With the new policy, the shift is for parents to move to within 2km of the school. Thats what the govt wants, and thats how the game is played. Even if SCs shift to between (1 to 2 km) - St Nick primary 2A girls' seats also not guaranteed, because of balloting involved in the combined 2A phase now,...

In my opinion, it does gives parents two bites of the cherry. (One in the earlier phase, the other in 2C). If the govt wants more 2C parents to enter these schools due to proximity, then parents will just play by the rules and move within 1km of the school to be assured of a place. Next year will be...

It's Out!
Balloting outside 2KM!

As per one of my posts, I’m not familiar with St. Stephen’s. I do, however, find the data on St. Stephen’s an abnormality.

This info may be quite dated (Jan 2017) but slides seem to suggest that the 25% qualified to enter SJI Sec from SSS is comparab...

Ok guess I am not very well-informed about the prejudices. Apart from that, I do know Monfort has very strong badminton team (nat champs many years). That itself i think is amazing. As for SSS, my expat friends send their kids there and even my gf who married an angmoh. No complaints. That's why I ...

I am shocked at some of the incorrect “answers” given in this forum. Here’s the facts: You must register using the address where you reside. Where you reside is the address on your IC. As per the National Registration Act, the address in your IC must be accurate. If it is not accurate, you can be f...

Firstly, I checked with MOE on this recently and the answer (whether cut & paste one or not from some policy statement) was that only the child needs to reside in that address for the entire 30 months. There is nothing to oblige parents to do so. https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/home-...
