Perhaps NTPS would be better where it is situated near Commonwealth MRT? Is Pei Tong near MRT also?

Yes Pei Tong is very near Clementi MRT, maybe walk 5mins. Sheltered walkway.

In that case PTPS should be a better choice.have sheltered walkway don't reqd any form of rain protection equipment & clothing. :wink:

Rulang Pri confirm have balloting at 1Km range at Phase 2C. You may want check on 2nd or 3rd day where the school can advise you how many people had applied. Good luck.

Where can i find a particular's school's past balloting results?

is your kid due for registration this year?
if yes, then have to call up the school to check. if not, referring to past year's balloting results is pretty accurate....that is if you have kept a copy of last year's Straits Times special on P1 registration where they tabulate which schools having balloting for what distance and phase.
if your kid's registration is not this year, you can start tabulating and collecting this year's info....:)
which school are you eyeing?

I was looking at the past years balloting results, but don't seem to be able to understand the colour coding. Need some help here. If I stay within 1-2km of Rosyth School, does it mean that my child will stand a chance if I go in under Phase 2B i.e. PV?

First you look at the annual tables. This is what you should be able to gather:
1. Rosyth had balloting for applicants >2km in Phase 2B of 2006 and 2007. There was no balloting for Phase 2B in 2008.

2. Looking at the APP column for Phase 2 reveals a bit more. The surplus demand for Phase 2B places has steadily decreased in the last 3 years for Rosyth. It went from 120% in 2006, to a very borderline balloting situation (50 for 51 places or 102%) in 2007, to below 100% and no balloting in 2008.

3. More significantly, this drop in APP goes against the fact that 2007 has 1 less class (30 students) than 2006, so the number of vacancies is even less in 2007 than 2006. This is not normal if demand was maintained at the same levels as the previous year. So there was a significant fall in demand for Rosyth in 2007 from 2006 in Phase 2B.

4. The TUR for 2009 up to Phase 2A2 is a hefty -12% from the historical average. What makes this interesting is that this is despite another drop of 30 vacancies from the 2008 in-take. So demand for Rosyth for Phase 1 and Phase 2A has dropped at a very steady pace from 2006 till NOW.

Conclusion: If you are going for Rosyth in Phase 2B this year at ANY distance, you should be quite happy right now. Balloting is unlikely to happen in Phase 2B - at all.

Don't hang me if balloting actually happens due to some strange freak phenomenon :).

How do we know how many kids have registered for 2B before balloting?? :?

Call up and ask the school at the end of each day. They will tell you.

Wow, this analysis is detailed. BTW, it is only the PV and community leaders in Phase 2B. I heard the PV needs to clock 70 hours in 2 years before the registration date.
