It's quite disappointing to see that most sch ballot for <1km. Leaving no chance for those leaving further away.
Some people are lucky to have a few schools to choose from within 2km while some have none even within 1km (read from some ksp posts). So is this a case of poor estate planning by lumping a few schools so close to each other? :?
I would think so. Cos for me, I have 3 schools within 1km and another 3 within 1- 2km, total 6 schools to choose from. Though non are the so called branded schools except for 2, I can't ask for more. -

The next two nearest are at the border which are far & inconvenient.
But I must say is that I am a working mum and I do not work near my home. I enrolled my ds to ccc nearer to my workplace as I don't have the ample time to fetch him home if I park him in the neighborhood. Same situation apply for primary school. I need a sch nearer to my workplace rather near my home. My only hope is ph2b... -

Bt Panjang most likely need balloting for <1km so she doesn't stand a chance.Helping a friend to seek advice...
She is staying within 1km of Greenridge and 1-2km of Bukit Panjang Primary, will be registering her child for phase 2C.
Would you advise that she try Greenridge or Bukit Panjang Primary for next week's registration?
Can anyone advise?
Arigato! -
Thanks for yr advice!

Looking at the balloting situation. Even CHIJ Toa Payoh have to ballot at 1-2km. Whereas in the past it was only more than 2km then need to ballot...looks like some parents took a chance this year after the new rule (20 places in 2B & 2C each) kicked in.
My best wishes and a very good luck to those balloting this Friday. I really hope you can get into the school of choice for your little ones... :salute: -

Wish you all the best. My kid got in at 1-2km in 2010. I'm actually quite surprised, because this hasn't happened in years for IJ TPY (only for more than 2km is a given to ballot). My only guess is it's because of the new rules or because of all the condos sprouting out in TPY and nearby Balestier/Thomson...Good luck :xedfingers: -
Moe shd consider priority for those estates have less choices of primary sch or only one pri sch within 1km or between 1km n 2km. For my estate, only 1 pri sch within 1km n the rest are out of 2km. Haix

If you look at the overall picture, this year's Phase 2B has really not been very competitive, primarily as a result of the 20 extra places reserved from Phase 2A. Many of those going for balloting have better than 50% chance of winning a seat in any of those schools requiring balloting.Looking at the balloting situation.

I think things will change next year, as we start seeing more parents applying at Phase 2A(1) , and as we approach the Year of the Dragon babies. That's when competition will heat up to a fever pitch. -

Isnt that the reason why some estate are being more sort after than others and why family with kids usually prefer to live near schools.
