Hi parents, want to check something about address. The address on my child’s birth cert is different to our home address on our IC. That time we haven’t bought our own house yet. Will it be fine??

Hi hi, what are the chances for SCGS at 2C???

I noticed last year was the first time there was a ballot <2km..
Previous years there were no chance for <2km..
This year?? Any inputs appreciated.
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.

Wow thank you..
I see the picture clearer now.

They only use the parents' address on the NRICs as they should reflect the current address.

Does anyone understand kiasu chiefs’ 2C analysis? Does -30 change in vacancies mean that that particular school will have less places in 2C or more applications this year? Bukit Timah primary has -30 Vacancies, but usually this school has more than sufficient places for phase 2C.

My understanding of -30 relates to the vacancy for the entire school, not merely a reduction of spaces in 2C, eg due to move to single session.

Bukit Timah Primary has more vacancies this year vs. number of last year's registration.

the way i interpreted it as -30 means there is a shortage of 30 seats for phase 2c based on historical take up rate

Chief's has stated this analysis is based on \"the remaining places of each school (which may be changed after the Phase 2B ballot this Friday) against the Phase 2C demand for places in each school last year (2015). This allows us to identify the schools at the greatest risk of oversubscription, should demand remain unchanged this year\".

However, demand might not be the same for this year due to lower birth rate..I pray.. :xedfingers:

I also interpreted it like this.
