[quote=hllow post_id=1922578 time=1564035687 user_id=179925]Hello all,

I am new to primary school registration and would like to ask the following question. A bit of background is I am staying 1-2km for both poiching and st hildas which are the nearest school to my place. No other nearer school that's within 1km *sob sob* and I am only qualified for 2C, both me and child are SC. And I've heard both schools usually required balloting so I was wondering:
- I understood that the website of application will be updated daily for 2C during the few days of registration period. Should I wait until the last day of application and check the number of application first before deciding to go to poiching or st hildas? Does it even work that way?
- Is the best way to assess risk of 2c is to look at the actual applicant in 2018 and compare to the vacancy left? There is no way for us to see if the applicant are belonging to less than 1km or 1-2km?
- any other useful advice for first time newbie?

Thank you all!

Here you go https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=91621&start=20#p1922487

I posted earlier. See link above

Poi Ching is -43 and St hilda is -35

Most likely both <1km ballot. Even in a situation where poi Ching encounter a balloting for 1-2km, the odd is v low.

You can adopt a wait and see for the results to unveil to you, look at the last day and then proceed to apply.

Please look for alternative as the odds is stacking against you.

Can I confirm that I can be on standby on 1 Aug and check the latest application status for both poiching and st Hilda's at says 12pm, and go to apply the one that doesn't have application more than available slot? Is there a way to see the applicant whether how many are less than 1km and how many are 1-2km?

Thanks![/quote]Either call the school or standby there.

Since you are > 1km from St Hilda Primary School, you can skip the school and not waste your time.

Your only hope, and a slim one at that, is Poi Ching. By the end of second day, you should have an idea from MOE website your chances (I suspect applicants > vacancies). On the last day, you can drop by the school and ask (nicely) for a breakdown if they do not have a display for it.

Your more realistic option, would be to consider another school.[/quote]I thought poiching is in a worse situation than st hildas as it's minus 43 vs Hilda's minus 35?

The other 3 schools that are within 2 km are junyuan , tampines primary and damai. Should I go for them at 2C or try my luck at poiching first and go for the other 3 at 2CS phase?

P1 registration: 19 schools to hold ballot for places

The reporter never come to KSP forum to check the actual balloting data ah. Only rely on MOE website :spank:

You have 0% chance for SHPS and maybe 1% chance for PC. You can drop by and say hi to PC enroute to one of the other 3 in Phase 2C. No need to wait for Phase 2CS before applying

Under phase 2C, parents can apply either online or personally at the school as per moe website.

If i register online, can i withdraw before registration close ? how to do this?
what strategy can i use in phase 2c for Peihwa and bukit timah primary?
any advise, share of thoughts are much appreciated. thanks

I wonder how the school is going to provide actual data of the breakdown by distance when they have online registration and people walking into their offices at the same time

That is why online registration closes 1 day before the final day of walk-in registration (ie. the crucial final-final day. Don’t want to risk suddenly an online application coming in at 4:29:59pm to jump the physical Q).

hllow

if you would kindly open the link i posted and see the exact number

PC is potentially 158 (2018 applicants) 115 vacancies (2019)
SHPS is 102 for 67 spots.

Percentage wise SHPS is worse off than PC.

SHPS is confirmed <1km balloting.

anyways, last year stats PC is 158 for 57 spots (2.77 times) and SHPS is 102 to 20 spots (5.1 times). Traditionally SHPS is 2 times oversubscribed and they are the <1km folks.

Sorry, if you are new and you need to register this year, you really need alot alot of catch up.
