Wonder why this year's takeup rate for RGPS is so low? :?

Trust me, you will see all the parents register on the last day and balloting will be conducted for those more than 2km. This happens every year for RGPS. Reason being there are mostly landed houses within 2km and beyond 2km simply means open to everyone in Singapore.

Hi everyone, I have applied for PV for NanYang and Henry Park. Does anyone has any experience as to how challenging is it to be selected as PV for these 2 schools? Thanks a lot!

Super super duper challenging. These 2 schools set a very low limit for their PV intake so as to give PVs a better chance during 2B registration. I would advise u to submit a few more applications to other schools.

For kids born 2005, parents must start registering to be PV now right?

I am lucky this year as my girl qualify for phase 2A2 but for my boy, gotta start working on it now.

Gosh, this phase 2C is a long drawn affair if balloting is needed. Hoping not to have to go thru it during my boy's time.

MGS balloting for < 1km


Vacancies : 37
Applicant :
<1km>2km : 5

Think ur message was trancated. Anyway MGS stats (updated 30th July 11am) are:

Vacancies = 37
Within 1 km = 40
1-2 km = 6
Out of 2 km = 5

So looks like there will be balloting within 1km this year...

So that means the parents of 1-2 km = 6 and Out of 2 km = 5 will most likely withdraw from MGS and go for RGPS.

Likewise for those parents who register their daughter at NYPS if the same thing happens there.

And HPPS too... They already got 44 applicants within 1km for 43 places as of yesterday...

Anybody having the latest applicant statisic ( ie. breakdown <1km>2km ) for Pei Hwa ?

Appreciate if you could kindly post here, as can’t manage to call through their office number to ask for the details.
Thanks in advance.
