2020 P1 Registration Exercise for 2021 In-take

[Sheepbaby688]

Hi, I would need some advice. I have 3 children and my eldest girl is now studying at St Margaret's. My 2nd girl will be registering for Pri 1 in 2020 and we qualify for phase 2B within 1km of St Hilda's. Would very much like her to study at St Hilda's given that we are staying at Tampines and I have a son born in 2016. But based on the balloting results for this year, it seems that it is difficult to get in. Not too sure if we should start to apply for PV for other schools in Tampines (eg: Poi Ching 1-2 km). :?:

Good that you ask earlier but if you are not within 1km of these 2 schools you are considering, you likely won't get a chance to ballot. So if within 1km, can try. After dragon, the next most intense competition will be horse. If going by this year's outcome of the competition thus far, with dragon and horse having similar high birth rate, zero chance to even ballot if outside 1km of the school.

Learning from this year’s dragon year registration, if parents are going for balloting especially in 2C should take note that your backup school may not have vacancies left or left with little vacancies in 2CS. Therefore be prepared to ballot again in 2CS.


depending if you’re risk advrse, advice is to go for your 2CS school in 2C if odds are not in your favour.

I hope to enrol my girl who is born 2014 to a pri school which has sec sch affiliation, unfortunately, my nearest CHIJ is 2.7km away, hence its over 2km


I qualify for RGPS 2A for her but there is no sec affiliation and this school is also too far for me. Im at boon keng.
I use this to find the pri schools near me. https://elite.com.sg/ enter your postal code.

Was thinking of Pei Chun, but they require over 80 hrs PV and no sec school affiliation too.

Came to read this thread in detail ... realised I have the exact same 3 schools to choose !!

Phase 2A - RGPS or PCPS
Phase 2B - CHIJ TPY
so it almost 100% confirmed seats for all 3, just depend on my choice .. :boogie:

Anyway, just to remind PCPS PV is open for 2014 now, only for this month Sep, if can't decide just quickly submit the PV form first. If selected then come worry ...

It will take some time.

Which school(s) are you looking at?

I am looking for data for Pei Chun and Kuo Chuan. Wondering what’s their 2B numbers like for this year and if balloting was required. Though from previous years numbers, looked like no balloting but I won’t be surprised that this year could had been different.

qms - appreciate this so much! Thanks a lot


Going by this, looks like if I stay outside of 2km for these two schools, chances for me at 2B will be very slim even as a SC

Any stats to share for nan hua primary for phase 2B please TIA!
