Thanks for that! Hopefully it's the case. Keeping the fingers crossed. The results this year are all so bizzare!

You should be smiling now. Balloting for BTPS is above 2km. 👍🏻

Some schools shoot past the availability on the last day and mainly “benefited” the SC. Hopefully, not many PRs are caught in the bind.

On the contrary, the numbers are quite in line with expectations.


If you look at the numbers applying for Phase 2CS and the number of people who will be left without a school after failing the ballot (before MOE post them), it’s well within the norms. The number of places left is also more than sufficient to cater to them.

What is unique about this year is probably the number of people all wanting to go for the same schools as well as the number of people who plays it safe by going for < 1km schools.

Fun fact:

1. There were still withdrawals from earlier phases in 2Cs.
2. Total Applicants in 2Cs were more than Excess in 2C + withdrawals during 2Cs.

Based on ur point about people going for <1km schools I thought it is only right or the way to go considering it will attain them priority. Plus its with MOE hopes that for the child well being they dont have to wake up too early to travel to school. So its not exactly about playing safe but the cluster of up and rising new neighbourhood and/or BTO. Feel the pinch here for Sengkang/Punggol area.

Frankly, it’s a lot of people assumption that MOE doesn’t want the kid to wake up too early to travel to school. AFAIK MOE isn’t really bothered, and frankly, so are most people. If distance is so important, it would have been used as the main determinant in prioritizing phases. It’s no secret that most Phase 2A and even 2B applicants (if they get the chance) do not live within 2km of the school.

As for SK / PG, it’s an issue of having high density housing popping up at the same time. Nonetheless, it should be noted that for most people in SK / PG, they would have at least two, if not more, schools within 1km. Given that most schools are nearly identical (MTS and NCPS being the other two notable exceptions), there’s really no need to die die aim for any particular school.

A lot of new SC.
