Im registering my child this year at holy innocents primary sch under phrase 2a2, as i am an old boy. However we are thinking of monitoring nan chiau under phrase 2c as the school is within walking distance <1km.

What are the chances? Nan chiau already has 144 slots taken under phrase 1.

No need to waste time monitoring. Guaranteed balloting for SC < 1km.

Therefore, you have to decide whether giving up a confirmed place in a school is worth it for a shot in the dark.

Just hoping lesser applications for 2c, hence increasing odds for balloting.

There are those gungho fellas that withdrawl and register in the last hour! I don't have the stomach for it. The morning of the last day would be a good time to execute your contingency plan.

Wow.. means the sch can withdraw immediately? I called moe and they say need 1 day leh

Confirm can withdraw immediately. At least that was the case for me in 2016.

You better check whether (a) the MOE person who told you need one day is ignorant; or (b) this year 2019 suddenly need so long 1 day to withdraw. I doubt MOE’s intranet system has gone retro and back into the 80s kind of dialup internet connection so slow...[/quote]Thanks for the enlightment!

Is it in time to withdraw on 2nd day? Or even 3rd day?

[quote=Destan84 post_id=1912257 time=1558929952 user_id=177998]Hi all..am staying in Punggol. Only within 1-2km from nan chiau( preferred sch). Wife’s primary school alumni is Hong Wen school. Not sure if should try balloting for nan chiau under the 1-2km category(which I think will be very over subscribed) or just go for Hong Wen.

Any inputs will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!

I would go for Hong Wen since low chance of securing a spot in Nan Chiau.

Why not just register for Hong Wen in Phase 2A and monitor the demand for Nan Chiau in Phase 2C to see if it is worth betting for?[/quote]Is it in time to withdraw on 2nd day? Or even 3rd day?
