2017 P1 Registration Exercise for 2018 In-Take

BigDevil:

Good luck with your PV application at Hong Wen,

because failing that, you can pretty much leave Hong Wen
out of the equation.

For the past several years, Hong Wen had needed to
ballot for those living within 1km in phase 2C. Since your
home is in the 1-2km range, you won't get to ballot at all.

You can see Hong Wen balloting history http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/kallang.

Hi, thanks for your reply and info.

So let's say we apply for PV at Hong Wen, while waiting for results, should we also prepare to go for Phase 2B for Farrer Park or St. Margaret (join church? Both hubby and I are not Anglicans)? Still in dilemma which is a better second choice if Hong Wen fails, Farrer Park or St. Margaret...

We have so limited choices around our house area, unlike the bigger estates.

Is your child a Singapore Citizen?


If she is, then she looks quite safe for both St Margaret's and Farrer Park
for phase 2C.

St Margaret's required balloting only for PR for past 2 years (http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/central)
while Farrer Park still has plenty of spaces available after phase 2CS (http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/kallang)

After much discussion and deliberation over the past few weeks (yes we've been too chill and only just started to realize the very limited options we have around our house :slapshead: ), we've decided to go with Hong Wen as 1st choice for our eldest girl, have submitted PV application for Hong Wen and are looking to move within 1km of the school (currently 1-2km).


If our PV application is unsuccessful, does anyone know if joining grassroots will help us get into P2B of Hong Wen? If so how do we go about doing that and is there any deadline?

Our current plan is to hopefully get into P2B of Hong Wen, failing which then go thru balloting in P2C of Hong Wen (with our new <1km address). If both unsuccessful then we'll go for Haig Girls which did not have balloting in P2C(S) last year.

Currently leaving Farrer Park out even though it will also be within 1Km of our new place, but we'll see how it goes with the above two.

Based on your previous info:
#Daughter (eldest)
#born 2011

It's too late (by at least a year) for you to go via the grassroots route.

Hello Parents,


Looking for schools for 2017 Registration for 2011 born child.

As Child is SPR and PV options are closed in Compassvale Primary :-(, left with only Phase 2C.
I stay within 1km radius from Sengkang Primary, Anchor Green, Compassvale and SpringDale.

Which would be the best school to opt for 2C?

Thanks.

my child born in 2011. He is not Singapore PR. He should be classified as phase 3. If I am planning to send him to study in Singapore, what should I have to prepare now? Which school may have more vacancies in phase 3? How can I check the remaining seats of each school this year in different phases? Please help~~

There's nothing you can do or prepare for now *
Which school has more vacancies in Phase 3 today/in the past is meaningless data to you since the government isn't obliged to maintain the same number of students or even carry over any available vancancies from Phase 2Cs to Phase 3.

* the only things you can prepare for is look at alternatives in the event that you failed to secure a place in Phase 3 such as cost, transport, curriculum, etc - school back home, international school, school in Johor Bahru, etc.

If you're SC and could get into Phase 2B in ACSP, you might get a chance.

If you're SC and could only get into Phase 2C, your chance is higher with SJIJ.

If you're SPR, your chance is very low (almost none) to get to both schools.
