Queenstown Pri is not at risk of balloting in Phase 2C. You can go ahead in Phase 2C if it is your preferred choice.

It depends on your choice really, personally I would choose CHIJ for their affiliation.

Easy.
Phase 2C > 2km for ACS (Junior) = 0% chance.

Since you are going to register your boy next year for P1, it would be advisable to visit the MOE webpage and read up about P1 Registration so that you gain a better understanding of the entire registration system.

ACS (Junior) has all along been a very popular school and for Phase 2C, those who stand the best chance to get in at this phase are those who live within 1 km of the school. Even for this year where birth rate is amongst the lowest, balloting is conducted for those living within 1 km of the school.

So if you are still keen to register for ACS (Junior) next year, you could consider moving nearer to the school to increase your chances. Otherwise, consider other school options for your boy. Now is a good time to do all your homework and take your time to find out about other schools which may be of interest to you and your boy.

All the best.

Hi parents,


My son born in Sep’2011, I am thinking of registering him under Phase 2A2 with Kheng Cheng.

Any1 enrolling the same school?

The problem for me is I live Yio Chu Kang area, my wrkplc in toa payoh. My plan was to send him to sch b4 I rch office. However, my concern is if the school gets busier as he proceed to upper primary.

Any1 know if I can checkout schools around my area under Phase 2 even after registering him under Phase 2A2 in another school?

Yes you can still register for Phase 2C after you secure a place in Phase 2A2, but you'll have to withdraw your application first. If you don't intend to send him to KC, perhaps you should just skip Phase 2A2 to minimize the trouble and to give others the chance to register.

I don't understand your concern regarding the school gets busier though...
