UPDATED 19 July after the end of Phase 2B. Phase 2B has ended. We have compiled the results.
Analysis
More schools joined the ballot list after the close of the 2nd and final day of Phase 2B. As predicted, all schools either stayed the same or increased in their TUR, with the exception of Red Swastika where a lone parent withdrew from the heavily oversubscribed school.
Chongfu school has the highest take-up in the 2nd day of Phase 2B registration, with 31 registered, or 34% of the total number registered for Phase 2B.
Overall, about 17% of registrants in the 2011 P1 Registration Exercise for Phase 2B registered on the 2nd day. This is very similar to the trend for Phase 2A2.
Notes on Table
Vacancies vs 2010 Column
This shows the difference in vacancies offered by the school in 2011 versus 2010. A negative value shows a decrease from the previous year, which would intensify the level of competition for the seats this year.
Phase App Column
This shows the total number of applicants for the Phase versus the total number of vacancies offered for that Phase. 100% means all the vacancies offered for the Phase is taken up. More than 100% means there are too many registrants, and balloting will happen for that Phase.
Ballot Risk Columns
1. The Ballot Risk index ranges from 0.0 to 1.0
2. You should read it as a 3-part scale:
0.0-0.36: (Green) Risk of balloting only for those staying beyond 2km. Parents staying within 2km should not worry too much. As the value approaches 0.36, chance of balloting at this distance is actually very high. Any value above 0.36 means balloting at any distance is quite likely for that specific school.
0.37-0.78: (Yellow) Risk of balloting only for those staying between 1-2km. Those staying beyond 2km may not even have a chance to ballot. Parents staying within 1km may not need to ballot at all. As the value approaches 0.78, chance of balloting at this distance is actually very high.
0.79-1.00: (Red) Risk of balloting only for those staying within 1km. Anyone staying beyond 1km may not even get a chance to ballot at all.

parent voluntary program
Hi,
My son borned in 2009. May i know when he will need to register for P1. If i want to qualify for the parent voluntary program (and go for Phase 2B), when and how to join in? Am i need to contact the school directly? Thanks.
Phase 2B
I would like to know if my son and I are Catholics, does it mean we naturally fall under phase 2B?
If not, what documentation do I need to prove it?
Any kindergardens which links to Maris Stella that guarantees a place there?
2B APP vs TUR
Hi
I'm a bit confused between the 2 info. I'm looking at SCGS. If the 2B APP is 93%, that means 93% of vacancies available in phase 2B is taken up right? Then why is the take up rate (TUR) only 79%?
Thanks in advance.
Balloting history for 2011
Dear Chief, is above info available yet?
Many thanks.
Criteria for Parent Volunteering Acceptance
Hi all,
Am just starting out to do research for my soon to be 3 yo (born 2008).
To qualify for the parent voluntary program (and go for Phase 2B), do i need to stay closer to the school to qualify for it? If yes, what's the criteria for selecting parent voluntary, is it based on the <1km, 1-2km, >2km consideration?
What if I have not move there yet and I plan to buy a place (which is still in construction) near that school? Checking this because i don't want to buy that place already (within 1km) and not able to participate in phase 2B. then i'll be stuck with the property (yes, choosing property location based on the school!).
Can somebody advice on this?
Thanks!
Criteria for Parent Volunteering Acceptance
from what i know, there is no specific criteria to be a parent volunteer. however, my gut feel is that some schools want only professionals.
i had gone for an interview and the principal was telling me she had professors, doctors, lawyers doing PV like traffic duty etc. so i had the impression that she was trying to "show off".
i think it depends.
in terms of house, my understanding is that you have up to end of 2nd year to move in, ie. if you register in June 2012, you need to show your new property TOP is before 31 December 2014. you can review MOE's website for this.
is there a balloting history
is there a balloting history chart for phase 2Cs?
Is there a mistake on the
Is there a mistake on the list? I know for a fact that under Phase 2B, balloting is required for those < 1km for NYPS. But on the list, it is indicated as green ie balloting is required for those outside of 2km only.
But seeing no one has pointed this out, have I interpreted the chart wrongly?
Please see Chief's reply below..
"The Ballot Risk...
... is a statistical measure that is based on historical data (2006-2010). It does not take the current (2011) situation into consideration. It is necessary for parents to review all the given parameters (Change in 2011 vacancies vs 2010, difference in 2011 TUR vs historical and 2010) to form their own decisions on whether to take the risk.

Pei Chun Public School
Dear Parents,
I am registring my son on P2C for Pei Chun, and we stay within 1km. Looking at the trending, can anyone share with me what is the likelihood of balloting for those within 1km in Pei Chun??
We are torn between Pei Chun, or going directly to Kou Chuan, which likely do not need to ballot for less than 1km.(we live in Bishan- but both school within 1km)
Apperciate some wise advice !!
Thanks

Phase 2C for ACSP
Dear Chief, Do you have the past statistics for ACSP's phase 2C? I live within 1km. Based on your analysis, ballot risk is 0.91. In the last few years, were those within 1 km under balloting? Your reply is very much appreciated. BH
Please Advice
Dear Chief
My kids will be under Phase 2C. I would like to seek your advice / view on getting into HPPS & we come under 1KM. I understand only the % risk. But what's the % success. Can advice me?
Is there any alternate that you can recommend?

