Having said that though, kids are resilient creatures and adapt to cope with whatever school they are allocated. I know some kids who dislike their school environment & are miserable there, yet (for lack of experiencing other possible options) absolutely refuse to change schools when given the chance.

Never treat it as a lottery, its deliberate and calculated risk and informed decision making.

the official range in 2C should be around 1.3 to 1.5 applicant per vacancy.

PS: there is a tendency for people to register in that particular school that you stay close to although they are more than 1km or they are PR.

Thank you again for your kind words! Yes this is most definitely a calculated risk/investment decision more so than blind lottery. Bad choice of words from me :spank:

Thank you all for your kind advice! This has certainly provided a much needed realistic perspective on what choices I have in this big lottery game haha. Really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forums and this whole P1 registration process. Please pardon my silly question:

There is only 1 school within my 1km, and unfortunately I have no ties to it so I can only register in Phase 2C. Was previously working overseas the past 10 years also so missed out on the PV window (it's 100% my fault). Historically, this school has always balloted but no choice so I'll take my chances. Since we can only register one school during this phase, simply put, is my 'back up plan' just to take whatever is left in Phase 2CS?

Thank you and apologies if this has already been asked and answered.

your pri sch / your spouse pri sch?

it's not as simple as take whatever its left,
whatever is left, also can filter finely one.

My spouse did not study in a local primary school and my primary school was Maris Stella, but its too far from my place and I prefer a co-ed school so my other kid can get in more easily next time haha.

Actually the only school within 1km is Henry Park, and the next closest but out of the 1km range are Pei Tong and Fairfield Methodist. But Henry Park is always ballot so yeah... just have to go in and see how that turns out
