Thanks. Don't really know how to read the table on MOE


It only reflect as 51 places in phase 2B but doesn't tell you how many places were offered in that phase so can't tell if the applicants were more than available places.

Btw, I’m looking at registering my son for SSS in next year’s registration. Very KS I know but would like to assess my chances.

We are Catholics so can get into Phase 2B. However we live in Pasir Ris so definitely more than 2Km. The only way to up our chances would be to use my parent’s in law address in bedok since they are within 1-2km. I read that we can make a statutory declaration that my in-law are my son’s main caregiver but can anyone advice how the procedure is like? Thanks!

There were 61 vacancies. 52 registered, so demand is lesser than supply, all 52 children gets a place.

Hi,


Need your advice pls. Going for Phase 2C supplementary on 15 Aug how? Bedok Green or East Coast. So many disappointed parents around - those who didn’t managed to get into Red Swastika, Yu Neng and Fengshan. The next school is Bedok Green however only 39 vacancies, most probably need to ballot - very traumatising. If can’t go in, MOE just post the child to any school, will it be worse?

Surprised that East Coast - not many takers and still alot of vacancies, do not understand why? Anyone care to share?

Hi,


Just to share, balloting at Yu Neng after Phase 2C is unsuccessful. The next two schools to consider is Bedok Green and East Coast. How should we parents go about choosing between the two schools?

For Bedok Green, the vacancies left - 39. Just imagine, based on the latest results (Phase 2C), we will have 26 disappointed parents from Red Swastika, 26 disappointed parents from Yu Neng, 5 disappointed parents from Fengshan. The total no. is 57 and the list goes on. Temasek will have some diappointed parents as well.

So what is the next step? Parents will sure zoom in to the next best - Bedok Green. Can’t imagine, sure have to ballot again for Phase 2C supplementary. Should we try our luck there and there will be alot of Prayers to God again after the 2nd balloting. Luckily, most parents have strong heart for who knows, one may collapse if his/her child didn’t managed to get in to the 2nd preferred school after balloting.

Or should Parents choose East Coast, which is safer with lots of vacancies. There are even East Coast brochures at Fengshan Pri., promoting the school. Looking at the big picture, it is still our child who will succeed in the school if we nurture our kids well.

If our child tops the school with excellent PSLE results which is comparable to SAP schools, that school will become popular, don’t you think so? Like Rulang?
