Funny, bcos the sch checked to make sure we r within 1km last yr b4 registration during 2B. Did it check this yr?

I went last Fri 23 Jul to register for my son under 2B, the staff never ask, just submit doc/fill form and told to wait for outcome on Tue 27 Jul. Separately, can I ask if anyone knows if school (or principal) can choose to give places to certain people at their own will? Meaning, someone accorded more privileges than others. Tks.

Sort of. I woud say different ways of learning, but end point is the same. I play safe since the end point still PSLE....so I go for NCPS. I'm in Phase 2B within 1km, hope my son can get in. Yours next yr? You're already stress out now? For NVPS, we can only tell when their 1st batch sits for PSLE in few yrs time.

Not likely. P1 registration is supposed to be transparent, or there will be chaos. Principals will have the discretion only when it comes to choosing PVs or deciding on the priority criteria for those who put their children in the waitlist after they fail in the balloting.

Called NCPS after lunch, I was told there is no balloting for <1KM applicants.


Confirmed, from MOE website.

*Sigh* So hard for my children to get into Nan Chiau Pri even though my place is within 1km and my mum's place (where my children goes after school) is just across a service road from NCPS. Applied for PV but got rejected

Applied for PV but got rejected. Looks like even if I was accepted and clocked the required no. of hours, will still have to ballot

But if u are in phase 2b, so far from history, under phase 2b, within 1km, no balloting required. U may want to try GRL or SHHK route. But u must ensure u join them early enough.

Yes, I am aware of these additional 'avenues' but SHHK is out for me as I am not Hokkien. The GRL route may still be possible if I start now for my youngest girl but may be difficult for me to commit that kind of time as I am already very tied up with my job... *sigh* Will think about it though... Thanks!

Ummm....you mean phase 2B includes those staying within 1km? It isn't stated in the MOE brochure, I thought that would be in 2C, like those staying within 2km. Can someone please enlighten me? :?

Hi concern2,


You sound like one of those parents who think that you belong to a specific phase because of the distance of your home to the school?

Please read the MOE info carefully:
