I would suggest you register and secure a place in CHIJ Katong under phase 2A first and then observe the situation at St Nicks before deciding whether to give up CHIJ Katong and register in St Nicks under phase 2B.

You mean we can take the phase 2A place and then give up later? Are the number of applicants published during each phase everyday so that we will know what is the risk for balloting?

If you have a secured place in CHIJ Katong under 2A, take it. St Nic has balloting for those staying within 1km every year. It's scary to give up your confirmed place for balloting.

In a dilemma because St Nick's supposed to be a better school and of course there is a secondary school affliation. The chance during balloting may be so-many percent but to the individual it is either 0 or 100% :stupid:

Hi all, I am a newbie here and I would like to ask your opnion on whether I should give up a phase 2A place in CHIJ Katong to go for balloting in phase 2b for St Nicks? I am living within 1 km of St Nicks. Big dilemma.

Hi, just want to get some opinions whether anyone here would give up a phase 2A place in CHIJ Katong for a potential phase 2B place in St Nicks because St Nicks is a better school?
