Better school or otherwise, won’t matter if you can’t get in. HPPS will likely have 20+ Vacancies for 2C only. The odds are typically quite low. You need to ask yourself whether you are comfortable with BTPS for the next 6 years.
Hello ! From a desperate mommy here who cant decide , thus seeking help here .:)
My kid qualifies for phrase 2A2 of Pei Chun , but its 13km away from our house.. Next option will be Henry Park in 2c. Within 1 km, but sure need to ballot... The last option will be Bukit Timah primary school .. Which option will you take if you were me ? Also , anyone knows if henry park or pei chun is a better school ?
Many many thanks for the advice. -
That is true ! Thanks so much for reminding me
So you would go for Pei Chun public school despite the distance? Comfortable or not with BTPS i really dont know ...Just got to convince myself every school is a good school .. haha
Thank you so much for the advice ! -
Every family / case is unique. Only you can answer and decide based on your circumstances.
My suggestion is not to get preoccupied with the physical distance. You can consider the logistics, how easy is it to get to school? Are you using private or public transport? School bus? Is there direct public transport (PCPS will most likely necessitate a change at Toa Payoh Interchange)? Sometimes, the actual time taken may not be that bad for the school that’s further away. -
Hello,
Anyone knows the probability of getting the 1st kid into the desired primary school if you 2nd kid managed to get in ?
Like do the school increase class size in P3 so there are more students ?
Mnay thanks ! -

So my hubby will be sending the kid and my parents picking him up .. Not too bad, but just afraid its too tiring for the old folks .. No school bus for now in my area .. haha.. Too far

Thanks so much for the info, i think this online internet system still have room for improvement afterall, cox for parents like me first time going through all this. Would not have so much info if we dont go to forum or other form of media for news.
Nope, thats why i think parents in 2B and 2C will just be flying blind as no end of day updates at all.En_ting\" post_id=\"1985736\" time=\"1594722934\" user_id=\"185769:
Oh haha, so they update all only at the end of registration phase? Thought they will update like today number and tomorrow another number. 😂
Also not to forget that the online form deadline is one day after the online system, so those results will not be apparent to those using the system
to summarize: you will not know how many people are applying for your school. So better to play it safe (specially for those school which have only like 2x vacancies in 2B/2C) -

Anyway for you, you only have 1 choice in 2A2, just go ahead and try out. If you can the spot (with or without balloting) then you can decide between the two.

Day 1 2A2 numbers are up on MOE -
The MK effect is very apparent this year. Didn’t cause any school to go over the top but I think parents aiming for these schools in Phase 2B and especially Phase 2C are definitely going to sweat.
After day 1, I think at least 4 schools are going to ballot. A few survive day 1 (barely!). Temasek Primary - wow. Didn’t see that coming. -

Ya, the mk effect is really disheartening
