All About Primary Schools' Balloting History

2gals:

I have a question regarding balloting. If I register under Phase 2B and did not get it thru balloting, can I register under Phase 2C?

You can register - in fact, I heard it is automatic - but may not even get the chance to ballot if the number of students staying nearer to the school than yourself is already larger than the available places.

Guess if you are going for the same school, then, it could be automatic. Better clarify with the school.

We have last year's... but did not publish because we thought that parents should be able to infer it from the <100% take-up rate of schools from Phase 2C.

Sure? But the official source from MOE says SJI's Phase 2B balloting are for those outside of 2km. See http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/system/files/2007+MOE+P1+Phase+2B+Balloting+Info.pdf.

Same discovery too. The 2007 stats on pri 1 registration which I’d obtained from the school i’m trying for differs from that of the info from MOE. According to MOE, under Phase 2B for ACSJ - there was balloting for those above 2km but the school informed me that balloting was only conducted for those from 1km - 2km.

can someone pls explain to me? Eg, Nanyang Primary is not in the balloting list, does that mean that all applicants are accepted including those outside 2km?

No, it means that the school only accepted registrants who live within 1km.

If you refer to last year's balloting info at -http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/system/files/2007+MOE+P1+Phase+2C+Balloting+Info.pdf

It is mentioned in the document under point 3 that Nanyang only have spaces for children who have registered in the school and are living within 1km of the school. All children living outside of 1km are unsuccessful in their registration.
