No balloting for SJIJ <2km for 2C but no one can forecast this year as its Dragon year. So you’ll have to monitor the numbers carefully and see which school gives you the best chance.

still look okie for the folks within 1km for 2C but need phase 2A to be out of the way first. usually we need to consider ACSP and ACSJ at the same time.

ACSJ has 63 seats left for Phase 2A(2). Since the applicants for Phase 1 and Phase 2A(1) had increased compared to previous years, I suspect there will be a surge of applicants in Phase 2A(2) too. Balloting might happen for applicants >1km in Phase 2B, or even <1km, as compared to >2km in previous years.

Agree. High chance balloting for <1km in 2B.

Hi Parents,

I will like to seek your advice.
What will be the chance of st. margaret going into balloting for SC staying within 1-2km this year? We are considering to register for my gal. Thank you in advance.

Is the massive construction works at RVPS is concern? In addition to the current condo construction in front of the school, pacific mansion is enbloc and demolition is going to start real soon.


I am ok with loud noises (I believe there are guidelines to minimise disturbance to the school) but dust and mosquitoes may be hard to control. I have made a temporary shift out last time when there’s new condo development in front of my place. The spread of dengue and mozzie bites are so intolerable, we kept windows close, uses spread and stick on mozzie patches. These construction will last for the next 3-4 years.

And also the student care in pacific mansion is closed due to the enbloc. Any other recommendations around Orchard or RV? Anyone knows if the RV school bus serves Newton area? Thanks in advance
