All About Primary Schools' Balloting History

[phtthp]

key_word08:

Hi, I see. Noted. So meaning if by day 3 if balloting is more or less confirm needed for SC<1KM in Frontier, I must go ahead to withdraw my registration under frontier and proceed to apply in Jurong West primary right?

just bear in mind that balloting bears risk !

consequences :-
in the event fail to ballot into Frontier successfully at Phase 2C, then you'll end up enrolling your kid in whatever residual, remaining vacancies are left behind, in those schools left under next phase for enrollment (ie. Phase 2C Supplementary)

If u are risk adverse : then just enrol your kid smoothly into Jurong West primary at 2C, if no balloting is required.

whether you want to take risk or not, at 2C : is up to you.

But, why u need to withdraw ?
No need to withdraw, since both schools fall under Phase 2C, in your case ?
on the LAST day of Phase 2C, during the last few hours left in the afternoon, u decide, carefully, which school u want -
if want to try your luck, at balloting : enrol into Frontier

But, if u are risk adverse: then, enrol into Jurong West

Hi there, I have been reading up the KSP forum to understand more about the P1 registration process. Great site n lots of useful advices. However could anyone point to me or advise me for P2B if there were balloting at Nanhua primary, Henry Park primary and Fairfield Methodist last year? I gathered that in p2c have to be <1 km to stand any chance with these schools… and also for Qifa primary was there any balloting for phase2Cs? Many thanks for your help.

Hi there, last year phase 2B Fairfield balloting for SC at 1-2km: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/queenstown/


Henry Park no balloting but that's probably because there are very few PVs or GRLs: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/bukit-timah/

Nan Hua no balloting last year but could be due to Tiger year fewer \"Chinese\" parents had babies: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/clementi/

Qifa recent years by phase 2CS has zero places left. Last year at phase 2C balloting for SC >2km (see same link as Nan Hua).

Looks like I should not consider PV at Fairfield as it might be risky...?

You can apply to as many PV as you like. Shouldn't let the decision be driven by the data. There's no guarantee that you will be selected by the school. Apart from PV and GRL, Fairfield Methodist is also affected by the number of Methodist applicants.

It depends how far your house is from Fairfield...if <1km u still can PV & pray no balloting in your year. If Dragon year don't bother. The plus side of doing PV is that u get to observe whether the school culture is what u want for your child. I'm not sure how things are at Fairfield now after the good principal left...

very nervous now, next year have to register my daughter and doing as much read up as possible.


Does anyone know :
if i were eligible for school A for phase2-a2 but i choose to go for another school B.
If I didnt make it for school B, would I still allowed under phase2-a2 in school A or would it be considered as phase 2C(S)?

This registration phases are really complicated lol.

janet88:

Alexandra primary within 1km...confirm have to ballot.


Now those born 2 Jan also register with those born the year before.

Looks like the other options will be zhangde, gan eng seng, chij kellock.

Among these schools compare to Queenstown primary, which do you all recommend? We are living within 1KM to QSP.

If you cannot get the school you wanted in any Phase, you can always try again in the next Phase, provided there are still vacancies and you qualify for the next Phase. And no, you only get ONE chance per Phase. No going back to change your choice once the Phase is closed.
