With only 20 places each for 2b and 2c.

Even less than 1km need to ballot.

Hi, I am a grassroot leader applying to SCGS for my daughter under phase 2B and I am living within 1km of the school. Is there a chance that there will be balloting. I reaslized from your table that there is only 29 places up for grabs in phase 2B when I thought that it would around 38. Is there any other schools that we can apply in the Tanjong Pagar GRC that is affiliated to its secondary school as we do not have a back up plan if SCGS for phase 2B does not work out. Phase 2C seems to be very competitive. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you very much.

For Tanjong Pagar GRC, i think alexandra primary, zhangde, cantonment, queenstown are within the GRC (i used the hybrid mode of the https://www.onemap.sg/ with the GRC electoral so i couldnt be sure if i read the map correctly) I think its easier for check the GRC directly.

As to your question for the SCGS balloting in 2B. it could be rather close call.
This year TUR is 71%

From the previous years stats: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/novena/
SCGS usually has a balloting if the TUR at the end of 2A is 71% or more.

However the past 3 years applicants for 2B is 16, 22, 28 (for 2017, 2016, 2015 respectively) since the implementation of the 30th month rule. There are other girls schools under 2C with affiliation (not in Tanjong Pagar GRC) that may be possible but we leave it till after the 2B (hopefully you already entered into SCGS by then). In summary, i think it could be close, and if there is a balloting needed, will you opt for it? or you go for the other ones within the GRC? If you have work so hard for this position, you may have to bite the bullet and go for it even if there is a need for balloting.

All the best.

CHIJ Kellock Primary is a girls school with affiliated secondary. It is located near Mount Faber/Sentosa area, so I’m guessing it could be within Tanjong Pagar GRC. Hopefully not Radin Mas SMC (if it still exists).

Please double check with your boss.

CHIJ Kellock was the first school I checked on the OneMap. It’s on the Radin Mas side but better check with the GRC.

Great! St Margaret’s is a relatively good alternative for XiaoZhuZhuPaPa, if he does not wish to ballot (confirmed place for 2B).

But please have a look over at the St Margaret’s thread. There are comments that the school will move to a holding site in Macpherson/Mattar for 2 years from 2020. Transport may or may not be troublesome for you, it depends on your own situation.

Asking on behalf of a friend who has a sg50 boy.

She’s staying in whampoo so within 1km she had Hong Wen(opposite her house) and SJIJ. But they are looking at confirmed place in 2B. They are also open to moving near St Andrew for 2B. Which school had a higher chance at 2b before she decides to do volunteer. Thanks.
