Final stats of the Phase 2A. Application over 7k, a few hundred lesser than 2021 numbers but failed applicants increased from 300+ to 700+. About 51% of the vacancies are filled so far.

Of the 35 schools that were indicated as balloting potential, 4 schools escaped balloting, ACSP, Fern Green, Pasir Ris, Tao Nan, whilst SCGS and Wellington were not on the original 35. Final oversubscribed schools stood at 33, almost doubled from 2021. For SCs, 4 schools were balloting within 1km, 7 for 1-2km and 16 for >2km as compared to 3, 4 and 5 for the corresponding period.

Wellington Primary has MOE kindergarten linked to it. There are no primary schools in Canberra MRT new HDB estate. The nearest primary schools to Canberra new estate are Wellington Pri and Sembawang Pri. Students can take a direct bus or MRT. Those staying near to the canal side near to Yishun industrial park area will be within 1km to Chongfu School.

Sembawang Primary and Wellington Primary are the hottest primary schools now due to their accessibility. Canberra Pri has always been a hot favourite and balloting is expected. Parents can consider Endeavour Pri or Northoak Pri.

It is surprising to note that there is not a single primary school or secondary school being built in Canberra estate (near to MRT). Perhaps something could be done to resolve the problem as students will not be able to walk to school directly in less than 10 mins. They have to travel for at least 30 mins to reach school by public transport and walking to reach the school.

While it is correct to say that not a school is built within Canberra, it’s not the same as saying that there are no schools within 1km of Canberra, or when the planning area is seen in totality. Taking Canberra MRT as the centre, Ahmad Ibrahim, Chongfu, Sembawang and Yishun are all within 1km. If the 1-2km distance is taken into consideration, there are at least 5 more schools to consider. Perhaps connectivity is an issue in Canberra, in which case, the authorities (or maybe even the MP) should be tasked to look into it.

It’s not that uncommon for some estates to have no schools if schools can be found nearby or at the perimeter of neighboring estates. An example would be Buangkok (Buangkok Square as centre) where the 5 primary schools within 1km are either in Hougang or Sengkang (Anchorvale, Compassvale and Anchorvale). Another example would be Shunfu / Thomson (granted it’s a much smaller estate) where the two schools within 1km are either ATS or CHS :yikes:

Well said ! 👍🏻

Heard and read that 2A1 and 2A2 are merged this year. Distance priority within the phase didn’t seem to have been mentioned.


I am just wondering in time to come, will there be priority preferential treatment ie. for Phase 2A, will admit those within 1km, then 1-2km or ballot if more than 1km?

Exactly, all by distance except for Phase 1, as of now you can still move house if elder child is still in the school, so far never heard of phase 1 need to ballot but with this trend of set aside more and more for 2C, I think it is likely

Phase 1 is guaranteed.

It's all there. From MOE, https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/distance.

Priority admission is given in this order:

So distance priority is not limited to Phase C now?


Even Phase 2A is subjected to distance priority? Are there statistics of school-balloting at Phase 2A based on the distance?
