2011 P1 Registration Exercise for 2012 In-Take

[Castle House]

ChiefKiasu:

For parents worrying about having to ballot in Phase 2A2, relax. That's not going to happen.


Traditionally, the hotter the school, the more likely is the bulk of the people eligible for Phase 2A2 to be registered on the FIRST day. Popular schools like Nanyang Primary will only have between 10-30% more registrants on the 2nd day, with respect to the entire Phase 2A2.

So if you want to predict the total number of registrants for a particular school, just take the first day's number and multiply by 150%. That will give you the upper bound for that school.

Of course, for the less popular schools with 0 registrants on the 1st day, that single registrant on the 2nd day will be 100% That doesn't count.

So, just relax...

Chief.. indeed comforting to know for sure won't have ballot for P2A2.. just can't help worrying..

Will just monitor tomorrow.. :xedfingers:

I think mostly all parents worrying that there isn't any much vacancies left for Phase 2B and Phase 2C. :nailbite:

Ah, yes, indeed.

looking at the fig in Ai Tong, it may happen one day that parents need to ballot at P2A2...can't imagine if AT reduces the enrolment by 1 class in future....

Gosh! Just checked the vacancies left after 1st day of 2A2 registration...and I'm beginning to panic!!! :nailbite:

I think many parents are playing it safe by registering at Phase 2A and monitoring their chances at 2B and 2C in other schools. We may see an increase in 2A numbers for many schools going ahead, with more parents doing whatever they can to maximize their chances by covering all bases… So while birth rates remain low, it will be even harder getting into the popular schools…

My daughter is eligible for phase 2B to School P which is far to my home (1hr by bus) and phase 2A2 to School Q near to home (10 mins by bus).School P is better to School Q, but I think near to school is most important. Is my decision correct ?

me too... looking at the results... out of 180 vacancies, already 79 registered at P1... that left 101 vacancies... then 0 at P2A(1)... but 9 registered at P2A(2)... so remaining 92 vacancies left for P2B onwards..

still gt later today leh... 12 july..

assuming that no one else registers tmr or rather later today (nw already 1205am), take 92 divided by 2... each 46 vacancies for P2B & P2C...

if at P2B, all vacancies taken up under PV, church/clans/associations...

P2C hw to fight with only 46 vacancies... :scared:

can i ask that no one registered at P2B... so at least there are all 92 vacancies for P2C..

or at least less than half of 46 registered at P2B... so the remaining vacancies will be push forward to P2C...

and i fall under P2C... :gloomy:

For those stuck with Phase 2B or 2C, we have compiled the interim results for the 2011 registration into a single table to help you in making up your mind about the school you are targeting. It can be found here:

1 hour by bus is quite a long daily commute. Multiply this by 2 and it's 2 hours each day for your young dd. It can be tiring and she may not have the energy to do her homework etc. Remember as she gets older she'll have CCA and other classes so she may get home in the late afternoon leaving her with even less time to rest.

Is School P that much better than School Q? If not that significant, then go with the one nearer home.

Any remaining spaces leftover from Phase 2B will go into Phase 2C.
