Thank you @Liew Nga Wing. Your analysis is indeed perfect.
Hi Good Morning,
I assume your son who is a PR - going on Phase 2C :
There is no chance for Red Swastika, Yuneng and St Hilda's as balloting is for SC only.
You may consider to apply Fengshan at Phase 2C, if not success, then can consider Bedok green or Changkat at Phase 2C(S).[/quote] -
May I seek some suggestion here for primary one registration in 2024. My husband is alumini of Anderson Primary School. But we now lived in sembawang and Canberra primary school is within 1 km of our house. Anderson we can get in by phase 2A. But Canberra we have to try phase 2C. My child is Singaporean. We want to put him in Anderson but then we have to sell house in sembwang and move to Ang mo kio. Currently house price is crazy in Ang mo kio for new flats which are limited options too. Please share your opinion. TIA

You have a difficult choice. Both Anderson and Canberra requires balloting in Phase 2C, and what is worse, the balloting at Canberra in Phase 2C is likely to be for those staying <1km away. I would recommend you put your child in Anderson first in Phase 2A and monitor the situation in Canberra in Phase 2C. If by Day 3 of Phase 2C you think chances are good that balloting will only occur for those 1-2km away, then you can risk switching over from Anderson to Canberra. If not, stay put at Anderson and you can take your time to find a place nearer to the school.

@chief kiasu
Thanks for advise.
Is it possible to switch over after you have already registered in phase 2A? -
Hi chief kiasu, How can we know how many students have been registered by day 3 phase 2C?

Day 3 stats will not be revealed to u during the application period. It's too dynamic and also I believe they don't want parents to overthink overanalyze too much.

Wait for Chief to give more insights -

You need to drop your 2A confirmed place if you want to try for 2B or 2C. It's a ga.mb.le. This is how the current system is designed. Fair or not, u ask the authorities.

If u have already registered your kid in an earlier phase 2A,
@chief kiasu
Thanks for advise.

but now wish to register for either phase (2B or 2C),
then
you will have to give up your seat in phase 2A, before the new school allow u to try your luck balloting at phase 2B / 2C. -

You are right. Phase 2C Day 3 statistics will only be revealed a week later, when the ballot situation is announced. You will need to make your decision based on the Day 2 statistics. Take a look at the past years' statistics to gauge the chances for Day 3.
