Oh haha, so they update all only at the end of registration phase? Thought they will update like today number and tomorrow another number. 😂

Nope, thats why i think parents in 2B and 2C will just be flying blind as no end of day updates at all.
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)

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.

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.

Thank you so much ! Noted on your suggestion .. Makes sense 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

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.

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 !

Ya, the mk effect is really disheartening

So there is no update tomorrow, and can only see new update on 20 July

What's mk effect?

The effect from MOE Kindergarten Phase 2A(2) priority.

For example in Punggol:
Oasis Primary School: 116 vacancies, 42 applicants
Punggol Cove Primary School: 117, 33
Punggol Green Primary School: 98, 67
Punggol View Primary School: 76, 64
Waterway Primary School: 114, 51
As these are all relatively new primary schools, there should be very few alumni applying to the schools.

You can see the same trend in other primary schools elsewhere with MK.
