2018 P1 registration exercise for 2019 intake

[syong]

Anyone knows why MOE takes so long (1 week) to announce the 2B electronic balloting result 26Jul (Thu), considering registration ends on 20Jul ? Or the school would know the results on following Monday 23Jul? Tqvm

There’s no difference. The parent registering the child on the last day at the final minute has an equal opportunity to be admitted/ballot compared to the first parent registered the child on the first day at the first minute.


I guess the only difference is on the last day, you will know whether the school is balloting under which category and that may be important for your consideration depending on your risk appetite.

The schools will show at the school how many applicants under which home-school distance at end of application period?

Gongshang (< 1km)
St Hilda’s (1-2km)

It depends. The school should at least inform registering parents which category the school is balloting.. i.e. >2km, within 2km or <1km so parents would make the informed decision.

Maybe for the exact numbers may need to enquire at the registration counter. Perhaps other parents can fill in the details.

But looking at numbers.. Gongshang only left 20 vacancies for 2B (may have to ballot?). Poi ching numbers look better for 2B?

Poi Ching is the least popular amongst the 3 in phase 2b. Hence, higher chance.

Dunno why this yr poi ching take up rate not so good… any reviews on the poi ching sch?

[phtthp]

Poi Ching : is always full house, by end of Phase 2C, 100 percent occupancy. So many families staying in Tampines ! There will definitely be parents, who like SAP school !

and the previous stats https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/toa-payoh/

Hoping for pei chun initially at phase 2c. With the turn out for pei chun for 2A2...look like pei chun is completely out as i am within 1 to 2km (using caregiver address though caregiver staying <1km from pei chun). Don't even stand a chance to ballot.

2nd choice will be keng cheng. Crossing fingers to bet on kheng cheng now. 1st child(girl) registering for P1...don't know what are my other choices.[/quote]Sad to say, you (1 to 2km) are on a very tight rope for Kheng Cheng.
Both Pei Chun and Kheng Cheng are having less places available for Phase 2B / 2C when compared to other years. If parents, (within 1km) who are risk adverse, start shifting their target from Pei Chun to Kheng Cheng, Kheng Cheng may have to go into balloting for 1 to 2km (high possibility) or 1km (unlikely but not impossible).

For a girl, you are lucky because Marymount Convent is an available option to have in 2CS. Unfortunately, if you have to KIV a place for a boy, you may have to do this exercise all over again when his time comes for registration.[/quote]
