I thought KCPPS was 1-2 km in 2C this year? Do you recall how many vacancy and applicants for PCPS 2B and 2C this year (seems data is no longer on some other websites)?

If KCPPS was 1-2 km in 2C, you can at least try PCPS in 2B and then make a decision if unsuccessful.

Hi SG_KP1,

Thanks SG_KP1. Yes, I happened to see KCPPS was <1 in 2C when the result first came out. Now I cannot find the data anymore :scratchhead: If anyone can recall? Yes, will be good if it is not oversubscribe in 2C phase for <1km.

Hi parents,


My son was born in 2017 and will register for P1 in June 2023. I am a GRL and residing within 1km to both Pei Chun Public school and Kuo Chuan Presbyterian.

Based on previous year (2021) statistics, during 2B phase, PCPS needs balloting within 1-2km; KCPPS no need ballot.
Under the new system this year (2022) statistics, during 2B phase, PCPS needs balloting within 1km; KCPPS need ballot within 1-2km.

If I apply to PCPS and did not get it during 2B phase, in 2C phase both schools will need to ballot within 1km and the chance of getting is extremely low.

Hence, would like to know what you will do if in my position. Should I apply for PCPS and risk not getting in 2B or choose KCPPS which will sure get during 2B phase.

Also, would like to know if there are anyone can share about the school culture and how the principals are like for both school?

Thank you so much in advance.

Not affiliated. Only way to Phase 2B is via PV.

Dear floppy,

In phase 2B, will the school strictly take in parent volunteer only or they do also accept endorsement by GRL?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

The school can’t Pick and choose. MOE policy they are all under Phase 2B.[/quote]Hi Floppy,

Thank you!

Hi, Does anyone have experience with regards to entering school based on the Hainan Hwee Kwan Affiliation? What are the terms to be qualified into Phase 2B. Thanks!

Thanks zac’s mum for the clarification!

Hi, there are a few questions I have regarding the new 2B phase GRL registration rule:


1. If the school is oversubscribed with 2B application within 1km, no balloting chance will be given for household between 1-2km?

2. Since 2B phase is for school volunteer/clan leader/GRL, will the 20 vacancies be further split within the 3 groups or all will compete for the 20 slots with equal chance? Will the school place priority for school volunteer over the others?

Thank you.

Dear all,


I am residing at Bishan, the GRC is Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC. Does being an active grass root leader make my child eligible for Phase 2B in all the schools within Bishan and Toa Payoh area? If my house is within 1km to 1 school in Bishan and 1 school in Toa Payoh, means I can choose either one to apply during Phase 2B?

I am confused and hope can get some help/answer here.

Thanks in advance.
