      Not sure about the other sch but st gabriel and maris stella is about 30 mins walk away? It’s quite difficult to monitor 3 schools! Guess u need to choose your first choice. Be there, then if the risk is high or no balloting chance for >2km, u can faster go 2nd choice. So on…

        St Gabriels is not far from my house. Just that is a little over 2 km. About 12 mins drive.

          Do you know if schools can let you know numbers over the phone? I can then just drive down right away. Thanks!

            Do you mean registration is first come first serve?

            \"red number\" maybe cannot get, but is first come first serve. Maybe SPools should consider balloting lol

              I think you have stressed yourself too much, unnecessarily.

              If your first choice is St Gabriel, vacancy for 2B is 45. The highest number of applicants during 2B is 37-38 (year 2014) since 2006. I think you can close shop and apply and welcome you to primary 1.

              Both Maris Stella and SJIJ are usual balloting at 2km if not 1-2km. Balloting odds like 2 to 1 is not for everyone.

              Other schools like St Stephen or De Lasalle would be alternative with no such risk. Distance is not a matter given that you want a catholic school.

                [quote=Orb post_id=1920450 time=1563367492 user_id=25015]For the benefit of parents going for the 3 popular catholic boys school in 2B.
                Numbers are for 2017 registration....

                SJI Jr
                59 vacancies, 82 applied
                Balloting >2km
                42 applicants vying for 27 vacancies.

                Maris Stella
                69 vacancies, 63 applied
                Balloting >2km
                45 vying for 27

                Catholic High
                28 vying for 24
                Balloting for <1km

                No details on number of PRs for the 3 schools.

                The numbers above are inaccurate for Maris Stella.

                What’s the accurate numbers?[/quote]Maris Stella only had 60 vacancies and no ballot

                  You should consider monfort junior as your 2CS backup

                      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!)
                      1st day numbers don't give you an accurate picture on the demand. I would suggest you go on 2nd day and then decide.
