Hi.

If balloting is required in Phase 2A(1) and my daughter doesn’t get a place in this phase, is she automatically bumped to Phase 2A(2)? If so, does she have to go through balloting if this phase is also oversubscribed?

thanks.

If 2a1 is oversubscribed, 2a2 will be skipped, there will be no 2a2.

Sorry, you only get 1 chance under Phase 2A. If balloting occurs in Phase 2A(1), then there will be zero overflow places left for Phase 2A(2). The next phase would be Phase 2B (if you qualify), and then Phase 2C.

Thanks for the replies.


So, if I qualify for Phase 2A (1) and to increase my chances of getting into Phase 2A (1) without balloting, I should also look at distance from the school (i.e. within 1km)? If I qualify for Phase 2A (1) and stay within 1km, will it be more or less a shoo-in?

so far, based on facts from historial past years balloting, whenever there was a balloting conducted under Phase 2A(1) St Nick, balloting took place, for SC > 2 km

Yes. Plenty of housing choices <1km of the school. If she’s gonna be there for 10 years, definitely worth the move.

Yeah, now it's just a matter of house hunting. Thanks!

status update .... 2019 DSA batch (born 2007)


this year (2019) -

CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' Secondary received overwhelming response , in terms of # of DSA applications received (submitted by 2019 P6 students, via online portal), both from our own internal pool of students, as well as from outside, external applicants (from other primary schools) too.

example

compared to last year (2018 batch), just for one (IP) Academic Science DSA domain alone :
our Secondary school side had received 500 applications more than last year
Probably due to the ease of (facilitated) submitting applications online, at the easy click of a button on computer (notebook), seated comfortably in an arm-chair at home, no need to spend time travelling (drive / take bus or mrt) down to Secondary school physical premises anymore, just to manually submit certified documents (achievement certificates / testimonial, etc)

Besides, no need to pay Application fees ($20 to $50) anymore, unlike in the past (before 2019), hence made it attractive to apply, online conveniently

2019, offered below DSA domain

Leadership : both OP and IP


Sports : both OP and IP

7 type of Sports include (badminton, netball, table-tennis, hockey, track and field, artistic / rhythmic gymnastics)


3 type of Academic domain (Bilingualism / Maths / Science) : for IP only
As St Nick is a SAP school, for languages, we only offer \"Bilingualism\". There is no \"English\" domain, here

https://chijstnicholasgirls.moe.edu.sg/secondary/dsa-sec-2019/admission-to-secondary-1-year-1-in-chij-st-nicholas-girls-school-ay2020


going forward, 2 years from today, for students born 2009 (ie. current 2019 P4s batch)
because rolling out (kick off) AL for pioneering batch, forsee (predict) that the # DSA applications will soar even far higher !


abbreviation
OP (O-level program)
IP (Integrated program, by-pass O-level exam)



=====================================================

Similarly, our \"brethren\" (brother) (Catholic High school) likewise, also received overwhelming response, for 2019 # DSA Applications received.

Catholic High stated on school website, that

\"
We have received an overwhelming number of applications and will carefully consider each one.

If you do not receive a notification by 22 July for trials/ auditions and 13 August for interviews, it would mean that your son has not been shortlisted.

We would like to encourage all students who are not shortlisted, to work towards a high level of achievement at PSLE, and we invite them to consider applying to CHS again, post-PSLE \"
