P1 2010 Registration: Phase 2C Vacancies

The phase 2C stage of Primary 1 registration for 2010 intake has been completed yesterday. Most of the popular schools had to choose children by balloting, as there had been overwhelming response for certain schools. While you could see happy faces of parents who got their children enrolled, we could see many sad faces who were not lucky enough to get a seat in their preferred school.

This leads us to the next stage of the Primary 1 registration called Phase 2C Supplementary. The parents who were unsuccessful in securing a seat during the phase 2C stage can now submit their application for another school under the phase 2C supplementary stage. The registration will be on 14 August 2009 and the results will be made known to the parents on 19 August 2009.

You can visit the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) official website to find the latest information about the available schools in your area. We understand the following schools have seats available under the Phase 2C supplementary (Please check the respective schools/ MOE for the latest information and for full list of schools with vacancies.