MGS vs PLMGS
Hi Chief,
It looks like MGS is much more difficult to get in than Paya Lebar MGS. Need your wise advice.
I don't live within 1km of MGS or PLMGS, so i will have to move to Bt Timah in order to get DD into MGS, which means take bank loan and buy an expensive property there. Or I shld stay put in my current place and register DD in PLMGS?
Hi Angelight, I hope you dun
Hi Angelight, I hope you dun mind me jumping to provide a humble opinion. You'll probably have to consider if you are well able to afford the bank loan for an expensive property near MGS, and whether you have any regrets if your dd does not end up getting there if it is over subscribed. It's extremely stressful to have to support a big loan unless you and your spouse are earning alot. And if you are, then its a no brainer to buy an expensive property in that case. If u are stressed over the loan in future, it'll affect your dd and cause her to be stressed out even if she is in MGS. So whatever u decide, its best to make a decision that is comfortable for your family and the least stressful.
Money No Enough
Hi michyms,
thanks for your advice. To be honest, I'm not quite keen to move to Bt Timah just to get DD into MGS (no guarantee also) cos DH is sole breadwinner and I'm a SAHM (money not enough!
).
But DH feels that he is shortchanging DD if we dont get her into the best school (MGS better than PLMGS in terms of standard). He himself went to a top boys' school, so he also wants his girl to have the best. But he also worries abt the financial burden if we buy a property near MGS. So now in dilemna loh.
We also don't want DD to blame us next time for not sending her to the best pri school...
Hi Angelight, I'm pretty sure
Hi Angelight, I'm pretty sure your dd won't blame you at all :) For kids, the most important thing in the world to them is knowing their parents love them and care for them, and spend time with them. The school would not make that much difference. Even if she goes to PLMGS, your dd may make it to a good secondary school on her own merit, as alot of my friends and my dh have done -- from neighbourhood primary schools to branded secondary schools :) My dh has never blamed his parents for not sending him to a branded primary school. He made it to a top secondary school, then to JC and Uni by his own efforts. Besides, PLMGS and MGS are not that different. I know its a hard decision, and we all want the best for our kids. So do think carefully, and weigh all pros and cons.
Rulang PV
This yr Rulang PVs need to ballot even for those staying within 1km.
Flat under construction, can I still use the address?
Hell Chief,
Recently had decided to move near Poi Ching School at Tampines. But the newly booked flat is under construction till 2014. But my gal is ready for P1 in 2013. I do not want her to switch school. Can I still register under the P2C using the newly booked address cos the new flat is <1km distance from Poi Ching School.
Please advise,
yycheo
Flat under construction, can I still use the address?
Hello Chief,
Thank you very much for the reply. Does the date for (TOP) much not be later than 31 Dec 2013 apply to this year registration of P1 for 2012? Will the date move according for next year P1 registration for 2013?
best regards,
yycheo
@yycheo
I'm not Chief.
But the answer to your question is yes. By next year's registration, the date will read 31 Dec 2014.
So the guideline is that the new place must TOP before the start of P3.
Good Morning BigDevil. Yours
Good Morning BigDevil. Yours reply really help and make us more confidence with the planning for my gal
. But still have to keep my fingers cross, cos Poi Ching also not easy to get in.
@yycheo
This is taken from http://www.moe.edu.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/required-documents/
Proof of Purchase of Yet-to-be Completed Property
An original Sales and Purchase document is required if the address of a yet-to-be completed private property is used for registration. The date of commitment by the developer in the Temporary Occupation Permit (T.O.P.) must not be later than 31 Dec 2013. In the case of a yet-to-be completed HDB flat, the Agreement for Lease is required.
Parents must move into the new property within two years of the child’s entry into Primary One.
West Grove or Xingnan
Dear Chief,
I will be going to 2C on July 27. I do not know which school should I go. I stay within 1km to West Grove but based on the above table, I might need to ballot for 111 seats. Whereas Xingnan is 1k-2km from my home and seats available are 134. I'm worried that if I can't get into WG, Xingnan will not be available in 2C(S) too. Pls advice.
Anyone got good advice for
Anyone got good advice for me? Should I take the chance?
@Kukana
Your worry is not unfounded.
All schools in JW (except Juying) reduced intake this year, so you can expect more intense competition at West Grove than before. And all who failed at various other schools are going to flock to Xingnan in Phase 2CS, so you will again see intense competition.
My opinion is not to risk it, but just go for a sure bet in Xingnan during phase 2C.
Thank you BigDevil. (let
Thank you BigDevil. (let go... let go) Sometimes, I just feel so wasted not to try within 1KM.
Now, I understand the anxiety of those parents.
I believe you already know
