Getting into a local school is a fish of a different sort. There, they are given priorities based on Citizenship and distance from the school and a sort of "old boy" network. In other words, Kiasu parents will move to be within 1 km of the school that they desire about a year or two before the child even attains school age. Then the parents will volunteer their time at the school building up a store of "brownie points" as it were. Usually the "better" schools (and I use that term loosely) are filled on the first ballot. If not, then on the second ballot Citizens who live within 2 km are given the next choice. From there, if any places left, on the 3rd Ballot PRs & others are given a chance for the remaining seats with PRs taking precedence over foreigners on DPs.
