Does waiting list & pleading with principal helps as I tot the no.s of in take a year is fixed by MOE and the system is also auto generated hence once all places taken up...there should be no more places left. :?

There is no guarantee, but there's always a chance that some students will drop out. So it's essential to get your child on that waiting list.

Neither is the school obligated to take in children on the waiting list on a first-come-first-served basis. So having a good PV record certainly helps.

Then there's also the \"relationship\" thing. When my twin nephews failed to get into their desired schools in any of the phases, they were eventually assigned to neighbourhood school. After putting them onto a popular school's waiting list, my sister got an ex-principal (who is a personal friend of my parents') of another popular school to write a recommendation letter. The twins were then given places in the popular school.

Obviously I am not going to reveal any details....

I agree that this 'relationship' thing might work.....Have heard of a few but cant say much!

Hi, can anyone help? I hear that there are gd chances of getting into RGPS even if one is outside 2km ( balloting ) I have to register this year and I am so stressed...

Hi Little_Princess, based on last 2 years data, it is correct that say that you will stand a chance to ballot for RGPS.

But as for the chance being high well... not quite that high.. Y2008 the APP was 186% while Y2007 was 192%...

top 10 \"coolest\" school based on % Vacancy Balanced to-date (likely options for phase 2C supplement)


1. Horizon Primary School ............... 100%
2. Guangyang Primary School .......... 88.7%
3. Bedok West Primary School ......... 87.8%
4. Montfort Junior School ................. 87.1%
5. Blangah Rise Primary School ....... 85.7%
6. Griffiths Primary School ............... 85.6%
7. Canossa Convent Primary School .. 85.0%
8. Farrer Park Primary School ........... 84.4%
9. MacPherson Primary School .......... 83.9%
10. East Coast Primary School ........... 83.8%

Note - Horizon Primary School is NEW, thus naturally no registration in phase 1 & 2A

I am confused whether to register my daughter to CHIJ (OLPS) or to Cedar Girls. If its CHIJ (OLPS) seat is confirmed under phase 2 A. However for Cedar Primary have to wait till 2C and unsure if she will get it. The school updated that there has been no balloting in the last few years and she will get the seat in 2C.


What do you’ll suggest…which would be a better option…CHIJ (OLPS) or Cedar Primary.

Actually me like CHIJ-TP & Rosyth but live near Serangoon and hence she may not qualify for CHIJ TP under 2A. For Rosyth under 2C it is sure balloting and hence not taking the risk. Any suggestions?

Thanks for all the great work done by Big Devil, blmg, tankee, and of course our Class Monitor luanee. In light of my blurness (yes, getting old oredi), I will have to defer to you guys for keeping track of the fluid situation


We have just updated the Ballot History Tables with charts that show the rate of growth of TUR across the Phases, averaged over the years. You can really see the difference between the really hot schools and the normal ones. A key characteristic is that popular schools with a longer history usually have a convex line (with lots of places filled up by Phase 2A), or a very sharp concave line with huge demand coming in Phase 2C. Normal schools tend to have a concave line that do not extend to 100% by Phase 2C.

To use the chart for this exercise, compare the current Phase's TUR with the Average TUR in the chart. If it is below, you can relax a bit, but remember that the current exercise's eventual statistics will not differ far from the historical data - ie. it will follow the same shape as the historical chart.

Thanks \"RRMummy\" :lol: You are so well informed! Do you think I should just forget abt Princess E ( 1-2km ) then? I am looking at CHIJ Bkt Timah as well but I am outside 2km? Any advise?

Any advise?[/quote]Every year, there would be a surge of Phase 2C applicants for RGPS on the last day when parent realise this is one of the popular schools which actually allow those staying out of 2km a chance to ballot. But RRMummy is rite, the chances are not high at all, but better than no chance for some schools if u stay out of 2km.
