I mean to ask whether technically it is allowed to do so. But what if ppl all wait till last min? then the statistics might not be reliable
RRMummy:
Yes, that is possible and some do it for various reasons.engp9337:
do you mean that ppl can register for say, school A at first day, and withdraw later say at day 2 to register for another, say school B?
It may be due to the fact that they have no chance to ballot since staying >2km or they see another school with relatively no/less risk balloting etc etc... -

It is allowed.
All the last minute still need to take into consideration the logistics and time required to withdraw from previous school and subsequently register in the new school.
Statistics provided by MOE is updated past the closing time of that day so it would be accurate as of closing time. So sometimes it may appear that if you track back, there may be some change in the # for previous Phases or between the different days in the same Phase.
Most huge changes normally occur if the responsible school calls up to parents to deregister and try else where since they confirm no chance in balloting and would end up wasting their Phase 2C chance. -

Do you already have your plan B and C?[/quote]FPS was supposed to be my Plan B but based on the number of applicants there might be no available slots for Phase 2C supplementary even for < 1 km. Then the new plan B is Corporation and Plan C is Pioneer. or What if I withdraw application from West Grove and go instead to FPS since both of them are < 1 km from my home and just hope that there will be less applicants for < 1 km and only balloting for applicants > 1 km? :nailbite: -

Yes, it looks like FPS is not an option for Phase 2Csupp.

It is a sound idea. Why not call up FPS to see how many are within 1km? It would be possible that you might escape without having to ballot.

Since FPS registration is done at WGPS, what number should i call to check how many are within 1km.

XNPS vs CPS? Any comments?

wow, i missed coming in and there are so many posts already! thanks for all the updates!
yes, it was very unexpected for me that Frontier has so many registrations. i had thought it was really safe and that there definitely won’t be any balloting.
right now, Dh is thinking we’d still go for it but we’ll monitor the breakdown tonight first. we need to know how many are within 1km. as far as possible, we’ll try to avoid a ballot.
after reading all the posts, i feel that besides the other schools cutting classes to prepare for single session, it must also be that there are many young families in this particular region.
for example, for us, the nearest school is JWPS but it is always so full too. we don’t have a choice, do we? now that the new school is even nearer than JWPS, of course we’ll go for it, even though it is new and without track record. distance is impt for many factors… that would be another discussion…
sigh, if the breakdown shows a high number within 1km, then that means there is a great demand here, so hopefully with Frontier and the other new school at St71, the future situation would be better. -

hi, i called ytd. Just call WGPS and ask for Frontier's stats. They will refer the right figures to you.
fyi, the queue no.s they issue are combined for both WGPS and Frontier. that's why it will reach over 300 ytd. Although different queues but the queue no is the same set.
So queue no at WGPS and FPS are not = registration no.s.
Most other schools queue no. = registration no.s cos they only do it for their own school.
I clarified that ytd. hth

agree with champs. must see what is more suitable for your child. hard to compare schools without more info.
you can check their school websites for a rough idea although i think CPS' website is not really up to date (rt champs?)
