NB. St Marg 1 SC, the other 25 PR has no time to withdraw and register at another sch due to last min registration by SC.
Not too sure if there are any PR that did not withdraw from the other schools but the number should be negligible.

While I totally understand the strategy parents are taking to monitor and register at the last minute, this also causes tremendous stress to many other parents (like >1km SC and PRs) who aren't able to standby and withdraw in time. That said, my empathy goes out to many of the PRs and >1KM SCs with 30 mins left in closing of last day registration, what can they do but to watch in despair. St Marg year on year seems to have this as a major problem where parents just flock into SMPS last min, many schools this year are also facing this situation such as Qifa (based on what I know) where 1 sad PR has to end up without a seat due to ballot. As I was monitoring Qifa in 2C, there were still seats available to PRs until the very last hr ....

Summary
Marymount 14SC>2km should withdraw and go to other schools to avoid ballot.
Those SC>2km from CHIJ OQLOP should be at the school to monitor their chances. You would be booted out or going for ballot if someone stays within 2km turns up.
Canossa Convent can accomodate another 14SC.
St Gabriel can take in another 4SC.
Many places in Montford Junior, Bukit Timah, Stamford and Balestier Hill.


For SC, be rational and avoid ballot. If you are unlucky you will end up in P3. but you can per MOE website
\"Singapore Citizen (SC) / Singapore Permanent Resident (PR) children who are unsuccessful in obtaining a Primary One place in a school of their choice at the end of Phase 2C Supplementary should approach MOE to facilitate their placement to a school which still has vacancies.\"

Just came back from Marymount Convent. Saw another 5 set of parents applying for P1. Tried talking to the office, but they refused to let us know how many of the applicants are within 2 km… not helpful at all, esp if I know that all 24 places were already taken up by those within 2km, then at least the rest of us won;t waste our chance at other schools…

They should inform parents as much as possible so that changes can be made esp if need ballot. All the best to you!

Are you one of the applicants?

If you are, you should ask to see the principal or vice-principal to exercise your right to be given timely information.

You have to be firm and ask for the necessary info to make an informed decision.

Lodge a complain to MOE if necessary!
