My conclusion:
balloting for more than 2KM is common for pei hwa thus 2B letter is not a bao jiak.
have a plan B ready.
(like RGPS or BTPS)

EDIT:
bro, your address is near your RC right?

skii:

sch A: within 1KM

sch B: more than 2KM

it was lucky for me.

[quote=\"skii\"]hope it helps.

my 2B experience was:
I apply sch A on day 1.
end of Day 1, 150+% oversubscribed and all are within 1KM, i.e confirm balloting.

withdrew from Sch A on day 2.
applied Sch B.
no ballotting since applicants less than no. of places.
all got in happily.

my 2B letter never go to waste.

May I ask your choice of Sch A is within 1-2km of your residence or > 2km?

day 2 of phase 2b

eg: peihwa applicant more than spaces and balloting outside 2km,
jump ship to rgps, bukit timah pri (during day 2)[/quote]

So, u meant jump ship and apply for phase 2c of another school?[/quote]

Firstly you cant apply for phase 2c when registration for phase 2b is ongoing.

Once registration for Phase 2b is closed then phase 2c would be opened for registration.

The registration dates for both phases are different.

What skii meant was on the last day of registration at phase 2b, if balloting is required for pei hwa for.those living outside 2km, one might want to consider going to another school that has a higher chance of getting in.

So you need to.monitor the no of.applicants vs vacancy very carefully and decide.on the.last day of.phase 2b which school you want.to.register your.child with.[/quote]

Ah…now I get it. Thanks 12mum and skii…

So, let’s say if did not get thru the Phase2B at PeiHwa, then how? Wait till Phase 3 and 3(S) complete then approach an alternative school?

skii:

you are correct,

i forgot to ask the most impt qn.
where is his address now?

lee_yl:

If your home address is under Holland-Bukit Timah GRC, then you can apply for any school within Holland-Bukit Timah GRC. However, if you are under HBT but decide to cross over to AMK to help out at Teck Ghee, then of cos you won’t be eligible to apply under phase 2B at PM Lee’s ward.

I used to work as a volunteer in AMK for the Meet-The-People Sessions for years but I reside in Novena, thus, I can only apply schools under Tanjong Pagar GRC (back then).

Hi..yes my address is within GRC

Benwong75:

Hi all seniors, can I ask if the school is within the GRC I m serving in BUT it’s MORE than 2km away, does the Phase 2b still apply? e.g. residence in Bukit Panjang, interested school in Bukit Timah.

bro
if you could spell out the specifics
then we can advise

eg: which NC/RC (falls within which grc)
more than 2 years?

which sch you are aiming
say its its nyps, acs, st nicks, rosyth, TNS, and etc.....
2b is CONFIRM balloting within 1km

other schs, 2B may just work like magic

then theres the botherline schs which one may wanna risk.

Hi, actually I m serving at one of Bukit Panjang RC within HBT GRC. Should be able to accumulate the required no. of years by the time my child is to enrol for P1. We are keen to enrol him with PeiHwa but we are out of 2km. Not sure if we should even consider this option.

I m not sure, so hope to get some advice here from parents who have experienced such scenario before…
