2018 P1 registration exercise for 2019 intake

[lowchuac2]

Hi overclk2000,

School in hougang have longer history, should be not bad. But if punggol, can consider punggol cove or punggol view for peace of mind, no stress.

overclk2000:

Hi, fellow parents, may I seek advice on which school to register for 2C (Singapore Citizen) for my child. I'd registered him under Phase 2A1 with a school in Hougang buts its 45min bus ride away. So am looking for a school which is nearer.

Within 1km
1) PUNGGOL GREEN PRIMARY SCHOOL (high chance of balloting for <1km based on Lexy's latest info https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=91621)
2) PUNGGOL VIEW PRIMARY SCHOOL
3) PUNGGOL COVE PRIMARY SCHOOL

Within 2km
3) EDGEFIELD PRIMARY SCHOOL
4) GREENDALE PRIMARY SCHOOL
5) OASIS PRIMARY SCHOOL

Within 2km (with high chance of balloting for <1km)
6) COMPASSVALE PRIMARY SCHOOL
7) RIVERVALE PRIMARY SCHOOL

Hope the gurus here can help with advice on these options:
\t1. Should I even try for COMPASSVALE and RIVERVALE with is Within 2km? are there any new schools built around the area that will cause the no of registrations to decrease?)
\t2. Should I even try registering with EDGEFIELD, GREENDALE, OASIS? or
\t3. Just focus on those within 1km?

Would you advice that I monitor the situation and 1. withdraw from the Phase 2A1 school and then register my child on the last day i.e 2 Aug itself?

I know i'm asking a lot here hope fellow parents here can help.

Just curious - why is there still more than 100 places for RGPS given that it is quite a well known school?

Does this mean asg citizen less than 1km (or even 1-2km) will get a place in 2C?

I think main reason is because it has no affiliation.

The other reason could be logistics - the school’s location is near the famous main road which is always having bad traffic jam. So many other schools’ traffic also jamming the road.

Historically it has been like that. Perhaps just 5-10min drive away there are other primary schools with affiliation for girls.
1). NYPS
2). MGS
3). SCGS
If RGPS is affiliated to RGS, I guess will be a different story liao.

Plus RGPS intake is huge. It has vacancies for 270 girls. While SCGS/MGS around 200 while NYPS probably takes in around 200 girls (intake of 390 but it’s a co-ed school)

there are 113 vacancies left for Alexandra for phase 2C compared to 98 for zhangde and 92 for ij kellock.

what’s the chance of entering APS staying less than 1km?

Lexy...just wondering how do u post a table on KSP? Is it you have to prepare it in Excel then convert to PDF and upload as image?


I am considering preparing & posting my table of affiliated secondary schools cut-off points.

The fastest way I found is - do it in excel. Select the table, copy the table, paste it in paint. Got a picture right away.
