Ok, that makes sense since XHPS traditionally has plenty of places available in Phase 2CS.

just want to enquiry something… if im registering my gal for HIPS under phase 2C & if i didnt manage to get a place, can i register at another school on that same day of balloting?? i do understand that i can only register for 1 school at a time & if i register in another school, what phase will i b under?? 2C?? already feeling anxious about the upcoming P1 registering & theres lots of "what if" popping in my head.

You can only register 1 school at one time. If your balloting for a school is not successfully in Phase 2C, you will be consider Phase 2C supplementary with schools that still have open vacancies after Phase 2C completion.

Hi! Really a gan chiong newbie here…


Can someone help me to analyze my DD of getting into PLMGPS?

I am a church member so my DD is eligible under Phase 2B, but I am staying out of 2km of the school.

From the KSparents website, I saw that balloting is required for Phase 2B outside 2km. Anyone knows the statistics? How many people balloting for how many vacancies?

Not sure if I want to place my ‘bet’ here because I can guarantee my DD in SHPS. But my wife prefers PLMGPS cos of the affiliation with PLMGS (secondary).

You can find the P1 registeration statistic in the school website

Base on the balloting history, 2009 & 2010 needs balloting in Phase 2B for >2km.

My turn next!


I am trying to absorb all these but just got a headache instead.

My Husband just went for the catholic high PV meeting, we are staying 1.05km away from the school so under 1-2km, principle says most probably no chance to ballot based on past year records.


We stay in Ang mo kio st 31.

My husband parents stay in Bishan ,>1 km from Kuo chuan Pres, he is old boy as well.

My mom stays in Hougang, >1 km from Holy Innocent.

My question is:
1. Should I PV for Holy innocent and use my mom’s address as caretaker? WHich phase will I fall in?

Yes, you won't even get the chance to participate in the balloting, based on past years' statistics.

You should secure a place for your son in Kuo Chuan during P2A first.

If you are a PV, you fall under P2B. When it comes to balloting, your boy will fall under the 1-2 km category if you go by the caregiver route.

Thank you so much!


So under my mom’s address 1-2kn, will I get the chance to even ballot?
I just check with the school and Holy innocent is no longer accepting PV for 2013 Primary one intake! I thought I was early but not!!!


SHe says it is one year before registration.
2013 = 2012 registration
now is 2011 May - not accepting!!!

For Holy Innocents', if you are in the 1-2 km category, it is unlikely that you will get a chance to ballot. If you look at past years' statistics, there was only one year when balloting was conducted for those in the 1-2 km category. Other than that, balloting was for those staying within 1 km from the school.

Your best bet will be Kuo Chuan. It's a good school, too. Why not you consider this school?

Typically, you must start your PV work one year before registration. Hence, if you are registering in 2012, you should contact the school late last year or early this year for PV application. You must understand that time is needed to shortlist PVs. Hence, if a school were to accept PVs only now, would the school have sufficient time to go through all the applications, without eating into the one-year period parents are given to perform PV work? Some schools accept PV registration two years before registration. Different schools have different systems.

Hi everyone and chief, would like to ask between Poi ching and Holy innocents primary, which one would be a better school in terms of CCA and school achievements? Many thanks in advance!
