what happens is not successfull at 2b for whatever reason, is it possible to register for the same school for 2c?

yes, but face the same balloting issue, and better be within 1 km

Thanks for the update, tankee!

I have been reading this thread daily to see if there's a need for me to waste $1K for nyps alumni. Looking at the statistics, I think 2A2 is very safe :lol: But if it's CHS, better apply man!

which of the Bukit Timah school do you think is safe to register if you are 2B within 2km?


i think NPYS is definitely out!

have just checked with the school


Phase 2B - 44 vacancies
Phase 2C - 43 vacancies

good luck to all registering at PHPPS

isn't this better than last year (and no ballot somemore at 2b) where the total places were less than 80?

VooVoo:

If they are not within 1km at phase 2b, no point try at phase 2c, no chance to ballot at all.

this number looks worse than last year(s) which means balloting is v likely at 2b, and if outside 2km then i think the chance is slim?

Thanks.. Seems like henry park is backup sch..

Not bad as a backup sch. GEP schs are normally other people's first choice.

It's like saying if I can't buy bentley, then mercedes is my backup car

Haven got approval from dh yet… Lolz…

For Pei Hwa, there are 44 vacancies. Assuming there are 20 PVs, there will be 24 left, but don't forget Christians/grassroots.
For 2006/2008, there was balloting for those living out of 2km.

In any case, all the best for parents registering under Phase 2B.

ya, not necessary to join alumni just to get into 2A1. 2A2 is safe enough.

Be prepared for more flooding with the Circle Line being constructed. Bukit Timah has been known to be a flood zone for long time.

but ever since the canal work was completed many years ago, it has been flood free for so many years until starting from 2009
