2018 P1 registration exercise for 2019 intake
-
The allocation is the same method whether 2CS or 2C or 2B or 2A1 or 2A2. SCs have priority over PRs. If there are more SC applicants than vacancies, the priority is based on distance. If all SC get in, the distance priority will be applied to PR.
If the school you have in mind is within the range (< 1km or 1-2 km) of another school with overflow from 2C, you need to do your calculations and weigh if you have any chances, especially since you are outside 2km. You might not have a chance to even ballot. It would be safer to go for a school with at least 100 vacancies, and which has a lesser hinterland (so as to reduce the chance of large overflow from the popular schools). Such is the situation for numerous folks in Tampines.Mich1502:
For 2C Sup do they allocate based on distance. If they do, then it is going to be very worrying because all the schools left are 2km away from my home.

In previous dragon years, primary schools were still running double sessions. Most popular schools increased their intake by 1 class or so to cater for the dragon year. Unfortunately for this year, most primary schools are running single sessions and face physical constraints to increase their cohort size. Most popular schools are probably maxed out. This was confirmed by the school admin of nearby schools. Only those schools that are relatively new with spare capacity or those that had reduced intake over the years were able to increase a class or two.
Popular schools not only refer to top schools or branded schools. They may just be the neighbourhood schools next to your place, which have gained a reputation over the years and hence are more popular than other neighbourhood schools further away.
My observation of our neighbourhood is that there just aren’t enough vacancies < 1km left after the large number of phase 1 siblings. My sympathies are with the 200 overflow from 2C. Everyone wants to go to the schools nearby, who wouldn’t. -
Anyone saved the final day 2C vacancies vs application number (or APP TUR %) before MOE deleted?

Can't sleep.....

tomorrow Monday is only online for 2CS

All the best to those who are going through 2C Sup registration this week. May all go smoothly and well…

popular schools like southview, rulang, pei hwa, keming, nan hua are located within neighbourhood. the last dragon year registration in 2006 had 1 additional class to cater for this bumper crop. even when son entered secondary school, there were additional classes added for sec 1.In previous dragon years, primary schools were still running double sessions.

Thank you all for your support. Crossing fingers for all of us who are facing the 2CS giant. 파이팅!

Exactly. In previous dragon years such as 2006, 1-2 classes were added to cater to popular primary schools to cater to the increased cohort size. Similarly, when the dragon batch entered different levels, the secondary schools, JCs, polytechnics increased their cohort size too. MOE increased the intake of primary schools for next year’s p1 children too. I think the increase seems to be for the less popular schools. Is it true for your parts of Singapore too?

U referring to First TPY PS I suppose? I totally feel you as well. Especially when you have a daughter.zac's mum:

Foul language: checked.
BGR: checked.
We didn’t manage to get in the school of choice and likely to end up with above. Which was what we were trying to avoid. It was a hard pill to swallow but wow, when you end up with a dragon baby, I will need the luck and sanity...
I suggest you monitor closely the stats for MC. If got chance for 1-2km, please go for it. As for the other further schools like Mayflower etc, lets see the TUR on Day 1...
You guessed it, thank you! FTPPS, it’s already a mouthful to pronouce for me, anything that is gonna start with a F.
Armed with the figures and stats from PCPS and KCPS and unexpected TUR at MCS (plan B? What? No plan B), I have faith that my home school distance can’t fend off the applicants from TPY North, TPY Sapphire, TPY West, TPY Rise, Bradell View and all the way to the edge of Macritchie/Lornie. It is a loong shot if I were to register. Murphy’s Law in place![/quote]I'll be moving to tpy north year end and I didn't choose FTPPS and choose Guangyang instead.. Not very far off from braddell area.. Perhaps can think about it?
