If in the same phase, would you choose St Nicholas or Rosyth? Distance wise, St Nicholas is nearer.

This is only a dilemma for Phase 1 and Phase 2A(1).

For all other phases, you have zero chance if you’re not <1km of the school.

Here's the 'dilemma' you may have:
You could very well end up with neither.
1. SAJS ballot for Phase 2B > 2km, and you miss out.
2. CHS ballot for Phase 2C < 1km, and you miss out.

Thus, you don't really have a dilemma.

Apply for SAJS at Phase 2B > 2km, and see how things turn out. If you get a place, start thinking hard about CHS at Phase 2C < 1km and decide whether it's worth to give up a place. If you don't get a place in SAJS, you don't have much options beside CHS at Phase 2C < 1km.

If you don't get a place in CHS < 1km, you will have to look at the options available for Phase 2CS.

floppy did a good job answering your question. To me, his third point is most important. Do you have another younger child? If so, is it a girl? If you have a younger daughter, then St. Nick's probably the best choice, since your younger girl will bypass all these hassles when her time comes. But if you have a younger son, you have to do it all over again for his P1 registration.

Just a reminder... St. Nick's still pretty hot and hard to get in even for Phase 2A1. You must be prepared to ballot for a place.

Agreed. There is no dilemma between the 2 schools because they are in different phases and both require balloting.

Just try balloting at 2B (you don’t have any other reasonable choice assuming you are Anglican).

If u don’t get a seat at 2B, then try balloting at 2C (I recall Cat High balloting odds are extremely difficult, at close to 2 fighting for every 1 seat?)

If u don’t get a seat at 2C, then go to next stage 2C(S) whichever nearby that has seats left, probably Guangyang Primary or First Toa Payoh?

We are planning for a trip around Jul-August period. Anyone has any idea roughly what are the dates for each phase for P1 registration?

The dates are always in that July-August period. I suggest you skip your trip. Unless u’re willing to appoint a grandparent or trusted friend to handle the registration on your behalf.

This were the 2018 dates for your reference only.

The 2019 dates will not be released until May 2019 I think.

p1 registration is usually held around july to end aug every year. agree with zac's mom to skip the trip and settle this important matter to have peace of mind.
