All About Primary Schools' Balloting History

Luanee:

So how does everyone feel about citizens getting 2 ballot slips and PR 1 slip from next year during balloting?


My thinking is that if u are lucky, 1 slip will do.... If u are not lucky, 2 slips also no use...

Yes in summary it all depends on luck. In this instance, increase the probability of 2 chance is also good.

Hi


Am new here and currently trying to read up bout the P1 regn process... i am looking at Pei Hwa history and it says APP is 111% under Phase 2C. It is coloured in Green meaning no balloting for <1km> 1km? Does it mean it is 'safe'to buy a unit near there and kind of guarantee entry if its within 1km?

Would appreciate some advice! :lol:

there is no guarantee of anything.
the past stats only shows that there is a higher possibility of no balloting < 1km.
see 2007 stats? balloting within 1km.

Hi Celeste/Jedamum,

2006 registration is hot because of the 'Dragon year (2000)' but surprisingly 2007 registration was also very high

This year's P1 is the the lowest at 39000. 2004 is the year the baby bonus scheme was brought up and I guess there will be an increase in the number of babies up to 2005, although it is yet to be known how much the increase will be.
It's hard to say what the take-up rate will be this year, but I hope your children will get a place in Pei Hwa successfully. All the best

Further to janet_lee88’s response, there may not be as many 2004 babies, note that we have PRs, foreigners which (I think) are not counted; also, I understood that MOE adjusts the intake (ie supply) according to expected demand. Based on hearsay, some schools may be cutting down the number of classes so as to prepare for the shift towards one single session.


All in, there is no guarantee. All the best to parents registering this year (myself included).

Hi hquek,

If this year’s registration sees an equally low number of children registrating for P1 (as last year), there will not be many P1 classes. It really depends on supply and demand. But I also heard from a friend who is a teacher that schools may be cutting down number of classes to move to single session.
All schools have to move to single session by 2016, and this year is already 2010. Parents who wish to put their children in popular ones will really have to ballot then, esp Phase 2C.

Hi all, i am new to this and my gal is going to Primary One registration this year and I am a Hokkien Huay Kuan member since Feb 2009. Currently I have sold my place and am finding a new place in Punggol. Anybody can advise how high my chance of getting my daughter into Nan Chiau Pri? Also, where can I find the past few years stats for the balloting results? Thank you very much.

By the way, you haven't reported at the Newbie section yet, right? Can you please report there? It's a SOP in KSP.com.
