For temasek primary sch, 1 to 2km will have chanc in phase 2c? Or usually taken up with 1km?

See https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/singapore-primary-1-registration-school-balloting-history/

Take note that their in-take has been reduced to 200 in stead of 240.

We have exercised OTP for a resale in Punggol. Both Horizon and Mee Toh are within 1km.

We have the option for 2A1 at Gongshang Primary. Thinking if should forgo 2A1 or ballot for 2C for MeeToh/Horizon. What are the chances or should just go ahead with Gongshang?
Is there a possibility to request for transfer after the P1 registration exercise?

Punggol is an extremely young estate, and Mee Toh / Horizon are both popular with the residents. There are at least 2 or 3 other schools within the same 1km radius. If you don't ballot for these 2 schools, the likelihood of a successful transfer is very low because all your neighbours you meet are either eyeing the schools or seeking a transfer.

Any recommendation between Teck Ghee Primary School or Anderson Primary School in terms of extra curriculum choices and school’s academic performance? Many thanks for any kind advice.

Thanks Floppy.. hard decision to make. if cant get into this, will have to look for alternative again.. maybe should just stick to Gongshang and travel instead.

https://www.moe.gov.sg/admissions/primary-one-registration/vacancies[/quote]Yah man. Quite a number of schools not in multiples of 30, and got quite a few schools even go down to the single digit e.g. Pei Hwa's 224 vacancies and St Margaret's 192 vacancies.

Is there something going on at these schools? In Temasek (and a few other), are they looking at 25 students per class?

Mee Toh and Horizon are guaranteed to go into balloting, and you can't go back to Gongshang if you choose to withdraw and participate in their balloting at Phase 2C.

TBH, not that hard a decision. There are still Oasis, Waterway, Punggol View and a few other options.

Hi all…am staying in Punggol. Only within 1-2km from nan chiau( preferred sch). Wife’s primary school alumni is Hong Wen school. Not sure if should try balloting for nan chiau under the 1-2km category(which I think will be very over subscribed) or just go for Hong Wen.


Any inputs will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!
