LikelyModel estimate · ~89%

In 2025, citizens living within 1 km balloted in Phase 2C: 66 places for 74 children (about 89%).

Based on how the phase went last time; demand changes every year. You can only register in a phase your child is eligible for, and in one school per phase.

Places left for each phase after the earlier ones; MOE doesn't publish Phase 1 applicant numbers. The 2025 exercise was for children starting P1 in 2026.

2027 rule change: Phase 2C reserved places rise from 40 to 60 at schools with 180 or more P1 places, including this one (240 places). Past years may understate your chances in 2C. This school is also one of 12 with a Two-Track Phase 2C: half the places for children within 2 km, half for those beyond, with no distance priority inside each track — so past distance patterns won't carry over.
