All About Primary Schools' Balloting History

[Miracle13]

Hello parents…


It’s going to be my first time doing the primary 1 registration…

I have 2 doubts…if any kind parent can help me…
1) Can I say register for Phase 2B(2) then…register for phase 2C for another school when registration opens?
2) Do I need to cancel my slot in phase 2B(2) then go for the ballot in phase 2C at another school?

Please advise…
Thanks.

Yes, you have to cancel/withdraw and you won't be able to get the seat back if you fail in Phase 2C. You'll have to move on to your next preferred school in Phase 2C(S) and usually there won't be many seats left.

hi!

been a long time since I’ve logged in.
Looking at the balloting history for MGS in 2016, am I safe to conclude that for phase 2A(1), there will definitely be NO balloting?
a bit scared lah, I stay >2km away.

Thanks

So far the historical trend says it’s safe. If registering this year, u should be fine. Anyway u can usually get some insider info from your Alumni management rgdg how many have daughters born in same year as yours.


If yours is a Dragon baby registering next year though…u can probably expect more applicants than seats.

this also applies to those who have registered in phase 2A2 and then withdraw to register elsewhere cannot get the seat should they fail in Phase 2C.

APP refers to the percentage of applicants against the available seats in each phase.
For example: If there are 40 seats available in Phase 2B, it means there are 155% x 40 = 62 applicants for that particular phase. Unfortunately, the statistics won't tell us how many of those 62 applicants are going for balloting.

TUR is percentage of seats taken, calculated against the available seats in a particular school as a whole.
For example: If TUR = 84% at the end of Phase 2B and the school has 200 seats in total, it means 84% x 200 = 168 seats are taken, leaving 16% x 200 = 32 available seats for Phase 2C.

Hi kiasu parents,


We will be applying for Primary 1 registration in 2020 for our 1st DD who was born in 2014. We also have 2nd DD who was born in 2015.

I am born & bred Singaporean whereas my husband is not a SC nor a SPR but the girls are SCs. We are currently staying in JB, Malaysia as my husband (non-Malaysian) has a company there.

We plan to buy a house within 1 km to CHIJ Toa Payoh in 1-2 years' time and the girls & I will be moving back to SG for their schooling but will be in JB during the weekends.

My question is that if there's balloting during the Phase 2B (we are Catholics) & we didn't get in, can we apply again for Phase 2C? What are the chances? :xedfingers:

We do really want our girls to be in CHIJ Toa Payoh. :nailbite:

:thankyou:

if fail in balloting at Phase 2B (for Catholic schools like CHIJ Toa payoh primary), SC children can still ballot under Phase 2C, less than 1 km radius.


can refer past historical trend, for CHIJ Toa Payoh primary :-
