2017 P1 Registration Exercise for 2018 In-Take

[seriallain85]

I get what you are saying. My turn will come next year. Right now, I can see a lot of loopholes. Certainly, the parent that's camping at the school will have a greater advantage than the one sitting at home and praying someone will give out the numbers

zac's mum:

There is a website showing which distance category will undergo balloting, which MOE is supposed to update soon (hopefully today): https://www.moe.gov.sg/admissions/primary-one-registration/balloting

But there is no indication what are the odds. If you were not on the ground at 4.30pm yesterday, it's unlikely your competitors will tell you. It's also not nice to keep bugging the school. But you can try to find out the balloting date and time and location, if you want to be present. Otherwise, there's nothing much you can do except wait and wait and wait for the hard copy letter informing you of the outcome. We try our best to help on KSP but no one is obliged to answer your qns really.

Hello I was lurking at the school thread which is not moving and din know its active here.


For St hildas first day is

Second day breakdown they did not put up at all. Last heard is 28 applicants within 1km for 2nd day of 2B. Calling them doesn't help too

Hope this helps and good luck to all!

Does anyone have the breakdown for Ai Tong? They have 6 oversubscribers, any idea if there is any chance for the school to absorb these 6?

I won't call it a loophole per se.
The more hardworking parents have an advantage, which is to be expected. It's not just about last minute camping at the school - from understanding the various phases and how it works, advance planning for Phase 2A (joining the alumni association), Phase 2B (joining the clan / PV / GRL), all these require 'hardwork' and advance planning.

I would call it playing by the rules and maximizing what you can get out of it without breaking an arm and leg.

Yeah…I would call it being diligent. Your attitude will trickle down to your child’s attitude to his/her studies and school matters, no?


Contrast the diligent student pays attention and who takes proper note of when the test/exam is, what topics are covered, what is the date and time and location of the exam. Prepares well within the rules and shows up on time for the exam. Versus the lazy can’t be bothered student who didn’t note important things, then later how to study and ask around where ah? What ah? Nice people maybe will take pity and hold your hand while you cry…but otherwise, silence…

Assuming that all 6 are within the balloting distance, there will be a ballot unless there are 6 pairs of twins or 3 sets of triplets among those balloting.

The system is fairly transparent and the school can't unilaterally absorb the extra applicants unless there are special circumstances (such as the ones that I've listed). Hence, even if the number of extra applicant is just one, there will be a ballot conducted.

It's a pity that the 5 parents wasted their 2B chance just like that
