I am not looking for a high-PSLE scorer school. More interested in a balanced learning opportunity for my kid. Besides, being PRs living beyond 2 km of most well-known schools, we have limited choice. Zhonghua is one school which hasnt ballotted so far.

Zhonghua seems to fit then. Not that you have much choice anyway unfortunately, unless you prefer a single-gender school nearby that doesn’t ballot for PRs.

Does anybody have numbers for Phase 2B for SJI Junior? It seems there are 56 vacancies; but how does one know whether the number of applicants exceed this? ':D

You wait for MOE to update tonight.
There’s no live update like the stock market.

The other alternative is call up the school. Some schools will reveal, some wont. Depends on the admin staff. However, today probably isn't a good reflection of the numbers though.

Admin staff will have to log in, retrieve and tabulate the numbers. No longer so straight forward as they don't have much visibility also.

Numbers for today updated.

Some school number seem too low, not really reflective of the usual number. Overall applicant number for day 1 is close to 300 less than last year. Could be partially due to more take-up up to 2A2 and reduce the overall number of 2B.


Anyway potentially can add 600-700+ for day 2.

Hi parents, I’m a total noob and oblivious to this whole P1 registration thing till a week ago when I found out there is only 1 school within 1km of where we stay (RGPS), and another school within 1-2km (NYPS). I have twin girls born 2018, and a son born 2020. I think there is still a chance the twin girls can get into RGPS based on <1km, but I’ve been told by several people that there is just zilch chance of getting into NYPS, I shouldn’t even try. So I’m freaking out (I hope prematurely) because what about my son? He has no co-ed school to go to near us. I was told by friends and relatives that I don’t even have to try being a PV or active community leader because we are not <1km from NYPS. People keep saying we have to move somewhere else. This really upsets us. We have had the same address for almost 30 years. We love where we stay. It is so upsetting to think that we have to uproot our family just for our son to have a chance to get into a primary school.

Any parents out there who managed to get their kids into NYPS through phase 2b or 2c route, while staying >1km away? Do I have a fighting chance if I join their PV or be a GRL? Because I am willing to try anything. I’m not even trying to get my son into an elite school, it’s just that by virtue of our address we only have this single elite school to send our son to!

Q: Any parents out there who managed to get their kids into NYPS through phase 2b or 2c route, while staying >1km away?
A: No.

Q: Do I have a fighting chance if I join their PV or be a GRL?
A: No (that's Phase 2B by the way).

Because I am willing to try anything. I'm not even trying to get my son into an elite school...
> Ok then, look for another school. Bukit Timah Primary School isn't that far away, and it would have been most parents' 'backup' school for NYPS anyway.

If the no. of applicants for this year is similar to last year's, these are the (44) schools most at risk of balloting in Phase 2B. Lexy had mentioned some of them https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=91589&start=520#p2031406.
...

Of the 44 schools that I have listed as most-at-risk of balloting,
After day 1 of Phase 2B:
- 21 of the above schools have applications matching or exceeding the number of places available, i.e. 21 schools are potentially heading into the ballot.
- 5 schools have less than 5 places left. I expect these 5 to join the group above.
- 7 schools have between 6 and 10 places left. Some ‘choice’ schools here, unlikely application numbers will stay where they are.
- 11 schools have more than 10 places left. In addition, 2 other schools, Anderson and Mee Toh aren’t that far away from this group in terms of places remaining.

Unfortunately, for those who are aiming for the schools above, including the 11+2 schools with more than 10 seats, you aren't safe yet. As Lexy says above, there could be potentially many more people who could be lurking and applying on day 2.
