      After Day 1 for P2A2, there are five schools who are going for ballot and probably four more to join them after Day 2.

      Five schools going for P2A2 balloting:
      1. Catholic
      2. Nan Hua
      3. Nanyang
      4. Pei Hua Presb
      5. Rosyth

      Potentially four more:
      1. Punggol Green
      2. CHIJ St. Nicholas
      3. Temasek
      4. Red Swastika

      Saw that Junyuan in Tampines is left with 11 after yesterday numbers. I'm guessing parents are registering there and monitoring St. Hilda's. Expect some musical chairs for places in the Tampines area.

      Look at both Junyuan and St. Hilda's number, become more interesting for us under 2C. Should I still go to Poi Ching as 1st choice, then keep eyes on St. Hlida's? both within 1KM.. :scratchhead:

        i'm curious if the MOE kindergarten pupils able to register in 2A2 has any effect on the numbers for the current phase

        There is a definite effect. However, the impact is not evenly felt.
        For example: Fern Green, Sengkang Green, Springdale in SK and Oasis, Punggol Green, Punggol View in PG are some examples of those schools with an uptick in numbers (most / all don’t have any alumni with children of school going age). Others see less or no significant difference in their numbers.

        Just a quick round up for the possible \"MK Effect\" for Phase 2A2 (for schools with K2 only). Schools with > 50 applicants are in bold.

        North:
        Northoaks - 11 for 156
        Riverside - 66 for 72

        Northeast:
        Oasis - 59 for 133
        Punggol Cove - 31 for 113
        Punggol Green - 64 for 74
        Punggol View - 50 for 129

        Waterway - 28 for 152
        Fern Green - 44 for 169
        Sengkang Green - 73 for 118
        Springdale - 60 for 125


        South:
        Farrer Park - 9 for 82
        Blangah Rise - 4 for 35

        East:
        Gongshang - 37 for 72 (??? should be affiliated to MK @ Tampines)

        West:
        Dazhong - 23 for 83
        West Spring - 57 for 63
        Frontier - 64 for 92
        Westwood - 62 for 80


        CONCLUSION (IMHO of course 😉 😞
        - MK has a BIG effect and will have a BIG role to play in the phases to come.

        - Parents aiming for schools housing MK but entering in much later Phases (2B and 2C)... good luck and 🙏 :xedfingers: because you are going to need it. Most, especially those in bold, have less seats available this year (and likely in the years to come if the pattern holds).

        - Some of these schools are traditionally 'back-up' schools for Phase 2Cs. If that's your game plan, good luck. They may no longer be an option in Phase 2Cs :evil:

          Lexy\" post_id=\"1920171\" time=\"1563304375\" user_id=\"12180:

          TEMASEK PRIMARY SCHOOL
          METHODIST GIRLS' SCHOOL (PRIMARY)
          TAO NAN SCHOOL
          RULANG PRIMARY SCHOOL
          CHIJ PRIMARY (TOA PAYOH)
          ANGLO-CHINESE SCHOOL (PRIMARY)
          PEI HWA PRESBYTERIAN PRIMARY SCHOOL
          CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL
          ST. ANDREW'S JUNIOR SCHOOL
          CHIJ ST. NICHOLAS GIRLS' SCHOOL
          ROSYTH SCHOOL

          The above have worse off vacancy to start off in 2B than in last year (dragon year) and have deficit as compared to 2018 applicants - should be a primary fight zone.
          Temasek lost 11 spots and look set to be back for balloting for the first time since 2013
          MGS lost 10 spots and looks to be balloting within 1km
          TNS looks tougher although traditionally has been a <1km fight zone (lost 9 spots)
          RPS, CHIJ TPY, ACSP lost 6, 5, 4 respectively.

          Other interesting mover is St Hilda which saw a significant increase in vacancies and alot of eligible folks will be eyeing on it. Kong Hwa also saw an increase in vacancies.
          Eyeing on St. Hilda now.. But the ration for 2C should be still around 2. So better keep Poi Ching as our 1st choice..

            Hi, any advice for PR girl for Phase 2C:

            1> Edgefield < 1km
            2> Oasis < 1km
            3> Waterway 1-2km

            should i register on the last day of Ph 2C to monitor first?
            You should have an opening for Edgefield and Waterway. Hence, I will keep those two in mind.

            No point rushing to apply on the first day. Monitor and decide which of the two schools to pick from and register on the last day.

              Many parents smart already. All register last day afternoon. Numbers you see are not a true reflection of demand.

                        Hi all,


                        I am intending to monitor a few schools during Phase 2B day 1 before making a decision on day 2 based on my chances. Does anyone know if schools will give the figures (no. of applicants and chances) over the phone? Or do you have to go down to the school to ask? I can't imagine having to travel between 3 or 4 schools every couple of hours!

                        I was intending to go with St Gabriels Primary as my safe choice in Phase 2B >2km, but it seems like they have more applicants this year than last! And ironically, SJIJ and Maris Stella have better figures this year than last! Getting really nervous that it would be a balloting for ALL 3 schools this year for 2B>2km!

                        these figures from https://balloting.xyz/ (big thanks to whoever who did this!)
