MOE site says only 29 registered today so no truth to the balloting rumour.

That's why it's always good to wait for official results, rather than rely on hearsay.

Absolutely. :hugs: Every year so many rumours go around regarding P1 registration. Rumours which can be easily disputed by reading the MOE website. Practically everything you need to know is on the site. But still people choose to believe hearsay rather than hear from the horses' mouth, so to speak.

Can someone advise what is my chance to enroll into Xinmin if I live within 1 km?

If it’s not successful, then what will happen?

And why is Xinmin so popular?

hi everyone,


I recently moved to Hougang and found out that Holy Innocents and Montfort Junior are within 1 km from from my place. I cant consider Montfort as I have DS and DD … what is the chance of Holy Innocents having to ballot with 1km under phase 2C this year? Do I need to be a catholic to eligible for phase 2C? so stressful now! Thanks!

sorry, double posts :scared:

If you are within 1km, HIPS is historically ballot within 1km. On the bright side, you get a chance to join the balloting process. Montfort historically still has alot of seats left so no hurry. But note that this year they have a reduction of 30 places. Or rather, quite a no. of schools in Hougang area has a reduction of 30 places eg. HIPS, Montfort,etc... so I am unsure if this will have spillover effect. You might want to monitor the situation.

Personally based on historical trend, I think I would \"try my luck\" at HIPS since I am within 1km. Worst scenario is to put my child in montfort if he can't get in via ballot at HIPS. Meanwhile for dd, there is CHIJ (OLN). Are you within 1-2km??? We might be staying near as I am within 1km to montfort, HIPS and CHIJ.

Good luck.

Updates on 2B registration as of now… 51 registered with 56 vacancies… so if nobody register tomorrow, all will be successful

[Ririan]

dear MMM,

thank you so much for your reply
I stay around Hougang Ave 2... how about yourself?

If there are less applications than vacancies, does that mean the 'extra' vacancies will go to phase 2C?
