2017 P1 Registration Exercise for 2018 In-Take

[Snowwalker]

Maybe no choice as that is the only school that they can apply in phase 2B.

zac's mum:

I don't understand why >2km will apply on the first day?? Won't they want to wait till last day to gauge their chances first?

IJTP breakdown as of this morning's registration session:

38 vacancies
31 registered
1km: 14
1-2km: 5
>2km: 12

I don't have the SC/PR breakdown (if there are any)

Which school is IJTP?? Will all schools have this table? Have to say its very daring of you to post these numbers out if its a really popular school !

CHIJ Primary Toa Payoh

I applied this morning under 1km. Then I rang the school at 1pm and ask for updates. I won't be the only one posting; parents here helping each other to update with the registration numbers.

Anyone with updates for MGS and SCGS under phase 2b?

Such information is nothing alarming. Most school if not all schools will display such information in school or reveal during a call. This is especially helpful for popular schools and during Phase 2C, where it allows parents to make decision on whether they want to risk ballot, or to withdraw when chance becomes zero.

Phase 2B is still a relatively restrictive phase unlike Phase 2C (which is free-for-all). Apart from some cases whereby your religious denomination may offer you more than 1 choice for primary schools, the majority can't change their clan / GRL / PV affiliation at the last minute, and have to stick to what they have (which makes registering on the first / last day inconsequential).

The numbers posted today (and tomorrow) is more like a dry run for Phase 2C. Unlike Phase 2C, the numbers posted for Phase 2B is only good to quell (or heighten) the anxieties of the parents rather than to provide any meaningful guidance***

P/S: *** the obvious exception being the 2 ACS schools.

GRLs should have more than one choice within the GRC that they served.
