      Ok if we view it objectively, most people will want a taste of popularity if it is not too risky to take.
      Therefore if there is a happy-2CS (worst case scenario), then stick to NC 1-2km 2B.
      If there isn’t, then think very hard why NC is preferred to SD.

        Don't need 2CS in this case, SD 2C 1-2km already sure in.

          i am very appreciative to all those who have responded and shared their views… i guess, it is my duty to try my best to try to get my child into the best school possible… nc was recognised as one of the better school in SK as u can see from past balloting… surely this school must have its own merits that warrant so many parents fighting for a place…


          update: nc has called me that i do not have a chance for balloting… hence i have withdrawn my application and resubmit a new one today… do note that if a parent wishes to withdraw, they still need to email the school to inform the withdrawal as the school need to issue a withdraw letter in order for the new school to accept in system… (i just went through the withdrawal process via email as the new school called me that NC need to withdraw in the system)

              Its good that NC called you up, there is no wrong of what you are doing. Parents would want the best for the children. That's why we are \"station\" here to support the parents who need help.

                Hi Parents,


                Will be enrolling my son for Phase 2C soon. We are contemplating between North Vista and Rivervale.

                NVPS - we are within 1 km and based on 2B results there shld be abt 135 vacancies so shld be able to get in. But looking through the school website it seems quite limited in areas like CCAs

                Rivervale - school offerings seem more impressive and we’ve heard good reviews but of coz it’s more popular and we are in the 1-2 km category. Based on 2B results there shld be ard 127 vacancies left.

                Question is which shld we go for? Will we have a chance for Rivervale?

                  Rivervale usually ballot <1km. North Vista sure in.

                      Not sure about cca options.

                      I think many many many years ago, one of the top psle scorers was from Rivervale, hence the popularity.
                      And many many years ago, North Vista had to ballot 2C 1km, it was quite popular then. They used to use tablets for school, not sure if they still do so now.
