Haig Girls’ is very likely to ballot too. They have only 17 places available for phase 2cs

Belle:

Oh no, balloting again. I hope you are staying within 1 km.

You are registering for your boy? If its for your daughter, you could actually try Haig girls. It's my second choice school. I found academic wise, its ranking is not too bad in fact better than Ngee Ann and CHIJ Katong but not sure why the other 2 schools more popular.

Anyway, best of luck to you. :lol:

Thanks Belle,
I am registering for my DS, therefore our options for school within 1km are only 3 instead of 5

Distance wise, we are less than 300m from TNS and just a few meters under 1km for both NAPS & TKPS, so we went ahead with balloting for 2C at TNS.

However, luck is not with us so far.

Let see how this stage turns out.

Called up TKPS, gotten the confirmation that all applicants within 1km will be accepted.

Cheers for caveman! At least now u can relax as well.


Best of luck for others who will still undergo balloting. Try to bring/wear any items that you feel or believe will bring you luck. Coz i did it on the day of balloting under p2c. And it worked for us!

Think positive and pray, but nevertheless prepare a backup plan

Every year the cut off is different as it depends on the number of applicants, the contribution and years of membership of these applicants and the number of places that the schools and the clan agreed to give.


Some says distance to school may be a factor too. As the clan may not give out to those staying too fast as they simply do not stand any chance and will deny other member that chance.

Hi tankee,
so do you think it is worth it to join the clan for Tao Nan. I do not stay that near to it and have no old boy old girl status, what are the chances if I do not do any parent volunteering?

I am not tankee...

But, based on this year's statistics, regardless whether you are in P2B or P2C, balloting was only for those staying less than 1 km from the school.

So, if you stay more than 1 km away from the school, your chance in getting a place in the school is as good as zero.

Oh my goodness!! That bad?..Sigh, Double sigh, do you know of any other good schools in that area, I heard that Ngee Ann Primary is not too bad too.

So for most parents who send their kids to Tao Nan, they either do lots of parent volunteering or they move to be within 1 km of Tao Nan? Tks qms for your help!
