Wonder if 2c applicant numbers for the more popular schools with MK will differ from previous years given some of the 2c demand may have shifted to 2a2.

Yes definitely it will be a different ball game in time to come, with more maturing MK schools. Hopefully it will take the heat off the more popular schools. Those more popular schools, if embedded with MK, then hmm..

I did 1 for punggol. for SK area the 6 schools (CV, FG, NC, RV, SKG, SD) with very close to full or over subscribe drop about 15% places this year compared to last. Even with a slightly reduced application number like 10% down. i think the situation is pretty similar to last year.

First advise is to check your map - OneMap to be exact. You cannot be within 1km of both NCPS and SK Green as the two schools’ catchment (save for a few SBS Transit office space) is mutually exclusive.

General rule of the thumb: east of the river, you are part of the opposition and in NCPS space; west of the river, you are part of PM Lee protectorate and is in SKG space.

P/S: Sound very much like you will be a new resident in Rivercove Residences. You have to first decide whether you want to ballot for NCPS: roughly 3 applicants to 1 vacancy at the moment. If you decide to ballot, you are effectively left with Springdale or Anchor Green as your backup for Phase 2CS (Fern Green also, but there’s no reason to do a river crossing everyday).

Fern green will go for ballot this year and Springdale wil not have spots in 2CS. so which ever choice you made, anchor green will be your left over choice amongst the 5 you listed.

SK green should be a horror story - maybe this year will exceed the % of NCPS, rough guess is 4 times. whilst NCPS is 3x+ as Floppy stated.

I felt so as the SKG vacancy left with too little. So the safest bet will be balloting for Springdale then? I have totally no idea about anchor green primary....[/quote]SD just more likely to be filled up (whether its SC or PRs) by 2C.

How about the one you did for punggol for those with MK?

If RGPS ballots, it ballots. There’s nothing much you can do about it. All you can do is plan for backup school.

If you are within 1km and no other alternative in 2C, just apply and don’t pay too much attention to the numbers and go with the flow. No point worry about things you cannot control. As what Floppy suggested, think of a 2Cs back up choice as a back up.

(Assume you have not already gotten a place in earlier phases)
