Does anyone know when/where to provide documents for 2A? Or school will call us to verify?

I just got a call from the school and received an email on the list of documents to submit for their verification for enrollment under Phase 2A. I think it shld be the same with all other schools.

You will most likely have to ballot for Rosyth > 2km in the new Phase 2A, if there's a chance at all. If your in-law's are living in the vicinity, you can make consider making a declaration if you meet the conditions to use a caregiver's address. That will bring you to within 2km. It's not great but will definitely have better chances than > 2km. Otherwise, there's nothing much you can do about it apart from moving house to within 1km.

You will most definitely get into Rivervale in the new Phase 2A. Thus, you could wait for the figures of Rosyth on Day 1 before deciding between Rosyth or Rivervale.

Should you choose to ballot for Rosyth and fail to get in, you are down to Elias Park (ballot for SC < 1km), Meridian (shoo-in for SC < 1km) and White Sands (iffy since it is between balloting for SC 1-2km and SC < 1km). Pasir Ris is a no-go since it will ballot for SC < 1km. Assuming you enjoy balloting, you can pick Elias Park or White Sands, with Meridian as the final option for Phase 2CS.

Thanks @floppy for the in-depth analysis! Just to add,

Look at the columns '2C balloting'. For White Sands, it is either 5 or 6. For Pasir Ris, there are more 6 and only one 5.

5 means balloting occurred within 1-2 km.
6 means balloting occurred within 1km.

There's still some hope for White Sands as the balloting is less intense, but I wouldn't hold my breath for either school.

Thanks floppy and ChiefKiasu for the analysis and suggestions! It's very helpful. Good point for me to wait for the figures on Day 1, I think this would help me make a decision. Unfortunately my MIL stays slightly out of 2km, so there's nothing much I can do about increasing my chances to apply at Rosyth.

As for 2C, looking at the stats, I have zero chance at Pasir Ris Primary, and still have a risk to try out for White Sands Primary. So i'll have to re-evaluate again on my options for 2C. Thanks both!

Hello! I’ll like to consult everyone here and gather some inputs. With the change in the P1 registration, quite a lot have changed in my planning. We were caught off guard by the changes and were not in time to do PV.


Initially the plan is to try for:
Phase 2a(1) Rosyth
Phase 2a(2) Rivervale Primary

And that was it. Both schools have a good range of CCAs and are reputable in their areas. We were willing to make the daily commute as we stay in Pasir Ris (!!!) I know- not very feasible for Rosyth due to distance but my MIL’s family has been Rosythians for 3 generations and I think its a good school too.

Now that there’s changes, I wanted to seek opinions on Phase 2C in Pasir Ris. We have shortlisted some schools:

Within 1km:
Elias Park Primary
Meridian Primary

1km to 2km:
White Sands Primary
Pasir Ris Primary

Based on stats, both White Sands Primary and Pasir Ris Primary requires balloting in Phase 2C. But I’m not sure if it’s balloting within 1km, 1 - 2km or more than 2km.

Any thoughts? Should I go Phase 2A with Rivervale Primary or is there still chance for Rosyth? And if Phase 2C, should I try for Pasir Ris Primary / White Sands Primary? If all else fails, I’ll try Phase 2C(S) for Meridian. Thanks in advance!!
