There is no such thing as guaranteed. If there are more Phase 2B applicants than Phase 2B vacancies, there will be balloting involved.

Historically, Kong Hwa has conducted balloting for Phase 2B in some of the years. Unless you live within 1km of Kong Hwa, you will have to accept the risk that you may not get a chance should balloting occurs.

there is no guarantee of entry into the school at 2B. however, in the case of balloting and child is balloted out, he/she will be given higher priority on the wait list. with dragon year kids registering next year, have a backup plan.

Hi all, I’m new here. Have a dragon boy to do p1 registration next year. Sorry to ask a stupid question, will the 2018 registration dates be the same as this year? Phase 2b will be on 17 and 18 Jul and Phase 2c will be from 25-28 Jul? TIA.

The dates will change slightly from year to year. I know...difficult to plan for leave, especially those of us who have to apply leave far in advance. MOE will announce the confirmed dates around May/June each year. In the end hubby and I used our urgent childcare leave

Thanks zac’s mum for your reply! Oh man… ya, I need to plan my leave around… sigh…

Hi all, will be registering my dragon baby under nanyang primary’s phase 2A1. Had a look at the available data indicating that phase 2A1 has never been oversubscribed in the last 10 years, but since it will be the dragon year, wondering if there’s a high possibility of oversubcription and if I should seriously consider a back up plan? Thanks!

You should write to your alumni management to verify exactly how many alumni members have Dragon babies.

Every school (as far as I know) takes a predictive survey of how many current students’ siblings will be applying in that year under Phase 1. This is for their internal calculations to know roughly how many spaces will be left.

No reason why a popular school cannot (or does not) take a similar survey among their alumni network. They have all their contact details. And you can similarly push them to release the results of said survey, in order for all of you to make better informed choices/backup plans.
