[quote=\"Feroz\"]Hi. Anyone have the breakdown for Haig Girls Primary? Thanks.

I'm interested to know as well.

My neighbor who went over to register today said that they did not provide breakdown by distance. Only said higher chance if <1km. Are you guys <1km?[/quote]Parents of Haig girls if risk adverse can swing to CHIJ Katong. Shld be safe. Balance abt 20 seats. However will be likely balloting for 2CS.

Anyone has breakdown for Kheng Chèng?


For me I also can't decide if to take the risk go balloting or settle one that is less popular. I got balloted out in phase 2A2 and I'm scared I can't take the 2nd blow..

If you're within 1km to Keng Cheng, you should be safe. Not sure about the breakdown but don't worry so much about the balloting. There will be enough vacancies in other schools in Phase 2C(S), e.g.: Guang Yang, First Toa Payoh, etc. Don't give up on balloting just because of the failed 2A2.

Thanks thanks! Went Kheng Cheng, and they told us even 1-2km will foresee need balloting, so ask me don't waste my time and chance.... So I went GY for registration

I salute those who withdraw at this stress phase aso… coz everywhere like so packed so i wonder those withdraw r facing a ballot or cfm can get in…

I see a big jump for some schools today. online registration has closed.
don't withdraw your child because it is so unpredictable and nobody knows what will happen tomorrow.
st hilda has 102 kids competing for 20 seats....nan chiau 252 kids fighting for 52 vacancies.
strangely de la salle has only 79 kids registered where there are 123 vacancies :?

some schools like nan chiau are worth the risk and fight. as 2cs they will still have options near their place. if they win ballot, they win big. if not, place is still \"reserved\" in backup option near their place. example, anchor green pri, palm view, fernvale and etc within 2km

clusters like \"nyp, hpps, rgps,\" \"acs',sji\" \"scgs\" don't have strong backup near their clusters. you fail in \"acs/sji\" you are going on a 9km ride to bt timah pri

Elias Park Primary will go for Balloting for less then 1km...Surprising one.

Hmmm.... it never says all are within 1km. Could be some > 1km? Some are PR?
Not sure if SC within 1km need to ballot?

Parents who had already secured a seat for their children should just stay with their option. hope all parents in P2C manage to get their desired school for the kids. praying hard.. :xedfingers:

agree...parents shouldn't withdraw and add to the 2C stress for parents who have not registered their kids. they have already secured a seat unlike those at 2c.

In reality, many pple will do it. hence really skews the 2C overall stats. There's no rule that they can do it or illegal.
In my kid's ex-kindy, I had known as at least 3 mums who did it - even though they secured a place in 2A(1) & 2B.
Day 3 afternoon last hour will be dramatic.... & hv unexpected changes.

but we're talking about 252 kids vying for just 52 vacancies!

bukit timah primary has always been a backup school when kids are balloted out of pei hwa, nyps and henry park.
there are many foreign students in bukit timah pri.