I believe you already know all along what you should do. You just need another voice to help make up your mind, and to provide support for what you are going to do.
Well, you have my support.
Best of luck!
PeiChun & KhengCheng
Cheif,
Im staying within 1km from PeiChun & KhengCheng. What do you think are the chances of getting in Peichun for phase 2C? If cant get into Pei Chun i will have to opt for Kheng Cheng at Phase 2Cb. Any likelyhood that KhengCheng will ballot for phase 2Cb?
Btw, Im a Pr so can only ballot once.
During registration, is it base on first come first serve basis? Or its better to view the situation first and register on the 2nd day?
thanks
@Twins Closet
hi twins closet
it is not true that PR can only ballot once.
the only difference between PR & Citizen in balloting, is that when balloting occurs and both are within the distance requiring balloting, the PR gets to place 1 slip into the ballot bowl while the citizen gets to place 2 slips into the same ballot bowl.
there is no more first come first serve in registration. with effect from this year, all phases will conduct ballot should number of applicants exceed available vacancies.
good luck !
balloting for phase 2C
As of first day of Phase 2B, number applied (30) for Red Swastika as outnumber the vanancies (22). There will be balloting even for this phase. Therefore 8 of them will not get the places.
Can the 8 of them join in the ballot for phase 2C.
If yes, i suppose they are within 1km right. If they are more than 1km then totally no chance. Am I right to say that?
@winnie171175
hi
at end of phase 2B, there are 29 applicants for the 22 places at Red Swastika. balloting is more or less confirmed unless after allocation by distance, the cutoff happened to be exactly at 22.
unsuccessful applicants of any earlier phase can always apply back at same school in subsequent phases.
good luck
for phase 2B balloting, it
for phase 2B balloting, it depends on how many of them stay <1km among these 30 Red Swastika applicants. if there are less than 22 of them staying <1km, then no balloting needed for those. e.g. 20 apps stay <1km, they can all get in. then left 2 vac for those stay 1-2km. if there're 5 of them, then they need to ballot for these 2 vac. no chance for balloting for those >2km.
for those who can't get in during phase 2B, who may not necessary be staying >1km, they can still register for phase 2C but then will be competing with more applicants staying <1km.
hope it answers your questions...
North Land Primary Phase 2B
North Land Primary Phase 2B :
As per the above table it is mentioned as 0.02 for Ballot Risk, what does it mean.
@panuganty
hi
at the end of phase 2B, there are 54 applicants for the 44 available vacancies. So balloting is more or less confirmed, unless after the allocation by distance, the cutoff happens to be exactly at 44.
Northland
Called the sschool. The ballot is conducting for 1-2km.
Agree that this year there
Agree that this year there are many suprises that in Phase 2B balloting situation surfacing out. Guess this could be due to more property being constructed near these 'popular schools" & also the school reduce the intake.
BUKIT PANJANG PRIMARY SCHOOL - PHASE 2B
Hi, Chief,
I am PV of BPPS stay within 1 km but seems like there will be balloting for this year as just called gen office that 30/41 are staying within 1km as for yesterday.
Can you advise the how many seats taken on last year phase 2b ?
I am really worried...
2010 Bukit Panjang Phase 2B registrations...
... there were 45 seats taken up in Phase 2B last year.
Somehow, I don't believe that balloting will occur for those within 1km for BPPS in Phase 2B this year. It is more likely for those beyond 2km.
We will know by tonight :)
2010 Bukit Panjang Phase 2B Registration
Hi, Chief ,
Thanks for your reply !
I hope so... just called the gen office , total 33 are staying within 1km.

CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace

West Grove
Hi Chief
I am one of the Ruilang PV living more than 2km..hence no choice. Now, thinking of West Grove which is less than 1 km from where I stay for Phase 2C.
Do you have any comments on West Grove, whether it is a good school?
Looking at the current vancanies, do you I stand a choice for West Gove under Phase 2C?
Thanks
Hi, in my own opinion and
Hi, in my own opinion and looking at the history - West Grove is sure to have balloting for those staying within 1 km. This is mainly becauses the school is surrounded by many HDB flats and it's 1km radius does cover quite fair bit of areas. Do have a back-up plan if you are planning for Phase 2C In WGPS.
Thanks
Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it.
Renting House Near School of Choice
Hi there,
Given the current property market prices so high, we are not able to purchase a flat near to the primary school of our choice, and is thinking of renting a flat within the 1km radius. Will we be able to update our IC to the new address and use it for the registration of the school?
Dear Baby Elle...
... you may change your NRIC address to the rental address provided you are physically staying there. It is a chargeable offence if you cannot be located in the address you provide in your NRIC.
If you want to use that address for P1 Registration, your child is expected to be physically staying there for all of the 6 years of Primary school education. If you move within the 1st 2 years, you could be subject to investigation by MOE.
