Singapore Primary 1 Registration School Balloting History

Share

(Updated 2 Aug 2010) Here is the consolidated Primary One Registration balloting history of Singapore's Primary Schools, since 2006.  In this latest edition, we have included the 2009 data as part of the Historical Average.  This data is useful to parents as an indicator of the difficulty of getting their children into their preferred schools.

The table below describes the various possible scenarios: 

Scenario

Interpretation

No balloting necessary The number of applicants (APP) was at most equal to the number of vacancies available for that Phase.  All registrants were successful.
No balloting even though APP exceeded vacancies for a Phase The only time this happens is if twins, triplets, etc were successfully registered within the Phase.  Multiple births are treated only as 1 registrant during registration.
Cut off at 1-2km The number of applicants (APP) exceeded the number of available vacancies.  All those staying under 1km were successful without balloting.  As there was an EXACT number of applicants staying in the 1-2km range for the remaining vacancies, those staying 1-2km were also successful without balloting.  All those staying outside of 1-2km were unsuccessful.  There was no ballot.
Cut off at <1km The number of applicants (APP) exceeded the number of available vacancies.  As there was an EXACT number of applicants staying under 1km for the available vacancies, those staying under 1km were successful without balloting.  All those staying outside of 1km were unsuccessful.  There was no ballot.

Balloting required at >2km

The number of applicants (APP) exceeded the number of available vacancies.  All those staying under 2km were successful without balloting.  All those staying  beyond 2km have to ballot for the remaining vacancies.  If X% of APP were staying under 2km, then the probability of winning the ballot is (100-X)/(APP-X).  To determine X, it is necessary to check with the school sometime before the end of the days of registration for that Phase.

Balloting required at 1-2km

The number of applicants (APP) exceeded the number of available vacancies.  All those staying under 1km were successful without balloting.  All those staying beyond 2km were unsuccessful without balloting.  All those staying 1-2km have to ballot for the remaining vacancies.  If X% of APP were staying under 1km, then the probability of winning the ballot is (100-X)/(APP-X).  To determine X, it is necessary to check with the school sometime before the end of the days of registration for that Phase.

Balloting required at <1km

The number of applicants (APP) exceeded the number of available vacancies.  All those staying beyond 1km were unsuccessful without balloting.  All those staying within 1km have to ballot for the remaining vacancies.  The probability of winning the ballot is (100/APP).

Re: new address

Hi Little Precious

Based on existing MOE's ruling, we can use address of new property as long as its TOP is by 31Dec of the year the child is in Pri2.

Thus for your child's case, the TOP must be before 31Dec2013.

Holy Innocent v Maris Stella

hi, i've the above schools in mind but Maris Stella is our first choice. we're 1-2 km fr holy innocent but outside 2 km fr Maris Stella and we're catholic thus under 2B. according to the historial data, there's no balloting for Maris Stella except this yr, do u think i still risk to try Maris Stella next yr or just opt for holy innocent?

thanks.

Re: Balloting for CHS

Hi janyroo

Same as BigDevil's post, hope you are registering next year as you have missed this year's registration dates.

And if you are registering next year, then just to clarify that the vacancy available under 2b differs each year. So no one could really predict what's the number of places available next year.

How far is your place from the school?

Re: Balloting for Catholic High School

Hi janyroo,

I sincerely hope you are asking this question for next year's registration. 2B registration is already over...in fact, 2C registration is also over.

Balloting for Catholic High School

What are the chances for 2B if you are already:

1. living within 1km

2. have volunteered

3. a member of the catholic association

With only 9 places up for balloting, should I be giving up?

Hi 9piggy6 If you meet the

Hi 9piggy6

If you meet the min requirement for grassroots leaders, you will be given a letter endorsing your eligibility to register in phase 2b, together with parents volunteers, church and clans members. Whether you need to ballot or even can participate in the balloting would depends on whether
- the school is balloting for that phase
- which distance is the balloting for
- whether you are staying within or further than that distance

If you are not successful in phase 2b, you are to register again under phase 2c.

Phase 2B

Hi how does it work for Phase 2B if I am a community leader and leaves more than 2km away from a good primary within my GRC zone?

Do i still need to go for balloting or i will have to wait for Phase 2c exercise? Please advise...
