2019 P1 Registration Exercise for 2020 In-take

[jeu]

Anyone looking to enrol their son in SAJS next yr? Anybody knows whether SC < 1km need to ballot or all managed to go in for this year? And do they give any preference to rental or home-owner units?

Sorry I don’t know the stats for this year.

But there is no difference in priority whether you are renting or own the place. Just make sure your rental contract ends no earlier than 30 months from date of registration (July 2019).

I am assuming you are referring to Phase 2C, balloting within 1 km for 2018 registration.
Vacancy was 53 and 78 registered, let's assume all registered are within 1km.
It will just get more difficult in coming years with Bidadari new estate and lots of other new condo nearby.

I have a question phase 2C (Henry Park Primary School, live within 1km) versus 2A1 (St.Joseph’s Institution Junior, Novena). My only concern is the distance. What would you choose. Please advice. Thank you.

Huh? The distance from Ghim Moh to Novena is not very far. If I had to choose between that guaranteed seat at SJIJ (which is a 15-min drive away)...vs...balloting odds of ~1in2 or even 1in3 for Henry Park, definitely will go for the guaranteed seat. Unless I have some younger daughters without alumni priority. Then maybe I will take my chance at balloting.

Thanks so much for the advice. really appreciate it.

Yes, would go for the guaranteed option

Hi, does anyone know if one will be allowed to withdraw from phase 2a1 or 2a2 and register again under phase 2c for the same school if number of registrants are lower for 2c as compared to 2a1 and 2a2?

When you said \"number of registrants are lower for 2c as compared to 2a1 and 2a2\", you must look at the number of applicants for individual distance category (i.e. < 1 km, 1-2 km and > 2 km).

So, within a particular distance category, is it even possible that P2A will have more people applying than P2C?
