Depending on which school. Transfer to a \"unpopular\" school usually those still with Phase 3 spaces left over, can be quite easy, anytime of the year. My friend transferred her kid to 2 different schools just a few mths apart these 2 schools in punggol.

If a popular school, you might as well try to get in during registration period, as majority of the primary years at new address.
Maybe if you name the school, many will be able give more specific advise on the what's that possibility of getting into that school, at different phase and distance possibility.

sorry I wasn't specific earlier. I'm currently in hougang close to these schools:

Holy Innocents (within 1km)
Monfort junior (within 1km)
North Vista (within 1km)
Punggol primary (within 1km)
Yio Chu Kang primary (within 1km)

my bto is in bidadari so I would have:

Maris Stella (within 1km)
Cedar Primary (within 1km)
Yangzheng Primary (within 1km)
St Andrew (1-2km)
St Gabriel (1-2km)

But I'm only in phase 2C so I wonder what are my chances of getting in, unless I rent somewhere nearby bidadari first.

Bidadari is quite a different ball game for the next few years. 6000 new flats !!
I would try to get into the school around that area asap, especially when you mentioned for 2019 registration, those new address are not possible to use yet. As years goes by both registration and transfer to schools will just get tougher.

I would try to get into a school during 2019 registration by renting and will move to this rented place, then you would have all 6 years of school nearby. Just rent out your hougang place to someone who need get into Holy Innocent's :imanangel: !

Hi all, checking in as I will register my daughter next year for 2020 in-take. Already having a rollercoaster of a ride with my son this dragon year (we didn't plan for a dragon...), arghhh.


I will likely enroll my daughter in MGS as I'm an alumni. We live rather far at Whampoa, but after this year's craziness, I don't think I can take the stress or uncertainty again...

if your boy is in a single gender school, then register daughter in MGS for the sake of sanity. I didn't plan to have a dragon kid either but didn't make it in time to have a rabbit kid in 1999.

Agree!

Popular sch in Hougang needs balloting <1km too. Might as well rent if you can and save the hassle of transferring (if successful in the first place else travels the other direction for 3 years) and adjusting.
P1, p3, sec 1...new school every 3-4 yrs.

Thank you all for your precious replies.. I'm very worried about bidadari too

Have managed to persuade hubby to rent near bidadari first and rent out our hougang place
Which would give a better chance in 2C, MS or SA? then backup plan in 2CS would be Cedar.
:thankyou:

My son was blessed to secure a spot in SAJS for 2019 so since it's an all-boys school, MG will be the choice for my daughter. I just hope there is no balloting for Phase 2A2 for the snake year... We have no home-school distance to double up on. :faint:

There isn't balloting for MGS in Phase 2A2 even in this Dragon year. Snake year should be a walk in the park.

1) Maha Bodhi under 2C (1-2km)
2) Haig Girls under 2C (outside 2km)
3) Cedar under 2A2

No chance for Maha Bodhi. Good for Haig Girls. Guaranteed for Cedar.
