Hi Alice118,
I am a newbie here but after exploring the sticky threads and asking around I think I have some sort an idea what to expect this coming July. According to this thread, which past history, shows what to expect in different phases. It took me some time to absorb but dun worry you have ample time till July :xedfingers: .http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/tampines. Here in this thread you can actually previous which phases requires balloting and how high your chances will be.

If your girl doesn't get into SHPS during P2C, you are only able to choose schools that still have vacancies in P2CS. Last year, for instance, both Poi Ching and Tampines were fully subscribed at P2C, so these schools did not even have any P2CS. Balloting in Poi Ching took place for SCs staying within 1 km of the school. Hence you would not even have a chance to participate in the balloting.

Poi Ching require balloting for less than 1 km.
U dont even stand a chance to ballot for a place, if stay outside 1 km.

St Hilda also ballot, for less than 1 km.

Tampines primary :
also need balloting at Phase 2C : 1 to 2 km (PR)

3 schools mentioned : all need to ballot at P2C
St Hilda, Poi Ching, Tampines :
all full house, by end of Phase 2C.

If fail to ballot in at Phase 2C : can only go forward next for P2C Supp schools.
must have backup standby schools ready, for Phase 2C Supp, check here

Hi,


A good friend just brought this to my attention. Wondering if that would be a problem

we are currently living in Tampines with our parents, we have recently (1 month ago) gotten keys to our new home in Punggol.

We are however not planning to move until 1-2 years later. Does it mean that this year, when my daughter is due to register for Primary school, I can and should be applying for Tampines right?

please advise as I really dont know what i should do or whom i should ask to clarify this matter
