Look at the bright side, at least there are still 5 seats left for Phase 2A2.

To further explain, there wasn't any vacancy in 2A2 available same time last year as all 2A spots were taken up in 2A1.

St Hilda is a very popular choice, but so are the first three on your list. These schools will ballot for SC < 1km.

Angsana Primary is the only school listed above without the need to ballot.

It's really up the to school to determine if they are willing to reveal the number but do bear in mind the figures are just preliminaries and are likely to move as the Phase progresses.

There’s an affiliated primary:
https://stmargaretspri.moe.edu.sg/

I mean the one near Nanyang Pri School. Cos was thinking they were talking about missing out on Nanyang so means she stay near Nanyang thus the one nearby.

St.Margarets usually has space in 2CS as well, and its not too far from that general area
otherwise catchment schools are usually BTPS and FPPS[/quote]Just saw this, apart from 2016 and 2019, SMPS usually does NOT have any spaces left in 2CS. https://elite.com.sg/228091


I believe 2019's intake was low because in 2020 the school would move to its temporary site in Mattar road and thus many shun it due to it being \"too far\" from its Wilkie road location for those living within 2Km from Wilkie road. Last year at 2C there was a ballot for non SC.

Hi am considering 2 options for my son. Seeking others opinions cos phase 2B is just round the corner. Should I forego PRPS and go for SSS as it has affiliations? Not sure if it’s a wise choice. Any opinions? My options:
1. Pasir Ris Primary School (phase2B) - distance within 1km
2. St stephens school (phase2C) - distance 10km

Having affiliation is great, but having to travel 10km 5x a week for 6 years for affiliation benefit is not so great.

Thanks for advise! We are still thinking about this. Anyone knows how did PRPS did in PSLE 2020?

Ministry of Education has changed its tune now? No more “every school a good school” but they admit and acknowledge that there’s a best fit school for each child?
