Can I just check for school with less than 10 seats left and I'm within 1km have a higher risk in balloting and cant get in? Or should I just go ahead with 80+ seats available within 1km?

If there are Eg. 8 seats left and you still want to try, then u have to go down and monitor on the last day, how many other applicants are there <1km? If there are exactly 8 applicants <1km going for 8 seats, then of course there is no balloting and all of u go in fine. But if suddenly one more appears before closing time, then you will be subject to balloting. Decide if u want to take the risk.

If u have another school with 80+ seats and also <1km, of course it seems safer. Just double check that there are not 80+++ applicants for that school lor.

Dear all kiasuparents users,

any recommended school in Sengkang for phase 2C supplementary? Currently left the following school for P2CS:

- Sengkang Primary - 52 students registered
- Northspring Primary - 56 students registered
- North Vista - 56 students registered
- Palm View - 97 students registered
- Anchor Green - 66 students registered

We are staying in Compassvale road and we just informed by MOE today that my kid’s P1 registration is unsuccessful. So just want to check with all the kiasuparents users to see the above primary school which is the best option.

Hi Bin98258, Might I know which school did you register unsuccessful if you don't mind? Thank you.

There is the wait and see approach before registering, and then there is the show your interest right at the start so that other parents not willing to ballot will avoid registering. But be prepared to withdraw if the odds (vacancies/applicants) from balloting are not what you can stomach.

Please note that any other parent is also free to choose either method and also have the option to withdraw. Sigh, it's difficult.

Maybe there should be camera snapshots of the registration area at the schools similar to that on the My Transport.SG App and this could be accessed on the MOE website and refreshed periodically. Save hassle of parents going down to monitor. Just a thought.

Not all schools update the stats on a board, so no use pointing a camera there.
If stats by distance can be updated by MOE real-time on their website, it should do the job.

At the moment, MOE updates the stats on applicants only at the end of each registration day when applicants go to the school.

MOE does not seem too keen on updating stats on distance at all.

LaraC, i guess you are refering to Fern Green/Anchor Green. If that's the case, there will be lots of spillover from Nan Chiau, so i suggest you don't try Fern Green. Even Anchor Green might be overwhelming. Probably monitor Anchor Green/Fernvale/Seng Kang.

Hi

Well my daughter's ballot was unsuccessful 😭
Anyone can predict if St Margaret is goin to be a popular choice amongst Singaporeans in phase 2c Supplementary? Because i dont think i am willing to go through another balloting process. My heart cannot take it anymore 😅

Why not try Marymount Convent or CHIJ Katong? More vacancies. Please take note St Margaret will be at a holding site.
