2019 P1 Registration Exercise for 2020 In-take

[AhKoon]

Hi Davischew,


If I understand correctly, the chance of getting into Northland/ Huamin under 2CS is zero based on previous data?
For Northland/ Huamin, there is balloting required for 2C for SCs that live <1KM?
Correct me if I am wrong.

So my best chance will be to monitor all 3 to see which one better chance of balloting for 2C? and forget about getting in Northland/ Huamin under 2CS?

Thanks again!!

Hi all,

Looking to enroll my boy into ChongFu under 2C (<1km) and my next choice (2CS) will be Northland/ Huamin Pri.
What are the chances that he will get into ChongFu? Will Northland or Huamin be filled up before 2CS?

Any suggestion/ advice? Pls help! Appreciate all feedback!

For the last few years, all the 3 schools you mentioned balloted for <1km at 2C. Probably need to monitor all 3 to see which one better chance of balloting on the last day.

hello

i am a PR living in Newton Area. Plan of registration was going to be St. Joseph Inst first in 2C and if we can't get in, BTPS. However, i am now wondering if I should just apply BTPS directly in 2C because the number of spaces are reduced compared with previous years i.e. if I keep that as my second option in 2C supplementary I might not get a place.

Reason because, there's a reduction of 30 places this yr it seems? Am I right in interpreting this table below?

Would appreciate some wise counsel on whether to try for SJI in 2C and fall back on BTPS in supplementary if SJI is full and no space for PRs.

Many thanks!

nervous mum who is first time applying for primary school for my kids...

SJIJ 100% no chance for PR in 2C. Maybe can consider BTPS in 2C

Thanks Hendon. I am around Queensway/Farrer Rd. The Catholic co-ed schools are quite far, and initially was hoping for SJIJ and CHIJ TP in 2B, but as a PR seems no chance, so resorting to Queenstown or BTPS for 2C. Was just at last minute exploring 2B option.

I was also considering CHIJ Kellock for my daughter in 2B (PR > 2km), but can't really find a catholic boys school in the area. Any suggestions?

You need to look beyond Bukit Merah for Catholic Boys schools. Where do u stay? Must be prepared to travel. Why not Catholic Co-Ed schools? This will give u more options.

Refer to this list under primary schools to find the catholic schools http://accs.sg/directory/ or here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_education_in_Singapore#List_of_Educational_Institutes

Below from MOE.
If your child is unsuccessful in Phase 2C Supplementary, they will be posted to a school with available vacancy. You will be informed of the outcome on the results announcement day through SMS.
