2011 P1 Registration Exercise for 2012 In-Take

If you have a secured place in CHIJ Katong under 2A, take it. St Nic has balloting for those staying within 1km every year. It's scary to give up your confirmed place for balloting.

In a dilemma because St Nick's supposed to be a better school and of course there is a secondary school affliation. The chance during balloting may be so-many percent but to the individual it is either 0 or 100% :stupid:

I would suggest you register and secure a place in CHIJ Katong under phase 2A first and then observe the situation at St Nicks before deciding whether to give up CHIJ Katong and register in St Nicks under phase 2B.

You mean we can take the phase 2A place and then give up later? Are the number of applicants published during each phase everyday so that we will know what is the risk for balloting?

Yes, as long as within one phase, you are registered in one school only.

Number of applicants is updated daily. However, what should be of interest to you is the number of applicants within a particular distance category because that determines whether you need to go through balloting. For the later piece of information, you can only find out from the school.

Hi qms,


Do you know roughly how long does it take to withdraw from the registration?

qms:

Yes, as long as within one phase, you are registered in one school only.

With this year’s eventful registration, it serves as a benchmark for parents registering next year. If I didn’t remember wrongly, 77 schools went for balloting. That’s a BIG number considering 2004 being the year with lowest birth rate.
