So the advice for us is don’t buy a house in Whampoa? (In prevention of needing to ballot?)[/quote]Err... if your sole purpose of buying a house is for school, then it’s probably not a good idea. You are buying a house for a chance at balloting (same for all other popular schools), what’s the point?
Far but not if you are staying on the other side of the expressway, over at McNair, Little India or Boon Keng. 1km is a radius.floppy\" post_id=\"1925593\" time=\"1564654800\" user_id=\"97579:

because stamford and bendeemer are really quite far off as compared to HWS if you are staying at Balastier-Whampoa / Boon Keng. Most likely the former 2 schools are the backup 2CS schools.
Those staying at Whampoa are basically a captive audience. You have no real alternatives and no where to run to. Your only option is to ballot at HWS.
Thus, when you have one group with no where else to go, and another group who is happy to join in because their alternative is the same place they would have gone anyway if they have lost the ballot, you end up in this situation.
There are various reasons why people buy a house and each property comes with pros and cons. -

I think everyone is waiting for 2C balloting status, meaning which category will require balloting. Understand that results will be out in 7 August.

If your concern is whether your child has been registered at phase 2C depending on your profile i.e. SC or PR as well as distance of home from school, you might want to call the school to check, they should be able to give you a sense of which category your child is in even before the results are announced next Wednesday. However here's the caveat - should your child belong to the category which requires balloting then you will have an agonising wait till 7 Aug.

Y sad thing? Some parents who failed to get a place in HWS shared that they are actually happy with bendemeer ps though.[/quote]It is a quite a long walk from HWS to BPS. If can get school downstairs why want to wake up early and walk so far. The traffic at Towner road is quite bad during the morning school time.
Every morning I will see students wearing bendemeer primary school uniform crossing the bridge and walking past HWS to their school. It will be a sad thing for them. The government even closed the balastier primary school last year.firstda\" post_id=\"1925605\" time=\"1564656770\" user_id=\"161495:

Else choose a 100% no ballot school in the 1st place.
That to say, some area have really limited choices though. -

Any ideas on the numbers/category for that?I saw several KSPs saying that the school refused to disclose. So u can only wait a few hours more for the reveal. Just hang tight. Hopefully by afternoon or evening today. -

Here the number for Bukit Timah Primary seems wrong. Should have 85 applicants instead of 60 I believe.
