The most important thing is which school you can realistically get in. No point discussing the merits of each school but can’t get in.
Hello, I am new here. My daughter (SC) will be enrol to the primary this year. I know Mee Toh is very popular, but scare my Gal will b very stressful and cannot catch up. M I thinking too much?
Now I m very headache. Can I have the advice which school to choose under Phase 2C ?
Within 1km : Mee Toh, Horizon & Waterway
Thank you in advance. Please advise...Tks..Tks[/quote]
Mee Toh will ballot for SC < 1km, with odds close to or exceed 3 to 1. For Waterway, you should get in without needing to ballot < 1km. Horizon is a little unknown this year, probably safe for SC < 1km. Therefore, the real question the kind of stress level you can endure during balloting, and do you realistically have a backup for Phase 2Cs. -

Horizon has dropped 40 intake places from 2019 and 80 places from 2018.
Waterway dropped vacancies in 2C from 246 to 164 to this year maybe around 92.
Mee toh places available palces is around the same as 2018 and roughly look like a 2X balloting odds. (caution, day 2 of 2B unknown at the moment)
The total applicants at punggol area till 2B is roughly 300 more than 2018 and 2019. another 1300 to 1400 ppl will apply in 2C. (higher than 2019 but lower than 2018)
On school choices - if you already have reservation on Mee Toh and its the most competitive to get in amongst the 3, is it something you want to go for?
Together with the 3 above, Punggol cove, Punggol Green (most competitive overall) and Punggol View and Oasis all will be gg for some form of balloting. These 7 schools has about 500+ left for 2C this year and 2019 has close to 1000 applicants, you can see how fierce the competition is and It will need some applicants to go for northshore (new this year) and also valour (new last year) to take some numbers off the heat. -

A lot of would-be phase 2C applicants have move forward their applications to Phase 2A2. Thus, Phase 2C may see less shocking number of applicants. -
But what if the population of 6 year olds in Northeast Singapore has boomzed compared to last year…?

Taking account of your views, it could be around 1200, that would be slightly lower than 2019 applicants, just that the vacancies for the 7 schools shrunk alot more (860+- last year vs 545+- now)
