Choosing and Evaluating Primary Schools

[Sasawan]

sorry, sidetrack, normally with such review and expected changes, how long does it take for the changes to be effective?

[phtthp]

If they announce this year make changes, can take place either this year or next year. Prepare for some back up school in mind, if changes were to take effect from this year.

Note :

At MOE's Committee of Supply Debate 2021, it was mentioned that MOE is reviewing the P1 registration framework. The review will not affect this year's 2021 P1 registration exercise.

Details of the 2021 P1 Registration Exercise will be updated in May. Join our mailing list to receive an email alert when registration information updates are available.

Yes, now can only wait for MOE to announce, see which group going to touch, to make way, to give up more seats to the Phase 2C applicants.



If MOE touch phase 2B,
then GRL is the first group impacted, because "zero" relationship with the schools.


On the other hand, if MOE were to touch Phase 2A1 (alumni), to give up some precious seats to 2C applicants, then will see more & more popular, favourite hot schools entering into Phase 2A1 balloting, besides the usual 3 (Henry Park / Catholic High / St Nick). For these 3 schools, they are already used to the balloting process at 2A1, is not new to them.

But other hot, popular schools that haven’t encountered any balloting at 2A1 yet, they will soon experience it, especially those SC staying more than 2 km away from hot schools, if MOE were to touch phase 2A1 (alumni). If you stay within 1 km from very popular school under 2A1, should be safe.

Unlikely that MOE will touch Phase 1 (sibling)

Need advice on matter on planning admission for No.2:


I have Phrase 1 admission for school in punggol but travel time is abt 15-20 mins.

Rosyth is within 1km or 5 mins away.

should i try for rosyth for balloting at 2C or maintain at Phrase 1?

[zac's mum]

15-20 min is not very long.


But if the sibling’s school is still available at 2CS, I think u can ballot for Rosyth at 2C. Fallback at least they can travel to school together.

sibling sch also quite popular, need balloting also. no 2CS options

[zac's mum]

Then stick with Phase 1 ba. Bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush.

There are definitely options for 2CS but probably not what you fancy.

Yio Chu Kang (Hougang, nearest to Rosyth) is definitely an option.
So is Fernvale (Sengkang, not far as the crow flies, but not near by land transport).

Given the terrible odds for Rosyth, as well as having to spilt and make the 5mins / 20mins journey everyday be it Phase 2C or 2CS, it makes most sense to just take the Phase 1 option.

If the kid is extraordinary, in P4 he / she can go to Rosyth also.
