Based on past years registration history, rss will have balloting in P2C.
Looking at the moe record as of now, there's only 104 places left. After P2A2, probably, will have about 90 left. Meaning only 45 places left for P2B and P2C.

If you register under P2A2 in temasek primary, you should be quite secure in getting a place.

Weigh the risk yourself.

Regarding the schools, no one knows what will happen in the 6 years our children will be there. RSS is only offering Chinese, no Malay or Tamil. And higher Chinese from P1. Temasek primary will give your child a multiracial environment. MOE's directive is every school is a good school. Wonders how true this is.

Next phase is not only for parents volunteers, it is also for grassroot leaders, clan and religious group

Number of PV differ from school to school as each school can decide the number of PV they offer. Some schools do not offer any PV place.

I just wanna know red swastika wonder how many PV are there.coz there are only left abt 17 for P2B …so maybe it needs to ballot as well

This is assuming no more parents register tomorrow.
Good luck.

i wanted to know too because i am one of the PV for RSS P2B. school ever informed that they took <10 PV for this year registration and i could not find the exact number. assuming that no one register today and 17 vacancy available, chances are very high for balloting for P2B. tough...tough...all down to luck then......

Wow, it is quite shocking to note that RSS has only 34 vacancy left, assuming no one else apply today. Most of the condos around are only attaining TOP by next year with bulk still under construction. Cannot imagine the take-up rate in the future. All the best to those who have completed their PVs. Good luck :xedfingers:

I was shocked to see 70 had applied under P2A2 as of yesterday. I'm certainly glad that I was in under P2A1. Now can only wish other parents under P2B and P2C luck.
Wonder what impact the SC over PR ruling has on the impact for the remaining phases.
