Hi lambchop1976,

Meaning in the event of oversubscription, all those within 1km will be given a place first. Only after all within 1 km is allocated, the remaining places will be given to the next distance i.e. 1 - 2km followed by >2km.

Eg. 75 vacancies, 56 staying less 1km, 25 within 1 - 2km, 5 staying more than 2km
All 56 staying less than 1km are in, 25 of those in 1-2km will be balloted to select 19 while the 5 staying more than 2km totally no chance to ballot.

Balloting conducted with 2 slips for each Singaporean and 1 slip for PR. These slips will be placed in a box for drawing. The date and time will be informed. It is not necessary to be present for the balloting exercise..

Good luck! :xedfingers:

Just wondering… what actually goes on during registration?


- Parents Q-ing to collect application forms?
- Or whoever completes form 1st will be attended to?
- Or parents hogging the Q to ask all the Qs? (Am I within 2km? Do I qualify for 2B? Do I need to ballot? etc…)
- Any information displayed on notice boards? (Updated # of applicants)
- Will the sch admin go thru your application details to confirm everything is in order?
- Are u given any letter of confirmation?
- How long does the whole process takes?

Jst had a real-life experience today:
- The admin person came directly to us asking if we are here for P1 application, & gave us a form to fill (we apparently look lost)
- I went around 10, and there were only abt 3 sets of parents there. I took QNo. 31, guess most parents went there earlier on. They go by Q no. so not whoever finishes first.
- The rest of the parents were chatting away with the principal cos they r PV. For us, we r grassroot, & i remembered the principal kept looking at us, i guess wondering who we were....
- There are notice boards to guide us on the process, so no need to ask qns. Its quite straight-forward
- When its our turn (abt 15mins), the admin will chk every single detail on your form against ur IC, BC, letter. They kept my original grassroot letter. Think they even helped to copy our docs cos they did not ask us for an additional set. We were too busy being excited to notice anything else...They did not even ask for the immunisation records....
- After 1 person checked our form, we waited for another team to key our registration into the system. When its our turn (5mins), they gave us back a carbon copy of the form we filled as confirmation.

They also gave a note to indicate balloting date & time, really hope we dun need to ballot....

OMG....maybe they did not need copies of our docs cos we r >2km!!! GOSH, getting paranoid..... :nailbite:

Did my registration today. They insisted on attending to me first although the parent behind me had finished filling up the form.

The whole process quite fast? (10 mins)?? But i actually made a photocopy of all the relevant stuff.

I was just wondering aloud in another thread - if lets say i was slow in filling up the form - lets say tomorrow 415pm - does it mean the school will not attend to the parent behind me cos its not my turn yet?? - just wondering!

Does anyone has an idea if we could secure a seat in one of the earlier phase, and register again in Phase 2C for better school?


In case we get the seat in Phase 2C, can we withdraw from the earlier vacancy that we got?

Thanks.

You have to withdraw first before applying again.
