Thank you both for your prompt response.

@floppy, I agree with you, its really nothing much for PR to consider.
@Lexy, thank you for your patience and your objective analysis.

Hi Experts, need your advice, for my PR son, with current stats:

Junyuan Primary: Vacancy 82; Applicants 86
Tampines Primary: Vacancy 81; Applicants 92
both 1-2km distance.
Do you think I should still go for these 2?

Hi Lexy,


In view of what I have, was target for Tampines Pri in 2C, & Tampines North Pri in 2Cs but with the available vacancies now, am not sure.

School <1km:
1. St. Hilda’s Primary School
2. Poi Ching Primary School

School 1-2km:
3. Gongshang Primary School
4. Junyuan Primary School
5. Tampines Primary School
6. Tampines North Primary School

Thanks Davischew and Lexy.

Junyuan nornally has lower vacancies left but this year Tampines Pri has the same vacancies. Both are 1-2km away. The applicants# is not update till the phase closed, definitely a lot of uncertainty.

Ah, it clears my doubts completely now. Thanks to Doraxmon and also Lexy’s clear explanation.

Ya, am PR 1-2km, applying for 2C indeed, doubt will have a chance ya?

Hi all,

I am quite puzzle with the vacancies count in phase 2B, e.g. Tampines Primary School, in Phases 2A(2), the vacancy available is 75, # of Applicant is 33 (as of 23 July). The vacancy in Phase 2B, plus 20 reserved, should be 62. But the vacancy shows is 41 instead. Is my calculation wrong?

Many thanks for your quick response, floppy.

I am really lost, while initially was thinking of Changkat Primary School, coz i stayed just nearby before i moved. But since there is a cap introduced, the chance is pretty slim for SPR staying >2km.

Hi floppy,


Your analysis is impressive.
Need your expertise too. We are SPR, living in Tampines Ave 9. I need to register P1 for my son this year in Phase 2C.

School <1km:
1. St. Hilda’s Primary School
2. Poi Ching Primary School

School 1-2km:
3. Gongshang Primary School
4. Junyuan Primary School
5. Tampines Primary School
6. Tampines North Primary School

In no doubt, we are sure that we wont be able to get into the first 2 primary schools. We are not sure

Could you advise we will have the chance for any primary schools within 1-2km? Or we have to go outside of 2km?

Thank you so much.
