Shouldn't the school be calling those 1-2 km to withdraw? I find that PH info is not as forthcoming compared to other schs. I was able to get the latest stats from many other schs but not PH. They were telling me to call back after 4.30pm, which defeats the purpose of finalising the sch isn't it? I mean, these 3 parents could have applied elsewhere successfully w/o ballot, like St Anthony's or PEPS which are very decent schools.

Believe they did call. Look at some other schools, the info isn't correct too. PH is not the only one.

When I called PH yesterday, all the info I could get from them was that there were 31 applicants (which was up to 12 pm). I think the last 8 parents who registered took many by surprise, and they probably thought since it was 31, they have a good chance so the rush to apply at the eleventh hour. From 88% chance of getting in, it is now 69%, all in a matter of 2 hours. There is no way to apply to schools (like PEPS or St Anthony’s now under 2C right? Has anyone tried before?

Nanyang only 28 applicants vying for 25 places within 1 km. How come PH so high? Too many new condos in the area?

2 years ago 68 applicants within 1km. Last year was 57. Do you consider 39 as high now?

Again, for NY, it was around 50 for last year. I guess the decrease partly due to the increased housing cost.

To get a HDB in Toh Yi, one must be prepared to pay ard $600k! Even if one has the money, there is no selection at all. Reason being there are less than 5 units on sale for 4/5-rm. Keke. . all of us waiting for the MRT to be ready!

This may be good news for those registering in the next few years.
