2014 P1 Registration Exercise for 2015 In-Take

I am confused. Any idea why MOE posted ACSP 35 applicants vs 32 vacancies for 2B, but on 23/7 ballot updates say,


\"The school only has places for SC children residing within 2km of the school in this phase. No balloting will be conducted.\"

what happen to the extra 3 applicants? or does it mean all 35 get in despite there are only 32 vacancies?

That means there were exactly 32 SC applicants staying within 2km of ACSJ for the 32 vacancies offered at Phase 2B. The other 3 applicants are either PR or SCs staying beyond 2km.

So this is not confusing. The one that is confusing is Temasek Primary where it says \"all children are admitted\" and there is \"no balloting\", even though there were 27 applicants for 26 vacancies. Perhaps someone withdrew from the school just after the end of the Phase 2B exercise at 4:30pm, hence opening up another space for the Phase 2B parents.

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:

Thank you! It happened only at 1 other year in 2012, balloting for 1-2km for phase 2B but less competitive, 18 applicants for 16 places then.

All the best to parents who need to ballot on Friday. I am feeling the nerves 1 year in advance!

does balloting for Phase 2B take place across Singapore schools tomorrow at different timing? There wont be any school conducting the ballot today?

Yes, all balloting for phase 2B to be conducted tmr, each school decide their own timing, usually in the morning.
