eyeing PLMGS as new house (already did hdb completion today) is within 1km, SC

Back up plans are to:
...
3a. register CHIJ OLGC during 2CS (1km from current IC address)
...

1km from current address... but what distance from new address?
You may be in breached of the 30months rule

There is no home distance advantage for Yangzheng in 2B as it was undersubscribed so 30months rule doesn’t apply. So she can still keep the 2B place if she so chooses.[/quote]floppy meant OLGC option.

When will we know when if balloting is required?

Very safe. Shoo-in for any distance, no matter SC or PR. It seems a nice friendly & holistic school, deep inside a landed estate though. Was actually one of my backup schools (and I live in the North!)

Looks like it’s not shoo in now as opera estate only has 15 seats left in 2C. Either give up Temasek and not risk losing backup or try balloting at Temasek (within 1km already need balloting) and need to look for other schools if it doesn’t work out. Suggestions?

You can consider looking at single gender schools in the East, then either CHIJ Katong or Haig Girls (for Girls) and St Stephen's (for Boys).. these schools are looking good at 2C for SC, maybe even PRs. in 2CS, I think not so safe.

Hi,

Have got a place under 2B in Yangzhen, but eyeing PLMGS as new house (already did hdb completion today) is within 1km, SC, which traditionally didn't need balloting every year.

But called up school today after 430pm, they informed that this year is very unusual, about 62 SC 1km< have already registered out of 85 vacancies! Dragon year 2018 only saw 66 SC 1km<. Abit stressed now.

Back up plans are to:
1. Stay in Yangzhen
2. Withdraw and register 2C at PLMGS (but at what odd is sensible???) and if fail to,
3a. register CHIJ OLGC during 2CS (1km from current IC address)
3b. Register back in YZPS during 2CS but seems like would not have vacancies by then.

Any kind advice please?
Thank you!

If you can live with your 2CS schools, then I think you can try balloting at PLMGS. Look at the odds on the last day and decide. Otherwise safer option to OLGC since within 1km.

I think you have good info at hand, get the numbers at the end of the today then tomorrow decide in the afternoon if you want to withdraw and register at PLMGS. Please kindly check all the necessary documents required for TOP or newly completed unit with the PLMGS and no hiccups here. Odd threshold has to be mutually accepted by both parents, know what you in for. I think all SC <1km should be safe. (last year 66 within 1km for 68 spots, and 93 applied, so many >1km :faint: )

Yangzheng - someone else will be happy when you withdraw as it will be full by 2C. so there is no turning back once you withdraw.

OLGC first day number is higher this year. you need to spare 13-15 for 2Cs for your within 1km to work. then again, if there is balloting, then 30 month rule may apply.

Anyone has the breakdown applicants for nyps?

All within 1km, SC. If you have daughter try RGPS safer.

Hi!

I had registered online earlier. Anyone know if I can withdraw online and do registration again online? Or need to go register in school physically after withdrawal online?

Thanks in advance!

Deciding backup is also very tough. Alexandra, she has no chance. Only New town left, let’s see! Thanks a lot for the insights!

What about GESPS?

I think you can. But online ends today. So any registration or withdrawal will have to be done physically at the school. Get your documents ready.
