Yes you should, if you must have a peace of mind.

Thanks. I know before 2011, there was no ballot for 1km to 2km. But I am not sure about last year as it was the first time they reduce the intake from 300 to 270.

Yes, I am a citizen, so is my DS. Hopefully with the new policy, we have a better chances. But looking at the remaining places for 2B, only 42 left as compared to last year 57, the stress level goes up again. Keeping the fingers crossed. :xedfingers:

I think last year was also no ballot for those within 1-2km. Was actually suggesting a friend to try HIPS last year as fairly good chance under phase 2B.

Maybe there are more babies in 2006??? I was looking at my kids' school and comparing to last year, the seats available for phase 2B and 2C also dropped versus last year.

Indeed stressful for parents.... My bil got accepted into HIPS as PV. They will be using caregiver route for our house address to get into HIPS. We are within 1km but as they are going via caregiver, they will be considered as 1-2km as well. In fact, they were telling us that the principal hesitated to accept them as PV initially as their own place is definitely more than 2km but on learning they are 1-2km, they offered them.
