Phase-by-Phase Strategy
Sibling
Sibling enrolled at Red Swastika = guaranteed Phase 1 admission. The school is a SAP school with strong Chinese language and cultural emphasis.
Alumni
Red Swastika has a strong Buddhist-affiliated alumni community in the Bedok area. Former students can register under Phase 2A. The school's unique Buddhist heritage creates a dedicated alumni network.
Buddhist Federation
Red Swastika's unique Phase 2B advantage is the Singapore Buddhist Federation endorsement. This is a less crowded path than SHHK or Catholic routes — fewer Buddhist-affiliated schools compete for the same endorsements. Active members of Buddhist organizations may receive Phase 2B priority. PV slots also available.

Key Dates

Prices are medians of URA caveats — resale and sub-sale only, new launches excluded. "2BR"/"3BR" are floor areas (500–800 / 800–1,200 sq ft), not bedroom counts. Condo rents are URA's median rent per square foot per month (psf/mo) — a rate, not a monthly total. URA publishes no landed rents, so those cells stay blank. "—" means URA has no figure for that project: too few recent sales in that size band, or none at all.
Condo prices are medians of URA caveats — resale and sub-sale only, new launches excluded (window Sep 2024 – Sep 2026); condo rents are URA's median rent per square foot per month (2026 Q2). "—" means no figure is published for that row: too few records to quote one, or none at all. HDB figures in the within-1km tables are medians of data.gov.sg HDB resale registrations over the last 24 months and HDB's published median rent by town and flat type.
