Thank you floppy.


So means that under Phase 2B, my chance will be lower than Phase 2B SC even their distance >2km, they will fill in all the Phase 2B SC first then consider Phase 2B SPR.

In the meantime, Phase 2B SPR chance will still be HIGHER than Phase 2C SC and SPR. Can I say that? Thanks!

This is incorrect. Your chance would be considered by phases. It means, your chance in any phase will be lower than SC. It means even if there are SC > 2km in Phase 2C, they will still be given priority.

To clarify, each phase is unique and is not correlated to previous phase.

The first statement is correct:
Under Phase 2B, my chance will be lower than Phase 2B SC even their distance >2km, they will fill in all the Phase 2B SC first then consider Phase 2B SPR.

When it comes to Phase 2C, whether you have qualified for Phase 2B (or Phase 2A) is irrelevant. As per galaxyrider comment, your priority will still be lower than SC even though they might not have qualified for any of the earlier phases.

Simply speaking, if we qualified by the school PV Scheme, and distance<1m, also, for the year for application, at this school Phase 2B applicants number does NOT exceeds the number of vacancies available, we will be surely admitted in the school right? Unless that year the Phase 2B Applicants number exceeds the vacancies available, there will be priorities SC at Phase 2B first, then we may turn down to the Phase 2C stage.

Thanks galaxyraider, the background is my child is SPR and distance < 1km, AND we are accepted by school for Phase 2B registration (qualified for PV Scheme). That's what I would compare if it will go for Phase 2B SPR first for Phase 2C SC first. Thank you.

Which school are u talking about? Even if u go and count all the PVs for your year, do beware that any GRLs may suddenly appear for registration at phase 2B. That may throw off your calculations.

I see. Keming Primary u should be quite safe. It seems like the school restricts the PVs to just a small handful? Here’s the balloting history: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/bukit-batok/

GRLs refers to grassroots leaders. They also qualify under phase 2B. May have a handful of such unknown numbers turning up for registration. But for this school seems quite safe PR <1km should get in fine.

there is nothing to beware about.
GRL did their fair share of volunteer work - elsewhere.

in my opinion, the correct term should be \"be aware\"


lastly, they don't suddenly appear.... they plan for it as much as the PV.

Sorry yes I mean “be aware”. I got nothing against GRLs, nor am I saying they don’t deserve the 2B. I just meant that it’s impossible for the public to know how many.

Hi thanks for your sharing, I believe she means that we won’t able to know know that how many applicants in Phas 2B if counting all PV and GRL ^^ yeahhh we all make effort!
