Thanks for that! Hopefully it's the case. Keeping the fingers crossed. The results this year are all so bizzare!
Congrats! Im still keeping my fingers crossed for round 2 of balloting for me. You are right about the results being so bizzare!
i think the births don't accurately capture the demand
there are lots of new citizens too -

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. -

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.

Worst case will be Meridian with 147slots left. Closest school in Pasir Ris unless MOE screws up.[/quote]Are you balloting for Casuarina? :?:
Sorry to hear that. I remembered you forgo SMPS. Nothing to lose now - try for Casuarina and worse case scenario is MOE assigns you somewhere with available vacancies after 2CS. I would advise you also waitlist for PRP and EPP.Hendon\" post_id=\"1991703\" time=\"1597736722\" user_id=\"142376:
[quote=nitrodrops post_id=1991635 time=1597724776 user_id=181252]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
BTW, SACPS at Bedok isn’t really that far via PIE in the morning. -

I agree that the numbers are quite in line with expectation... And don't blame new SC... There aren't that many of them to flip the scale.

actually yes, if you put sentiment aside and focus on the raw data... It's around the expected amount
