Hi, is it right that Beacon will have balloting for <1km? I couldn't find any information for this on MOE website. Appreciate it if anyone can share. Thanks in advance!

Bluepanda, that's right, it is balloting for <1km this year. MOE website not updated for Phase 2C balloting yet.

I think the others are in the 1-2 km range, just the new BTO at Segar and the EC there will be the ones to watch in the < 1 km...

All the best to everyone balloting this Friday! I am crossing fingers for my daughter! :xedfingers: :xedfingers:


Not a good start for her primary school registration.

Registered for Beacon Pri, was told to withdraw on Thursday nite cos I am in 1-2km, no chance to ballot. :nailbite:

Greenridge Pri - within 1km, but also must ballot (1 to 31 chance)

CHIJ QLOP - more than 2km, ballot (1 to 17 chance)

I chose CHIJ in the end. Did not expect Pri School registration for neighbourhood schools to be such a stressful events :stompfeet: :stompfeet: :stompfeet:

Anyway, did what I could. Would suggest for the parents registering for next year or year after to do PV - At least that's a chance to choose school.
