All under SHHK are very popular. Read the tread on the Clan of SHHK and you will know why. Lots of them trying to get in by clan as well as the PV.

For Phase 1 and Phase 2, there's no quota, so in theory, the only limit is the number of vacancies. For example last year for CHS, at the end of phase2, there were only 18 vacancies left for P2B and P2C. So each phase had 9 vacancies.

:yikes: so few vacancies left.. for P2B and P2C :faint:

but if say P2B nt many seats taken, at least the remaining will be pushed forward to P2C


say 50 to 2B & 2C each...

then only 20 taken up in 2B, so 30 seats will be pushed to 2C... so 2C will hv 80

izit calculated this way?

yes u r right

Theoretically u r right...
Logically u r wrong...
cos' if not much applicants in P2B... means not popular/no demand... then there'll be lesser applicants in P2C

:yikes: Does that mean to say also tat, there is no limitations as to how many applicants apply for one particular school? Like a sch could haf 90% seats taken up?

That is correct.

Grossly unfair isn't it, but I had commented in a different thread on this and basically got brushed off.

Phase 1 is for siblings - I think it is fair to say parents wants kids in same school for convenience of picking up, etc. No reason why there should be a limit to this.

Phase 2A is for school advisory board member, staff and alumni - These group is seen to have contributed to the school, thus the priority accorded. It will mainly affect the \"older\" schools who have huge following of alumni.

Singapore has more than enough schools to cater to all school going kids. It is just which school that the parents want for their kids. If you insist in going after the very popular schools, then of course the competition is keen and you need to put in the effort to work out your plan and strategy.

Sometimes, popular schools may not be the best / suit the kids. I've seen so many cases whereby friends regretted their decision to place kids in those schools.
