      Hi,
      Want to seek your advice and opinion. I am registering for p1 this year for 2021 cohort under 2c. Checked the distance calculator and we are 1.1 km away from temasek pri, which needs balloting. Does this mean that we are considered as being 1-2km away? Wondering if the distance affects anything.

      We are also considering either tg katong pri or ngee ann pri. Not sure which one would be a better choice. My child is SC and we are living in the Bayshore area.

      Thank you in advance. Did not know how competitive p1 registration is until now! Appreciate your help ๐Ÿ™‚
      Use OneMap to check distance. Distance matters everything. Temasek 1-2km no chance. Ngee Ann <2km and Tanjong Katong any distance for SC will be safe for 2C.

        anything more than 1km is 1-2km. Dont waste your chance in temasek in 2C. 2C this year likely balloting within 1km.
        I couldnt comment on school choice, but ngee ann has affiliation

          MOE only uses One Map School Query. You should use the same app. Not other distance calculators. We can tell by the decimal points that you are using the wrong app.

            Ngee Ann is a wiser choice.

            Not just having affliation only

            Of the 3 schools u mentioned, (Tanjong Katong, Ngee Ann and Temasek), Ngee Ann is the best, if you can get in

            In Marine Parade area
            ,
            Ngee Ann is the 2nd most popular highly-sought-after primary school, after Taonan. (popular, because Taonan is GEP + SAP school). But, for parents who do not hunger after nor interested in GEP school, Ngee Ann is their Top choice. Not all parents in Singapore want their kids to study, in GEP school

            However,
            based on your distance from ( home to school), if cannot get into Ngee Ann, then go for the school, while u still can enter, based on the distance that qualify you, on the last day of Phase 2C balloting, obtain the latest figures, after 3.45 pm afternoon (2C, last day) by distance break down for SC.

            If fail to enter Ngee Ann via balloting, eg. No chance to even ballot,
            either Temasek or TKPS, also good

            Use one map application tool, to verify your distance

            Because

            This is the accurate official tool used by MOE, to confirm your actual distance. Not use any other tool, in case end up in un-necessary confusion yourself

              Where do we obtain the latest figures, after 3.45 pm afternoon (2C, last day) by distance break down for SC?

              The MOE website does not provide such figures,

                Try calling the school and let us know. Probably also no stats from them.
                Basically for this year, based on past stats and current vacancies, throw your application and pray.

                        Fengshan, Red Swastika and Yu Neng most probably need to ballot <1km.
                        I suggest St. Anthonyโ€™s Canossian, no balloting for 1-2km, and with affiliated secondary.
