blessed123:
I will be registering my son for 2013 P1 intake, what is the chances like for him to get into Catholic High? I did not do any volunteer work, falls under P 2C, staying within 1km.
Now i think most of us will ask whether u r a SC or PR...
If u r a SC and stay within 1km, u r eligible to ballot under P2C.
But if u r a PR and under P2C, is better to find another school. :?:
Hope it helps..

I think the statistics of past yrs will still be useful because the statistics show trends. The PRs might give way but SCs will move in.

Is there any basis to this 10% figure? Or just your own guesstimate? :skeptical:
new policy has created about 10% more vacancies at Phase 2C, to the advantage of SCs.
10% more translated, what is this number at CHS ?
enough to form a new class of SC pupils ?
From past balloting history, CHS had always required balloting in phase 2B for those living within 1km. Why would the new policy create 10% more vacancies for phase 2C?
The places are still going to be filled up from phase 1 through 2B. The only change for CHS is that instead of balloting for SCs and PRs, it will just be balloting for SCs only. So at most you can say is now there is a better chance of getting balloted in, since there will be no competition coming from PRs. -
My 2 cents thought. During my childhood time, only one phrase. This is the most fair system, why make our education system so confused, everyone rushing to be PV or move hse. I heard abt a case whereby the parent willing to sponsor landscaping work for the school and their boy got into the school easily. Just hope they can come out with better system. One of my frenz staying in Clementi and easily get a school in Geylang around. Just wonder why??

\"PRs also make up about 10 per cent of each primary school's cohort, ST said, and these places in popular schools are now expected to be taken up by Singaporeans. \"

SINGAPORE -
The changes in Primary One (P1) registration policy announced on Sunday will likely mean that more places in popular schools will go to Singaporeans.
Under the new policy which kicks in this July, citizens will be given 'absolute priority' over Permanent Residents (PRs) when balloting is involved during the registration process, even before the home-to-school distance is considered.
Apart from that, PRs will remain eligible for the same phases of the P1 registration exercise as locals.
According to figures reported by The Straits Times (ST), 87 out of a total of 179 primary schools held balloting exercises last year for their P1 registration exercise.
PRs also make up about 10 per cent of each primary school's cohort, ST said, and these places in popular schools are now expected to be taken up by Singaporeans.
Mr Tan Chun Ming, principal of Nan Chiau Primary, expects to see more Singaporeans enrolled in his school with the changes. \"We must meet Singaporeans' needs, and the policy puts Singaporeans' needs first,\" he was quoted as saying.
Nan Chiau is among a group of schools which face overwhelming demand during the P1 registration process. The other schools which were more than 2 Ā½ times subscribed in their Phase 2C registrations last year were South View, Nan Hua, Rosyth and Northland.

They should ban those parents occupying 2 slot.
Parents put their in their old school and still apply phase 2B or 2C to try their luck at the better school.
The MOE should disqualify immediately at both school for hogging two places and make them register again in phase 3.
Zoe Tay is a good example. Her son secure a place in henry park and yet she is eligible to ballot for a place at this nanyang primary. What is this?
Pls correct me if i am wrong. -
Zoe Tay only occupy ONE slot, not two.
She enrolled her son under phase 2A in SJIJ (husband Mr Philip Chionh is alumni), not Henry Park. Newspaper journalists reported wrongly. Her son is now studying in SJIJ.
under 2B although she clocked > 80 PV hrs at Nanyang, but because she stayed > 2km, she was not given any chance to ballot. So her eldest son stay put at SJIJ, Primary 1. Her second son is entering soon, P1 2014.
had Zoe Tay shifted nearer to Nanyang < 1km, she would have got in readily. -

The 10% include or exclude PRs who enrolled from phase 1 through phase 2A2, where no balloting is required?PRs also make up about 10 per cent of each primary school's cohort, ST said, and these places in popular schools are now expected to be taken up by Singaporeans.
If it's inclusive, then it's just wrong to say that 10% of the places will be freed up.
Since no balloting is required, PRs who apply during those phases are STILL going to get a place. -
How do MOE declare as priority to SC? Both parents SC or just one will do? There are millions of PR. If one of the parents will do, than it is still back to normal. We still have to fight with the PRs, as they are not pure SC.

Citizenship relates to the child, not the parents.
