Hi Parents


please advise me. I am looking to use my parent’s address for registration in Phase 2C, understand she will fall under the 1 to 2km group. The balloting history for the school is 0.30 likely for 1 to 2km. If my girl does not get in, I think there are none in the area I am keen on and will thus fall back to my own address and sch in the vicinity. I have this question:
1. Are we allowed to just swop address to use at say, at Phase 2C I use parent address. If i do not get a seat, i use my own address at Phase 2C(S)?

Thank you

Hi all. Need advice for PLMGS, 2023 registration. I am trying to think how I can increase my chances. My mum is the main caregiver and I understand she will be in the 1 to 2km category. No other affliliation so will be in 2c.


Does it makes sense to shift within 1km (in phase 2c), or be a church member (in phase 2B, 1 to 2km)?

Or, would Hong wen be a good choice (within 1km phase 2c)

Appreciate any thoughts on this!

I just got a bit gan Chong when u said got balloting history. I have been having a tough time understanding the whole p1 data. Haha. But sure. Thanks for your pov!

[quote=\"jolie\"]Hi all, just to understand the table. Chances for SC within 1KM of st andrew is ok under 2C? i do not have a 2nd choice as the ones near my house at 1KM is Hong Wen and Bendemeer. Hong Wen is too hot and i am worried to spend my 2C chance on it and get balloted out. i am not taking part for this year but would love to hear your views pls.


Pls share your thoughts with me experienced parents!!

Based on the balloting History of St Andrew Junior, there were years where balloting was required for SC living less than 1 km. P1 registration is all about luck. If your child is not applying this year, you can increase your chance by being in earlier phrase. You have more tries.

I am zooming in for Hong Wen this year. Backup plan will be bendemeer in 2CS

Don’t scare Jolie lah...I paste the balloting history for SAJS here for you: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/toa-payoh/

The last time it was red color for phase 2C was wayyyyyyy back in 2010 (8 years ago). The recent years <1km very safe, despite the plenty of new condos TOP in that area.

Jolie, if u have free time, by all means try PV, but if not, I think u can just observe this year’s Dragon babies registration to see whether there’s balloting or not. My bet is no balloting, even with the Bidadari HDB completion. Nothing bad about the school btw, although u can try to ask around your neighbors about the new principal who just took over. Not sure what changes being implemented, if any.[/quote]
Thanks Zac Mum. I am applying to be PV! Will try my best effort for two chances. And yes. I will be monitoring for this year registration.

Hi Firstda, I thought Hong Wen is the one with ballot for less than 1km for SC. I thought the table looks like competition is super stiff. You may wish to have a look again at the chart. I have been studying them for the past few days... I wasn’t sure if I got it correct hence I asked. Heng Zac Mum assured that I was correct in my understanding. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the input!
