question on behalf of friend who is PR:- if >2km at phase 2C, what are the best choices for schools for boys (including co-ed)? as the friend is christian (non-catholic), are there any chances for christian schools (including co-ed)?

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!

thanks zac's mum for the info!
we were talking about this issue that day and i was clueless on how to know more...

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!!

thanks applecrumble for the info and breakdown! guess there's some hope here... GMPS looks to be the best option to monitor for a Christian non-Catholic school then... :boogie:

St Stephen's this year, good chance for Singapore PR as there is a whopping 30 more places compared to previous years. That is equivalent to 1 class size! Unless Singapore Citizens decided to avoid balloting and go for this school.[/quote]thanks orb for the analysis! alas, st stephen's doesn't look to be her choice school.

I don’t want to sound like I’m ruffling any feathers but I think PR shouldn’t be choosy in 2C. Just go for the school that offers the best chance of getting in. When it comes to phase 2CS, the options are further limited as SC would be scrambling for the last available slots in whatever primary school there is.

Orb, I kinda agree too. But I guess with the number of surprise vacancies this year, everyone can be more selective about the schools out there.

All the best for those who are registering their kids under Phase 2C!

There is no update on MOE website on the number of registered application. Did any one tried calling up schools to check if they have the figure from online applications?

Since P1 registration officially starts today, MOE will update the website usually by 8pm tonight.
