May I know how are these compared to Bukit Timah? Seems like Bukit Timah is a popular 2CS choice as well.

2CS schools are comparable. Bukit Timah probably need to ballot >2km and it's quite a distance from Novena.

Think BTPS will ballot within 2km this year. Overflow from the area is double of previous years.[/quote]I agree with your view. Yet I'm still wondering where are all these children coming from?

Firstly the MOE increased BTPS seats, reduced PR quota. Yet still after 2C there are lesser seats in BTPS than last year. At least 50+ SCs took 2C seats. And still there are likely to be double SC applicants in 2CS vs last year, as you say.

What gives?

I am staying at Balmoral / Novena area, which school that is left is better?

Hi All,


My dd (SC) is unsuccessful with Pasir Ris Primary balloting (<1km)

P2CS - Schools in Pasir Ris left with vacancies
1. Casuarina Primary (within 1km) - 9 slots
2. Park View (Outside 2km) - 30slots
3. Meridian (Outside 2km) - 147slots

Ideally, we would like to go for Casuarina as DD is top priority but will most likely end up balloting - which we try to avoid.

Thoughts is to go for ParkView (P2CS). Last 5 years 2019-2015 all showed no balloting required for P2CS. And the consolation prize is ParkView is strong in Volleyball.

Also, worst case scenario if DD did not go into ParkView, will MOE allocate the next nearest school in Pasir Ris to DD? in this case most likely to be Meridian which has many vacancies left.

Thanks for any kind inputs.

Cheers

Just curious - anyone is successful in Phase2C balloting via "Online-form" registration instead of "P1-1S’ registration?


this year registration is lack of transparency resulting parents unable to make the best calls.

This year phase 2CS also end last day with online form availability. Which means the lack of information after day 2 result would probably end up with lots of changes again using the online form on the last day

exactly...bad year to register during covid crisis

MOE should implement real-time statistics for P1 registration

I think you’ve just answered your own qn. I’d come to the same conclusion as you.
