I agree. Let's hope the number remains low for MCS!
I dun think it’s down to wait and see.
Toa Payoh number is quite low. 44 applicants for MCS is already the highest number of applicants in all of TPY for Phase 2CS as of Day 1. -

Please go for Northview Primary School.
Hello fellow parents, will like to seek some advice. My DD was unsuccessful in her phase 2c application even though we are within 1 km. When I received the results, I was super sad 😢.
I stay in yishun and applied Huamin primary (which was my second choice). With her unsuccessful 2c application, there is only 1 school left within 1 km (North View with 25 vacancies).
What should I do? Should I go for North View in phase 2cs or go for the school with a lot of vacancies left (Ahmad Ibrahim with 98 vacancies- but is not within 1 km)?
Appreciate some advice.
The reason why Huamin is oversubscribed is due to the intake of students from MOE kindergarten which started its intake of KN students 2 years ago. In another year’s time, Northview Primary will be oversubscribed in phase 2C. Northview Primary received its first intake of K1 pupils this year. Moreover, there are so many new BTOs in this area.
Northview is a good school and don’t be disappointed if your child cannot get into HuaMin. Northview is another school of choice. If your child is academically-inclined, your child will excel in any school. It is who your child is that matters, not the school. Trust me, go for Northview. You will not regret. All the best! -
Just shedding some light here for those who wants to know the hidden gems.
Greenwood Primary (located near Admiralty MRT) is one gem. There are teachers who send their own children to this school. The school prepares the pupils well for PSLE with teachers who go the extra mile for the students. It is really an under-rated school and I hope to share some of the good things I heard from friends’ children.
Next, Punggol Cove Primary is another under-rated school in Punggol. If you go to the school website, you will be surprised by the effort the Teachers take to upload the spelling list and materials online. That speaks volume. It is a new school but it will be a happy school for your happy child.
As for Ang Mo Kio area, Mayflower Primary is a good choice for those staying in the area. The principal is very experienced and will lead the school well.
Lastly, for those who lives along the Brown TE line, Orange Circle line, Red North-South line, purple Northeast line may want to consider Marymount Convent School, a girls’ school reputable for teaching the pupils good English. Alight at Caldecott station, use Exit 2, turn right and voila, you reach the school by taking a 5 mins shortcut path.
Don’t miss the boat or you will really regret. If your application is unsuccessful in Phase 2C Supplementary, your child will be posted to a school with available vacancy. Did you all read this fine print on the website ?!
Act wisely. Good luck 🍀 -

Proximity to Caldecott Station really needs to be highlighted

Thanks @sembgal! These are very useful tidbits. Today is the last day of choice for Singaporean parents.
Godspeed to everyone involved. -

Adding support for Greenwood. DS leveraged on their support from caring teachers and made it to YTSS and JC and now NUS. Chiong from Neighbourhood school all the way. Conveniently located near Admiralty MRT as well and overlooked due to proximity to Admiralty Pri.

For example, if you look at Tampines there were 291 kids that were unsuccessful in 2C but there are still 315 vacancies (412 vacancies if you include Changkat) across all of the schools in 2CS.
The following schools have high(er) ballot risk for 2CS:
-Tampines Primary = 5 spots
-Angsana Primary = 31 spots
-Junyuan Primary = 35 spots
If you don't want to take ballot risk, East Spring has 55 spots (likely safe based on prior years' 2CS applicants) and three other schools have 89-100 spots (Yumin, Changkat, Tampines North).
Or, if you ballot for one of the prior three listed (5-35 spots available) and are unsuccessful again, it seems like you will just be allocated to one of East Spring, Yumin, Changkat, or Tampines North? If so, then not much risk in 2CS.
I guess the caveat to this is whether there are some people that were unsuccessful in Parir Ris and/or Bedok that find some of the Tampines schools as their 2CS choice (likely due to logistics).mikey.p\" post_id=\"2078540\" time=\"1660571185\" user_id=\"199068:
2CS Numbers are updated again.SG_KP1\" post_id=\"2078607\" time=\"1660625874\" user_id=\"188234:[quote=SG_KP1 post_id=2078607 time=1660625874 user_id=188234]Good luck! I would just stay in for Angsana and hope you get it.
There's really not much else to do. Per above, Angsana, Junyuan, and Tampines Primary will ballot based on the 2CS Day 1 applicants. So the choice is ballot for Angsana and if unsuccessful probably get assigned to Tampines North. Or withdraw from Angsana and go for Tampines North in 2CS. Seems to be not much risk...
Do note, there were 291 unsuccessful kids across St Hilda's, Poi Ching, Chongzheng, and Gongshang in 2C. As of yesterday, only 173 kids had registered at the Tampines schools with 2CS vacancy. I think it is possible that the Angsana and Junyuan applicants could go up, as these two schools are probably the closest option for the St. Hilda's and Poi Ching 2C unsuccessful (196 2C unsuccessful across these two schools). But I guess we'll see at 6 pm on Friday (19 Aug). Good luck again :xedfingers:
Angsana has 66 applicants for 31 spots. Ballot < 1 km, 47% odds.
Junyuan has 70 applicants for 35 spots. Ballot < 1 km, 50% odds.
Tampines Primary has 19 applicants for 5 spots. Ballot < 1 km, 26% odds.
Across these three schools, there are 84 excess applicants, i.e. 84 students will be assigned to a school. Fortunately, East Spring, Tampines North, and Yumin still have a total of 129 spots (Changkat has another 79 spots, although the logistics may not be as easy). Hence, students will likely be assigned to one of these three schools / still relatively nearby. Likely not much risk if you are balloting for one of the three above (probably a closer option for the St Hilda's and Poi Ching 2C unsuccessful). -
With 45 spots available, Bukit Timah Primary will ballot 1-2 km this year. Previously, > 2 km with 47, 59, and 61 spots available. Probably not making a dent in who will try for the other < 1 km ballot schools though.
