All About Primary Schools' Balloting History
-
snow:
We didnt get into nhps in phase 2A2 and the next elgible phase would be phase 2C. At first we thought that we have a confirmed seat in Princess E as we are SC within 1 km. Only to know that balloting was done in 2016. Would anyone knows where to find the number of SC applicants vs vacancies?
Did you add to waitlist at nhps?
2015 103 applied for 96 vacancies (all within 2km went in)
2016 107 applied for 88 vacancies (balloting within 1km) - total vacancies dropped by 30 from 240 to 210 in year 2016. Exact number for the SC is not known but safe to say those applied should be within 1km and all SC.
left 2017 after 2A2, 71. these few years 2b application is low, so monitor if it remain low.
if you already have done balloting before, you should know your threshold for balloting. All the best -

can someone rectify this. it showing wrong school under different Area. instead of showing respective school for that Area, it just sort by Alphabetically and insert into that Area. -

My son did not make it for phase 2B through the Ballot at SJIJ this week. is it worth reapplying for phase 2C?
He is SC and we live > 2km.
Do they take previous tentatives into account for the phase 2C applications?
thank you -
Sirrisap:
Unfortunately no, you have to start afresh at phase 2C. Likely to be balloting again for >2km at phase 2C though. Why don't you try a safer school nearer to your house? Unless you're game to try balloting again & have a reliable fallback school at phase 2C(S).My son did not make it for phase 2B through the Ballot at SJIJ this week. is it worth reapplying for phase 2C?

SJIJ usually ballots for <2km under 2C. You may not even get a chance to ballot. Priority is to secure a school in 2C. All the best!My son did not make it for phase 2B through the Ballot at SJIJ this week. is it worth reapplying for phase 2C?

don't waste your chance at 2C. staying out of 2km means you don't get to smell a chance to ballot. secure a school within 1km...2C is open to all. it's depressing when you get balloted out and have to go to 2Cs.

Every new Phase start afresh. Hence, won't look at results of the previous Phase balloting.My son did not make it for phase 2B through the Ballot at SJIJ this week. is it worth reapplying for phase 2C?

At Phase 2C :
the balloting is even much more intense, than that at Phase 2B, much more competitive, since 2C is opened to public.
Residents staying more than 2 km outside of SJI, under 2C : may not even be eligible for balloting, this year (being popular Rabbit year). Look out for the balloting numbers breakdown by distance, on the last day of P2C.
Suggest you try to enrol your son into some other schools, under 2C. Don't waste your precious chance, at 2C
Most parents who failed in balloting at 2C, end up in Phase 2C Supplementary: tend to feel miserable -

If you can live with the schools under phase 2c (s), then go ahead to try for SJI.My son did not make it for phase 2B through the Ballot at SJIJ this week. is it worth reapplying for phase 2C?
