Wow. Did he fail in Phase 2C also? Anyway, good for him that he finally managed to get in.
St Hildas is extremely hard to get in. Few years back, my cousin volunteered for more than 200h only to be ballotted out at phase 2b. Maybe he's very familiar with school mgt or maybe he's clocked the most hours, he was first on the wait list and was successfully converted before P1 started. There were many like him who clocked likewise hours who were not successful in the phase 2b application.
I had a colleague to who was trying for Gongshang, failed and got onto the waiting list, and was called up just before school started. So those, who failed to get in through the normal registration process, just remember to put your name down for consideration at the office. You never know. -
Thanks for all the valuable advices… u guys r right. Need to think of phase 2cs liao

Wait for some gurus to reply but I would think 1-2 km at Chongzheng may not even get to ballot (in 2C)?

2020 and 2021 the school ballot < 1 km with 30-33 spots available. 2019 ballot 1-2 km with 69 spots available.
Unclear how many spots will be taken up in 2B but spots available in 2C probably won't be more than 50 (and could be as low as 40). -

Yes, but I've already accounted for that above. There are going to be minimum 20 seats in 2B and 40 seats in 2C. There may or may not be any leftover seats in 2B that get added on to the 40 seats in 2C (2B has consumed 15-23 seats in the last three years).
But 2c quota has increased right ?
Hence, I'm not sure the situation is really that different from when it ballot < 1 km in 2020-2021 (30-33 seats available).
But see if others have thoughts. -

Chongzheng accepts PV, although we won't know how many they have accepted. My guess would be that at least 10 spots will be taken up by PV and GRL, leaving not more than 50 (40 + whatever balance from 2B) for Phase 2C.

With an expanded 1km radius, and Gongshang (within the same 1km) facing similar constraint as well, I don't think 1-2km will stand a chance. Would be best to aim for alternative or plan for 2Cs if you die-die want to bang wall. -

Chongzheng 2B applicants ranging from 15 to 23 for the last 4 years.
But 2c quota has increased right ?
If we use the lowest which is 15 for 2B, 2C will be left with 45 vacancies. The most recent year with similar vacancies was 2018, and it was balloting within 1km.
So far on record, Chongzheng was a school that required balloting within 1km with the exception of 2016, 2017 and 2019. All 3 years have vacancies of above 64 for the 3 years.
The new rule add some spots to Gongshang, St Hilda and Chongzheng, plus minus 60 in total, but doesn't seem to be able to cover all the applicants within 1km around the area. The new rule better the odds for those within 1km and maybe some lucky ones can go in via 1-2km (more likely Poi Ching).
At the moment, it looks likely Chongzheng will be balloting for those staying within 1km of the school in 2C. -

And my add school within 1km only have Changkat, 1-2km are gongshang, chongzheng, Yumin, tampines , East spring , so I only can try for chongzheng under 2c as 2cs are available in East Spring.
I have no choice not I die die wan to bang wall 🤣
