BigDevil,


After register still can ballot for another school??

Yes, you can PROVIDED you withdraw from the first school.
That is, you can't be registered at 2 different schools at any one time.

Frontier Pri Sch start their intake from 2B so we dont have to wait till end july 2C to register...
I think West Grove chances also very slim unless I'm very lucky!
Which school are you aiming?

Yes thanks for the clarification, I saw it in BigD's post after I posted my questions.

You might wanna register for Frontier first and then see how good/bad the chances are for West Grove in Phase 2C before you withraw from there and ballot... but my guess is.. very very tough...

My DD1 registered last year but it was equally stressful

Good luck! :xedfingers:

oh, how do you interpret this chart? It means for previous years, there is no balloting under phase 2B for JWPS? I was told by a PRC mom who has been doing PV in this school that the chance to get a seat in Phase 2B for those doing PV is less than 50%.

Then she's mis-informed.

Looking at the table (not the chart at the beginning of the page), phases that require balloting are highlighted by a coloured cell - red for within 1km, yellow for within 2, and green for beyond 2km.

For JWPS, the cells are not coloured under phase 2B...meaning all who
registered under phase 2B got a place in the school.

That said, past history is no guarantee of what will transpire in the upcoming registration.

Yes, that is what the historical data shows.. no balloting for 2B

Would like a ask a question regarding the new school - Frontier Primary School:


Can everybody be secured a seat under Phase 2B? If not, then have to go thru balloting under Phase 3C, right?

Even though you get to register at phase 2B, it is still subjected to balloting if there are more registrants than places available.

Should you fail to get a place in 2B at Frontier, than you will have to try your luck at other schools in 2C.

There is no phase 3C.

Oh, does that mean for those who wants to register for Frontier Primary School can go on the dates for Phase 2B (i.e. 18 July & 19 July) and need to be qualify under those requirement stated

I don't think the usual 2B qualifying requirements applies for Frontier leh... I think since they have 240 places they need more time to get everything in kua...
