What happens if we do not get into 2C of CHS? Do we go and appeal to school of our next choice or await for MOE to assign. SJIJ is just too far and if I am not wrong, P1 is in the afternoon session. Poor boy will be so tired by the time he gets home via school bus. :?:

If you lose the ballot at CHS, you go to Phase 2C Supplementary to get a place at a school with Phase 2C Supp places...and there are not many ok schools with such places near Bishan/AMK/Hougang/Serangoon/Toa Payoh. The ones with places, I think you won't want...

So just take SJIJ today! Quick! You can still move house later.

Thanks, Cherrygal. My sentiments the same but I am also a stubborn Christian! I bought an apt at The Clover by the Park by chance and didn’t know I could actually apply with my Sales & Purchase Agreement. Found out only last yr that i could do so. As such, I kinda believe that God gave me an opportunity to send my boy to CHS. So if I choose to go by faith, I will risk out for phase 2C. Tssk… if I go SJIJ, I feel that I am not believing HIM! Arghh!!!

Aiyoh... you just buy \"insurance\" by securing the SJIJ place first today. Then you can still believe in HIM at Phase 2C if ratio is low. Don't take the risk...He helps those who help themselves!

Looking at the past 5yrs CHS has the least vacacies left for 2B and 2C this year. Even there is no one registered today there are only 12 for each phase. You have to look the chances of getting into the school you want. Do take note 2C is conducted in all schools at the same time. If didn't manage to get into 1st choice, the 2nd choice may also get filled up at the same time. U can't turn back the clock and go for 2C at the 2nd choice later.

Gingerbread Man, believing is one thing and taking risk is another. U should secure a place first so that u won't end up losing both.

Great !

Actually SJIJ is good, cos there is affliation to secondary school, similar to CHS. Worry less in P6.
Not very far from bishan too if you go by marymount road to thomson road, just the jams at the TMC stretch may get quite terrible. I'm sure school bus can settle the logistics issue

I stay right beside CHS and also originally hoped to enrol my boy into CHS in Phase 2C, but from the looks of it, the chances are really slim. So luckily I'm kiasu a bit and enrolled my boy into Pei Chun in Phase 2A1 which I'm an alumni of.

U did very good thing, this way you can also review ur chances while satisfied at one end thinking atleast u oredi enrolled

Yup, secure a place first then think about it. Although i prefer CHS cos of secondary school affliation. But Pei Chun is also a good school! So ok lar...hee hee..
