ICIC. So since I am not a parent volunteer or fall under 2B, I’d still be within Phase 2C, and only if there is balloting required, priority will be given to those living 1km, then 2km?

If there is no balloting, distance doesn't matter.
But when balloting is needed, all registrations for that particular phase will be grouped into 3 priorities :

1st Priority : Within 1km group
2nd Priority : Between 1-2km group
Lastly : More than 2km group

Let's say there are 65 vacancies this year, if there are 65 or lesser registrations for within 1km group, all will get a place.

Remaining vacancies will go to 1-2km group for ballot, or given to each if registrations do not exceed the remaining vacancies. Unless no vacancy left.

More than 2km group will go through same process as 1-2km.

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!

That being said that u are not hokkein. pls be aware abt SK's constituency zoning. Half of SK belong to Pasir Ris-punggol GRC, half under AMK. NCPS happen to be under AMK, so make sure in are in the correct zone b4 u volunteer.

another point to note... when there is General Elections, the GRC may change as they MAY 'redraw the boundary lines'...

Yes, confirm not stated! But why isn't it mentioned? Looks like I have missed my registration...So would the 1km given priority over the 2km in Phase 2C?


Sorry, it was mentioned in the footnotes on this page,but i didn't see it in the brochure

That's what I'm trying to say!
It is not stated because distance doesn't determine the phase you qualify for. Phases are determined by your \"relationship\" with the school. Eg. phase 1 if you are registering your younger child while your older child is studying there.

Distance only plays a part when balloting is necessary.

Thanks for your all of your kind explanation! KSP as helpful as ever! :celebrate:

Yes, I knew that cos during the last elections, my place is under Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC while my parents place just one bus-stop away is under AMK GRC.

Hahaha... I hope they absorb the rest of Sengkang currently under AMK GRC under Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC so that NCPS is under the GRC where I am residing...

What I heard is that in the next GE, which is coming soon, only 2 scenarios: SK will be a SMC or status quo (part of AMK GRC). I hope status quo, GRL has more benefits in a GRC (more schools etc) than a tiny SMC.
