i am looking at 2010 record, base on the record, for nan chiau, the phrase 2B there are balloting, and 2C as well. Let say if I am in phrase 2B and i din manage to let a slot from the ballot, can I still join the phrase 2C, let say I stay within 1km from the school.

For 2010, the P2B balloting is for 1-2km, >2km totally no hope. All in for those stay <1km. If you say you stay within 1km, you should have got a place in P2B, no need to go to P2C. I'm a GRL, stays <1km, no ballot for NCPS P2B in 2010.

Hi all,

do you know if any primary schools in Sengkang are having open house in the near future this year? where can I find that info?
I’m planning to enroll my girl to either Rivervale primary/Compassvale primary coz of the distance <1km, however both will be under phase 2c.
anybody can advise which school is better, and what are my chances of getting in? thanks so much!!!

Hi need your advice , my house will be ready only in 2014 . Check with MOE they say can register with the new house address. But Nan Chiau pri is within 1-2km from my place . Any idea chances of going in as we’re not memeber or PV .Will fall under phrase 2C. If not any school to recommend ? I can look at hougang area also , any advise on Yio Chu Kang pri? Mont fort is also within 1km but seems like not so popular , any kids studying there parents can advise. Never know so headache to register my son to Pri 1 .

For the past few years, Nan Chiau only conducted balloting for those staying within 1 km from the school in P2C. Hence, it's as good as saying you can forget about the school.

Sorry, I don't stay in that area, and hence, unable to comment.

Perhaps you would like to look at the discussions in the Parents Networking section:

In answer to your question, yes, don't need to try Nan Chiau. Have at least 2 schools in your plan, and monitor the situation in Nan Chiau. Not likely to be optimistic at Nan Chiau, though, so, don't place your hopes too high.
