No. Best strategy is to station each spouse (or other family member) at each school that you’re eyeing. Only the school has the stats. If they don’t actively update the board on-site, ask the staff politely.

MOE has not come up with a “live” updating system. Maybe u can propose to your higher-ups as a GRL?

Hahahaha Floppy..


Well, vacancy and distance are some of the criteria but I can't find a ranking by CCA / results / ranking of sorts that could assist in the selection.

The next best method would be using, \"popularity\" i.e. the Phase 2C or 2CS application trend as an indicator.

To put it bluntly, the thought process is like this:

- since u are privileged to live <1km of NCPS, the most popular school in the NE (other than Mee Toh), just go ahead & use your chance, ballot regardless of the odds. If u don’t get in, then pick whichever 2CS school nearest your house. Bear in mind that all the other neighbors leftover from NCPS who failed will also apply to the same 2CS school. If 2CS also failed ballot, then request MOE for nearest leftover school before phase 3.

- if you don’t wish to undergo balloting at all, eg some people proclaim they never ever have luck at lucky draw, then pick a 2C school in NE area that has historically few applicants. None of them are terribly bad, as far as I know.

2014 has birth numbers comparable to the dragon year. i wonder if MOE will increase the number of places in the schools. Or more accurately, which schools will have places increase?

[HHMummy]

Don’t recall the numbers were increased for 2012 dragon year…those in the know may enlighten

The best you can hope for is for the numbers to stay the same as Dragon year. May not be possible for all schools though. Have to consider the physical space / resources available.

Yes the seats were increased for this recent 2012 Dragon year batch (now going P2 in 2020).

But only at certain selected schools. They added 30 places (ie one class) at various less popular schools across the island. Mostly in northeast region to cater to the population demand there.

Don’t be too hopeful for SG50 or SG51 batch. Even if they choose to add more seats, won’t be in those hot schools lah.

Coz those hot schools had already maxed out their capacity to cater to high demand every year regardless of which animal or SGXX year
