skyjp:

out of curiosity, if it is over the vacancy,would those over2KM SC get in first or the PR below 2KM get in first?

SC over 2km will get in first, followed by PR<1km.

Hi Fettuccine, I presume you're staying around East Coast Area. Base on my opinion, Ngee Ann Primary School is better than Tanjong Katong Primary School. Moreover Ngee Ann is affliciated to Ngee Ann Secondary School (good sec school). Another school you may consider is Saint Stephen School which is afflicated to St Patrick's School & St Joseph's Institution. But SSS students are not very good in Chinese. Majority are Anh Mohs in the School. But it still base on your child's capability. I notice alot of parents just register their child in top school without thinking whether the child is able to cope anot. At the end of the day, the one that suffers is the kid and the parents will get stress by the competition in school.

My best pick is Ngee Ann.
St Stephen's n TKPS is not in my radar cos of the reviews I heard about them.

Just been to Haig Girls.

Admin staff told me as of 9.30, registration exceeded 89. She mentioned she doesn’t have the exact breakdown but there is high chance sc > 2km needs balloting.
There is no crowd at Haig Girls but they are expecting it to increase this afternoon.

SC Parents that are > 2km, lets keep our fingers crossed and pray hard

Oh, If the same situation as last yr repeat this yr. Haig Girls will have a risk of sc>2km going into balloting. There was a sudden surge of of applicants on 3rd day afternoon last yr.

I was told by the Principle during the open house that they took in all SC last year, so there is no balloting conducted.
I am one of those that is > 2km, so stressful now.
Praying hard hard.
