All About Primary Schools' Balloting History

[CLOcean]

Anyone keep a print screen/screenshot of MOE Website - Phase 3 vacancy table?


Appreciate you can share with me. Thanks!

can someone here enlighten me?

for p1 registration how does the new 40 places going to work?
-set aside 40 places then Phase 1 then phase 2A(1) and (2) then any leftover then divide to phase 2b and phase 2c?

or
-set aside 40 places then phase 1 then split leftover into half to phase 2A remaining go to later phase ? then the 40 places later add back to the later phase?

if its like how i analyzed above as the first scenario then all phase 2 A will still confirm get places right?

After Phase 1, 40 places will be set aside for P2B/P2C. Then, P2A1, etc., begin.

Hi,


So does it mean that by looking at the history of balloting exercise for phase 2C for 2014 intake, only for SC within 1 Km away can try register for that primary school? If residing within 1-2km, no need to try registering in that school?

I do not have any school within 1km away...

If you do not have any schools within 1km away, there are still schools that accept SC within 1 to 2km, and some without ballots.

If you do not have any schools within 1 to 2km, or do not want to face the ballots, there are also schools that accept SC > 2km without ballot.

It's just a matter of prioritising what you want.

Thanks for the reply… So it is the school that decides if there should be balloting made and set criteria on it too? In fact the primary school that I had in mind is the nearest to us… Within 1-2 Km. But if based on previous yr record, the balloting is done for SC residing 1km away, meaning I had no chance at all? Thanks in advance!

The school doesn't decide on this. At the beginning of the P1 registration, every school has a finite number of places. So, it depends on the number of places taken up in earlier phases.

If balloting is only for SCs staying within 1 km of the school, you will be wasting your P2C chance if you insist on applying with the school even though you stay 1-2 km away from the school.

Having said that, statistics are statistics. Registration situation differs every year. So, you need to keep track.

Ok… Thanks… Felt so demoralising…

Balloting will be conducted for SC children residing outside 2km of the school.]

My house is within 1-2 km, does this means need to ballot too?
For ppl who are church members, they can skip the balloting process and to phase 2B directly?
