2018 P1 registration exercise for 2019 intake

[floppy]

zac's mum:

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.

Based on the list of https://www.moe.gov.sg/admissions/primary-one-registration/vacancies, and https://www.moe.gov.sg/admissions/primary-one-registration/balloting, it's hard to invalidate MOE's claim that there are more than enough places to go around (for SCs at least).

While it may not be everyone's favourite school, or a stone throw away, the schools with vacancies left at the end of Phase 2CS are dotted around the island and, apart from Bukit Timah (which I have no sympathy - given that BTPS is balloting for SC > 2km, I assume that there are other alternatives that applicants are not considering), found in nearly every estate (i.e. should still be within 2km for most people).

Bukit Timah Road is smack right in the centre of Singapore. Anywhere is accessible for them :evil:

Yes, for parents who need to rush to their workplace early after dropping the kids at school. Near home may not be feasible for everyone. Imagine u walk your kids fo school at 7:15am, it’s almost impossible to reach your workplace at 8am downtown. And especially if u stay near, school bus tend to pick u later. Let alone to say taking the school bus if u r just a few block away

I have a dragon son who got into P1 next year (phase 1). If his brother get transferred out to another primary school in 2019, will my son still be able to retain his p1 spot for 2019?
