you are correct,

i forgot to ask the most impt qn.
where is his address now?

lee_yl:

If your home address is under Holland-Bukit Timah GRC, then you can apply for any school within Holland-Bukit Timah GRC. However, if you are under HBT but decide to cross over to AMK to help out at Teck Ghee, then of cos you won’t be eligible to apply under phase 2B at PM Lee’s ward.

I used to work as a volunteer in AMK for the Meet-The-People Sessions for years but I reside in Novena, thus, I can only apply schools under Tanjong Pagar GRC (back then).

My conclusion:
balloting for more than 2KM is common for pei hwa thus 2B letter is not a bao jiak.
have a plan B ready.
(like RGPS or BTPS)

EDIT:
bro, your address is near your RC right?

Balloting at 2B for SCs >2km in every recent year. Past 2 years even reduced their intake to 270 due to going single session. Ask yourself is it worth all that trouble just for a famous SAP school. Don’t forget it’s also famous for high workload especially your kid’s Chinese must be very high standard. Be prepared to coach personally or cough up $$ for tuition from kindergarten to P6.

So, let’s say if did not get thru the Phase2B at PeiHwa, then how? Wait till Phase 3 and 3(S) complete then approach an alternative school?

Say 2b balloting then fail.
Then apply phase 2c as a public for schools within your 1km. Peihwa sure ballot within 1km for phase 2c.

Actually, my intention for plan b is, to execute during phase 2b.
There’s 2 days for phase 2b.
U can apply during day 1.
By end of day, you will have the numbers from moe (or even the distance breakdown from the school directly - please take leave and station at the school to monitor the real time info)

Then on day 2, you can decide if you want to hold and ballot.
Or withdraw and apply Bukit Timah pri sch without balloting.

My 2 cents.

Hi skii, when u said execute Plan B, u meant apply for Phase 2c during day1 of Phase 2b?

day 2 of phase 2b
eg: peihwa applicant more than spaces and balloting outside 2km,
jump ship to rgps, bukit timah pri (during day 2)

Once registration for Phase 2b is closed then phase 2c would be opened for registration.

The registration dates for both phases are different.

What skii meant was on the last day of registration at phase 2b, if balloting is required for pei hwa for.those living outside 2km, one might want to consider going to another school that has a higher chance of getting in.

So you need to.monitor the no of.applicants vs vacancy very carefully and decide.on the.last day of.phase 2b which school you want.to.register your.child with.
