Why not North Vista if its near? Heard the P was from Kong Hwa.
fail for NC ballot, any one can give advise on 2CS?
1) Anchor green
2) Palm view
3) Seng Kang primary -
Got balloted out of Fern Green at < 1 km, contemplating our options for 2CS
1. Anchor Green < 1km - seems high chance of balloting, already oversubscribed on 1st day
2. Palm View 1-2km - seems like no balloting required but maybe too early to say?
Any advice or feedback on these 2 schools? Why are there so much fewer applicants for Palm View compared to previous years? -

1. Too soon to tell, less than half applied for this area.

2. Palm view has lower take up as some other schools are MK. Palm view intake is usually 240 except for 2018 which was increased to 270 and this year 280. So the take up this year is more than last year at the same point.
Fernvale will be full first then followed by palm view. -

Riding on again, I read this article https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/2020-p1-registration-for-2021-intake-balloting-probability/ and wondering if the probability for Palm View would still be accurate (that there is a probability Palm View will be balloting for >2km) cos it seems that there is 153 child balloted out of Nan Chiau and Palm View is within 1km?

The bulk probably is 1-2km of Palm View.

Got ballot out from NC <1km.
Our block is just 1 min walk away
SD is full now.
Anchor Green Primary also need for ballot for phase 2Csnow.
SO stressful.
Is just SO hard to get a “nearby” walking distance school -

NC is popular. Staying nearby doesn’t seem to be the advantage since there are so little slots but Super high demand.
