[quote=\"XiaoZhuZhuPaPa\"]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.

[/quote]Hi Lexy, just wondering...do you know how the risk% is being derived for the competition in Novena area? Unless you know how many dragon babies are born from the same area that is already planning to compete for that primary school.

i was told by RMPS tat 28 applied for 24 seats and all are SG + within 2km tat y i withdraw end up on MOE site it was 25 applied for 24 which mean the info was not accurate or they did not reli monitor sigh..oh well maybe it was fated...

If i were u, I will go for the ballot. As in 2A2, even if unsuccessful, u have nothing to lose. U can go forward with phase 2B and 2C so on.
Have a feeling u are being misled by the registration officer. Possible she/he probably \"lazy\" to process another applicant. Or they aim for the school not to ballot so discouraged the last day applicants not to register. This is human natural, is possible. So that is why the info provided to u at RMPS is different from MOE schs to be ballot site. I think the lesson learnt here for your case is to inisist u want to register. Be it whatever they discouraged.

i dun wan 2B to look forward and do not have much opt for 2C as it seems high chance for all the sch near me will face ballot too. cos i had an opt to go another sch for 2A2 (since husband n wife got 1 sch each haha) so end up i chose to go one tat no ballot for me. just upset coz it seems like a narrow miss for me anyway it could be blessing in disguise

I dont know the exact number (and wont know ).

First of all between RMPS to SCGS/MGS - ermm i think the switch wont be too much of a change in terms of course work.

For 2C in short:
at 71% TUR for MGS at the end of 2A - all the years required balloting within 1km.
Similar at 71% TUR for SCGS at the end of 2A - all the years required balloting for folks within 1km.
Both school - best results since 2006 for 2C is balloting required for more than 2km (only 1 year out of those years). Will you want to give up your place in RMPS for virtually no chance or requiring balloting?

CHIJ Kellock is also not totally safe for >2km folks. need the phase 2B to end before it is clearer (perhaps?)

Rather than using your niece as a guage, and since its your (parents') old school, you need to gauge whether RMPS is suitable for your kid.

Hi, i have heard that SC residing within 0.5KM from the school of choice has a higher priority compared to SC residing above 0.5KM but within 1KM, not sure if this is true?

you will probably see alot of people residing in the school compound if there is such category.

looks like my friend is indeed very lucky as her girl (living more > 5 km away) manage to get into SCGS through balloting in 2015.... I think this is probably the only year with more than 14 students living more than 2km successfully getting into this school.
