labourday:

my girl (Spore Citizen) under phase 2C this year for 2013 intake. Shall I go for NYPS or RGPS?

Nanyang is a co-ed school, highly competitive to enter!
based on past years balloting info, you've higher chance for 2C if you choose Raffles Girls.

at end of Phase 1:-
Nanyang (48.2%) seats taken up.
Raffles Girls (33.7%)

Looking at the statistics after 2A1, It highly likely RGPS will go into ballot for 2B even for SC. Just wondering will they break down the SC and PR registration on their chart?

Now, nanyang has 135 vacanies left. Are there any comparison in terms of numbers for last year? Am wondering if there is a possibility of ballot in 2B?

refer Nanyang

i)
2011
phase 1: 199
phase 2A (1): 52
phase 2A (2): 81

phase 2B PVs outside 1 km: no chance to ballot

at end of 2A(1): Total 251 seats taken. (64.3 % gone)

ii)
2012
phase 1: 188
phase 2A (1): 67
phase 2A (2): unknown, at this point (9 July)

at end of 2A(1): Total 255 seats taken. (65.4 % gone)

so far up to end 2A(1): 2012 differ from 2011, by 1 %.
hopefully, this year 2A (2) smaller group of people enrol.

MOE website – doesn’t breakdown into # of SC, # PR.
However on actual phase 2B Registration day (ie. 19 & 20 July 2012), you’ll see a white board hung out visibly within school premises – indicating very clearly whose child is SC / PR. You’ll know how many PRs register (if any).

could you enlighten me in this?


I have 2 schools in mind,Nanyang and BPP.
As i am going via phase 2B, should i register with Nanyang first on day 1 or shall i wait till day 2?

I stay outside 2km of Nanyang primary and i do not want to waste my chance for phase 2B.

for phase 2B:-
on day 2 (ie. Friday, 20 July 2012) normally after lunch around 2.30 pm onwards, the school would have collated Total # of 2B hopeful apply within 1 km, > 1 km. By then, school is more definite, can tell whether those > 1km has any chance.

you can still enrol for Nanyang, on day 1 or day 2 morning, since you'd sweat & clocked > 80 PV hours there.

However, be mentally prepared on standby alert that on day 2 around 2.30 pm onwards after lunch, in case at 11th hour suddenly got more people residing less than 1km, or within 2 km last minute rush down to enrol, the school may contact or sms those > 2km to withdraw.

is best to get your spouse stationed at the other school, Bukit Panjang with all important documents ready. In the event > 2km at Nanyang no chance, quickly withdraw your child from Nanyang first (if you'd enrolled him previously), before enrolling him into BPPS. The MOE computer is centralized controlled. The system check online real-time & permit enrolment into ONE school only. Besides Original documents, please bring extra sets of photostated documents along (just in case needed). In that critical hour, you won't have time to look for a photostating machine in the school to zap.
