In 2025, no ballot was needed in Phase 2C and citizens living within 1 km got places.

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 (190 places). Past years may understate your chances in 2C.
