter.

I suggest you monitor closely the stats for MC. If got chance for 1-2km, please go for it. As for the other further schools like Mayflower etc, lets see the TUR on Day 1...

You guessed it, thank you! FTPPS, it’s already a mouthful to pronouce for me, anything that is gonna start with a F.

Armed with the figures and stats from PCPS and KCPS and unexpected TUR at MCS (plan B? What? No plan B), I have faith that my home school distance can’t fend off the applicants from TPY North, TPY Sapphire, TPY West, TPY Rise, Bradell View and all the way to the edge of Macritchie/Lornie. It is a loong shot if I were to register. Murphy’s Law in place![/quote]I'll be moving to tpy north year end and I didn't choose FTPPS and choose Guangyang instead.. Not very far off from braddell area.. Perhaps can think about it?

Congrats to all who are successful and for those unsuccessful I can totally understand your feelings as I’m also balloted out during 2A2 phase.

Though I got a seat in 2C, but I’ll still put on waitlist… If got in, it’s a bonus…

Thank you kikimama for your advice and valuable comments… As I’m really quite lost when I’ll being balloted out in 2A2 and also went to KC but was unable to register too…

you are welcome.

there is no choice but to be kiasu...which is why we are in this forum right?

Yes indeed I am....

It depend on schools I think, I called up Kheng Chèng and they say waitlist only starts in September... So better to call up school and checked

She’s an alumni

Means she was a primary school kid in nyps even before she started singing professionally.

[quote=\"floppy\"]She’s from NYPS. Should be under Phase 2A1. Safe from balloting this year.

celebrities hardly have to worry where to register their kids.

NYPS not girls school?

Went KCPS at Toa Payoh to register and they told us we got no good chance as we are above 2km, so I went to GY to register… I quite like the environment, and same mind thinking how come the take up rate is low, I really hope it’s due to the school situated and surrounded by all good schools in Bishan.


Their PSLE scores, their academic wise, their teacher? Should be a more than Avg school?

Anyone has breakdown for Kheng Chèng?


For me I also can't decide if to take the risk go balloting or settle one that is less popular. I got balloted out in phase 2A2 and I'm scared I can't take the 2nd blow..

If you're within 1km to Keng Cheng, you should be safe. Not sure about the breakdown but don't worry so much about the balloting. There will be enough vacancies in other schools in Phase 2C(S), e.g.: Guang Yang, First Toa Payoh, etc. Don't give up on balloting just because of the failed 2A2.

Thanks thanks! Went Kheng Cheng, and they told us even 1-2km will foresee need balloting, so ask me don't waste my time and chance.... So I went GY for registration

Any advice for the following:

1) Kheng Chèng
2) Guangyang
3) First Toa Payoh
All schools are > 2km for me as I'll only be moving around Braddell end of this year....

If Kheng Chèng fails, Guangyang or First Toa payoh will be better? :xedfingers:
