curious:

I will get admission for my child in 2C as we are within 1-2KM of the school. Above 2km is being balloted.
So I guess we got in using distance priority.
We are planning to move in closer to the school (walking distance).
is moving closer (from >1KM to <1KM) also against the MOE rule?
as I understood the staying for 30 months at the original address is to stop parents from moving away, while they got the admission using the nearer distance.

cool analysis.

I was fiddling with some numbers too for my own curiosity. Just wanted to share some data with other who may be interested for casual perusal. (PS: most of the data is from balloting.xyz)

Here is a pic with the total number of applicants in each phase and the TUR compared to vacancies (in phase and total). The final totals will not tally with the total vacancies due to withdrawals from earlier phases during 2C.

BTW did anyone keep track of the total number of slots which went to ballot during 2B??


Below are stats of each school, showing which went into ballot during 2C and how is the situation compared to previous years (projected data).

Hi Wanted to check, I was not able to register online today for my daughter - we got an error message that the our record is not there in the database. All three of us (me, my husband and my daughter) are PRs, however we got the PR 6 months after my daughter was born. Is that the reason?

yes. since the rules state that at the time of child's birth both parents must already be SC/PR. To use the online system.
you would need to go to the school of your choice to register.

Wanted to ask about the registration process at the school.
The below website has the forms for all phases.
Do we have to download and fill these up and bring to school for onsite registration?
https://www.moe.gov.sg/admissions/primary-one-registration/application-forms

I am Not sure but somehow I did not see this link in the main P1 registration pages. But these ended up on the Google results.

Anyone can advice/ confirm?

I can answer that personally.

Use the forms given by the school because they are a series of carbon copies which one of it (PARENT'S COPY) need to be retained by you when registering.

As a first time registrant, I went to fill in the forms via PDF and printed them out before registration only to be told flatly during registration that we should be using their copy instead.

Ha ha I had the same plan.
Fill in Pdf and have few copies ready to go to diff school (if needed).

Thanks so much for clarification.

Just wanted to confirm that during Phase 2C, if we register at a school, we can also withdraw the application within the phase itself.
i.e. its not a requirement that the withdrawal is after the results of that phase?
Can somone confirm if there is such provision for online system? register and withdraw online? or register online and then withdraw only at the school?

Did some more research and it seems that the P1-IS online system \"might\" also have a feature for withdrawing the school previously registered. Although the instructions are not very clear. There is also no online guide

Wanted to understand the application and withdrawal \"tricks\" in phase 2C.
MOE Website lists phase 2C registration as
Online registration : From 29 July 2019 to 31 July 2019
Registration at school : From 30 July 2019 to 1 August 2019

1) Does this means I have a choice to do online registration or do the registration at school?

2) If can register at school (from day 2), means I can wait till end of day one and check the websites who show number of applicants at end of day 1, to decide whether to risk for my 1st choice or activate the 2nd choice by going to school directly on day 2 or 3.
https://balloting.xyz does seem to have updates per day for this year.
Are there other sites as well, we can follow? Seems calling the school to ask for updates might not work all the time.

3) Can I register for a school on day 2 and based on end of day 2 stats go to the school and withdraw on day 3 and go to 2/3 choice on day 3 itself ? I understand we need to withdraw application before registering for a new school. Is this withdraw and new application process possible within the same phase? or I must wait for phase 2C results and withdraw and register during 2CS

In other chat groups it seems lot of parents are registering and withdrawing easily. So I was wondering if this \"gaming\" the system really works.
Thanks in advance for guidance / feedback.

Withdrawal can be same phase, even same day or next hour. Must bring both parents' ID to submit.

Also dont be fool into thinking its easy, withdrawing and registering is no mean feat. Which parent station at which school? withdraw at 230pm, or 330pm? what is the best route to travel to the next school? will you be on time? during the same time, are other parents doing the same thing?[/quote]Thanks Davischew and Lexy for the insights.
I guess I will monitor the number of applicants till end of day 2 and then decide what to do on day 3.
And take leave from office for those days, to make the running around easy.. ha ha

Dear Experts,
wanted to seek your opinion on Tanjong Katong Primary School.
From the past statistics TKPS only went for balloting in 2018 in phase 2CS, prior to that, till 2015 even people going for 2CS got in without ballot.
I was hoping for that as my choice for 2C phase and I live within 2 km of the school.
TKPS will have a new location (new building) and morning session from next year, compared to the temporary location and afternoon session last 2-3 years.

So what I wanted to know from the experienced folks here is, how much to trust the past 2-3 years data, since the school might not have been an ideal choice (due to afternoon session).
Do you guys think given the new location and morning session TKPS will be more popular in 2C/2CS phases?
while the predictions (projections) of 2019 are on this site, but are they only based on past data, or they also take into account the new factor like new popularity due to morning session.

Thanks and regard.

Are you SC? and staying 1-2km of the TKPS?

PR staying within 1-2KM.
