2018 P1 registration exercise for 2019 intake

[TheTeds]

Anyone knows the number of PR applying to BTPS? The school now has 86 applicants for 79 seats.

Thelittleninjas:

They could decide to take the additional seats given its not too big a number. But its really case by case basis & there is no hard & fast rule too whether it is principal sch board or anyones decision we won’t know too


Montfort Jr has 39 seats - 5 (1km) 23 (1-2km) 13 (2km)

Over by 2 but Admin said all are in which means additional 2 seats the sch has never been oversubscribed in any phase before

good luck to all parents

Montfort Junior:
46 applicants for 41 seats.
I'll take what an admin says with a pinch of salt and wait for the official MOE announcement :evil:

BrieBee:

Yeah...finally. Got it at Anchor Green. No more sleepless night.


Guess a lot of parents withdrawed from Fern Green

Anchor Green: 99 applicants for 101 places.
By the skin of your teeth.

I could have Phase 2A2 priority for Fern Green (but unlikely to take it up). Surprised that it's a popular option for a 2 year old school (240 / 300 at end of Phase 2C).

Website updated

Gan Eng Seng, First Toa Payoh, Guangyang, New Town, Stamford, Angsana, Telok Kurau, Eunos, Meridian primary, plus a lot of other schools : still a lot of vacancies, left

[BrieBee]

Yes…it’s kinda surprised for new school

[TLcctuna]

To be precise, the odd number goes to the next phase... which is err... Phase 2B.

No. The odd number 1 place goes to 2C after the end of 2A2.

However, if during the 2B registration and anyone withdraw from the place allocated due to the earlier phase. The withdrawal seats will go to 2B.

Hope it clarify the doubt that sometime you see more places in 2B than 2C.

See below:

zac's mum:

I recall quite clearly that if odd number, then extra goes to 2B. Unfair for members of the public. That’s why I remember very well.

That's how it was, is.

Likewise for Punggol Cove which is also a 2yo school... 280/320 at the end of phase 2C.... At now 2CS it's oversubscribed with 46 applicants for 42 slots and need to ballot . There was 40 slot left by the end of phase 2C but there was 2 withdrawal after 2C ends, hence the vacancies became 42. Yet this 2 withdrawal doesn't stop the balloting from happening.

This theory can be easily proven.

take Jing Shan or Mayflower as example.

Jing Shan - Take up till 2A2 - 97 - left over for 2B and 2C was 150-97 = 53 - at the start of 2B, available slot was 27
Mayflower - Take up till 2A2 - 59 - left over for 2B and 2C was 180-59 = 121 - at the start of 2B, available slot was 61

so after 2A2, the odd spot goes to 2B.

The 2nd part of your point on withdrawal
- it is still shared amongst 2B and 2C.for example, Maha Bodhi withdrawal during 2B was 4, two of the four was added to 2B and the other two was to 2C.

And the allocation depends on if there is odd number in the first place. for example Holy innocent, at the end of 2A2, 217 registered, left over 53 - start if 2B - 27 available (2C was 26), at the end of the 2B phase total reported number for 2A2 becomes 214 (3 withdrawal), and total available for 2B became 28 and at the start of 2C, spots available is 28.

So if even number sharing of 2B and 2C, during 2B, first withdrawal will go to 2B, the next will go to 2C, and this continue to alternate.
If the odd number sharing, the odd one goes to 2B first but the first withdrawal will go to 2C, there after will alternate with 2B.

Trust the above clarifies although it seems like a mad scientist calculation. :rotflmao:
