If my child couldn't register to Temasek pri school, can I still put her in waiting list? Hopefully before Pri 1 the school can call me up to tell me there is available vacancy or transfer at Pri 2?

Yes, do that as soon as you have failed to secure a place.

There were parents who had the good fortune of being offered a place even before P1 starts.

Thank you BigDevil for your reply! I feel encouraged!

I recall there was 1 year, where the vacancy "increased" during P2C.


Maybe someone pulled out… so… ya… maybe got chance.

Not surprising, especially true if parents heed the usual advice \"register in 2A2 first, monitor, and withdraw if chance is good\".

I can only register under 2C (above 1km) hopefully I’m lucky so that I don’t have to go through it again 3 years later.

[limlim]

> 1km for P2C is very very remote leh… almost no chance… coz <1km probably need to ballot already…


better check out alternatives first… and ya, at the same time, put on waiting list lor…

My back up is st. anthony connossian pri school but that’s further away, Temasek is still the next nearest to my place. The nearest is bedok green but I never consider it as I’ve called in to ask about their psle result twice but nobody come back to me. The next preferred is YuNeng but compared to Temasek, it’s further away so St. Anthony is my backup. I think no need ballot for 2C… I’m so stressed!

Are you still within 1 km for Temasek? If you're not, I will advice you not to waste your time trying in 2C.
