Sad to say, there are no Christian schools that are available to her because they are all very popular. There are 2 Catholic schools that she can consider:

Montfort Junior is very safe, easy to get in: http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/hougang

St Gabriel's depends on yearly demand, some years PR outside 2km cannot get in: http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/serangoon

Wish her all the best!

FYI, last year, balloting for PR children was only conducted in 8 schools for those living within 1 km of the school and another 6 for those living between 1 km and 2 km of the school.

The 3 mission schools which conducted balloting for PR children living between 1 km and 2 km of the school were:

- Geylang Methodist School (Primary)
- St Margaret's Primary School
- St Stephan's School

However, things may be different this year. So it would be best your friend monitor the MOE webpage at the end of each registration day for Phase 2C and call up the school which her son may stand a chance to get in.

All the best!!

If we apply for school A at Phase 2A2, can we withdraw and apply at school B during Phase 2C?

What about St. Stephen's? It's a boys-only school though.

Is 2C now 4-day exercise until Friday? Online Closes by Thursday? Will MOE update registration details from today onward? Please share the details if you have any.

Yes.

Myself and my daughter are SPR, so my chances will be very less in the schools like Horizon, Mee Toh, CHIJ Nativity, PLMGS etc which I am aiming and 2 km away from almost all except PLMGS SPR within 1 km. I wanted to apply on the last day after knowing where I can have better chances. But it looks like online application which is easy to do is closing by Thursday? So I must go to school to apply on Friday? Any advise please?

Your chances are not very low for the schools listed - it is no chance at all. So, you can eliminate those schools. You would have to re select, and it's better to choose unpopular schools within 1km to maximise the probability as a PR. You may want to consider schools like Xinghua, Yio Chu Kang, Punggol Primary.

It will probably be safer to apply in person on Friday in case there's a surge in applications, especially from SC. You can still proceed to your next option.

Yup, seems like online registration starts a day early and ends a day early. So, if you want to register in person (to get a better understanding of the vacancies), it seems to make sense to register on Friday at the school itself.
