2018 P1 registration exercise for 2019 intake

BrieBee:
Fern Green, Evergreen and Punggol Cove - balloting within 1km. Still tough eventhough staying near...
In a way, it makes sense to ballot if you are within 1km of these schools. e.g. If you miss out on the ballot for Fern Green (71 for 60), it’s not hard to move to Fernvale (73 for 95) and get accepted before Phase 3, while staying within 1 or 2 km. Likewise, those who miss the ballot for Punggol Cove can head for Oasis. -
Those who managed to secure a place in your 2CS school, congrats! You can finally relax and go celebrate this weekend.
Those who be undergoing balloting, good luck for your SMS result on 21 August!
I do not know if MOE will update the schools with vacancies left (and exactly how many seats left) on 21 August. But if anyone needs the calculation in order to make their 3 choices, just shoot me a request here. I have the records. -
CHIJ Katong left with 9 vacancies but balloting for more than 2km…
Cannosa Catholic no balloting for SC and PR!
This is indeed weird. -
Those who are going for balloting should screenshot this page: https://www.moe.gov.sg/admissions/primary-one-registration/vacancies
Will be helpful when you need to make the mad scramble before Phase 3. -

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 ballots! -

Asking those veterans here if they know or can figure out why...
I noticed a strange phenomenon this year when I was tallying the vacancies for 2C(S). I’ve never done so in previous years, so dunno if it’s a new thing or not.
At the start of 2C(S), MOE released the number of vacancies per school. I recorded the numbers in Excel so that I could sort the schools in descending order of vacancies.
But at the close of 2C(S), when MOE released the total number of applicants per school for that phase, I noticed that several schools suddenly had 1 or 2 more vacancies.
What could have happened here? I wouldn’t expect people to withdraw after securing 2C spot! Could it be admin error? As in, the admin clerk calculated wrongly at the start of the phase? Or do u think some applications were voided due to invalid documents/addresses that were not verified properly?
Just thinking aloud.
