2016 P1 Registration Exercise for 2017 In-Take

[zac's mum]

MommyK:

Does anyone know the phase 2B breakdown for St Andrew's Junior?

Why do u wish to know? My info is as at 12 noon on 2nd day of phase 2B: 14 SC <1km (all got in)...and at least 33 SC >2km. Not sure how many more applied/withdrew during the afternoon period.

Are u one of those >2km having balloting on Friday? Surely the school would have informed u of how many in total competing for how many seats?

What are the chances for phase 2C at Sjij. Am SC living within 1km. Experts pls help.

SC children living within 1 km of school have first priority to get into the school. Worst case scenario, they will still qualify for balloting. This is better than many others (those beyond 1 km or further may not even stand a chance to ballot if SC applicants within 1 km exceeds the number of vacancies available).

So, if you are keen on the school, can try.

The TUR for 2016 so far in the area look strikingly similar to 2012. That year, SJIJ ballot for 1-2km. But having said that, there is an outside chance of a ballot within 1km, which happened once in the past 10 year history (year 2011).

and one more thing, Miren, the similarity applies to ACS P as well. Let's not forget the leftover (6) for 2b within 1km for ACS P would probably try again in 2C, so it seem more challenging for ACS P.

Hi MommyK! There are 35 vying for 27 slots within Phase 2B for SAJS. Found out from school

[Miren]

That is my only concern. Oh God

Thank you.

Last year, the balloting for SCGS at 2C is for >2km.

http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/novena was 69% which was one of the lowest in the last 10 years. This year, the 2016 2B TUR is 76%, and if you look at the past history, whenever the 2B TUR goes above 70%, there will be balloting within 1km for SCGS.

The closest to this year's pattern is 2010, where there was balloting within 1km.

So, my bet is on SCGS having to ballot within 1km this year for P2C.
