lele mummy:
Hi just received confirmation letter from RGPS today that orientation is on Jan 4. Just curious why would someone want to withdraw from the ballot when she has no chance to register in another school until P2C Supp?I'm new here. My daughter lele has got a place in RGPS yesterday, joining P1 next year (2014).
We are lucky as initially there are 6 of us balloting for 5 seats in P2C, residing with 1-2km. However, 1 withdrew yesterday at 4pm, thus we got called up and being told today's balloting is cancelled.
Anyone in this forum has daughter going P1 next year in RSPS? -

Is from phase 1 / 2a, or is it from phase 2c (one of the 6 sc, inside 1 to 2 km)? -

The temporary holding site for RGPS is too far perhaps?

Kudos to the parent who withdrew so that 2C does not have to ballot!
Other possibilities are :
- The sch is not suitable for their DD academically.
- they hv a DS n decided to go for co-ed after 2nd thots (BTPS?
)
- they are moving to a villa in Iskandar n hv a place at Marlborough College
Whatever the case, it is a conscientious n responsible decision.

My guess is this girl secured a place thru waitlist after P2B in a nearby Sch due to some withdrawal from earlier phase. eg. NYPS, MGS or SCGS.

I'm not sure if that is even possible. All places from withdrawals in earlier Phases have to be thrown into the pool for the current Phase. Wait lists cannot kick in until the entire P1 registration process, ie. after Phase 3 is over. Otherwise, it violates the \"only 1 registration in 1 school at any time\" rule. -
Another possibility is :-
This parent has just accepted an offer to transfer older sibling to another popular school, and the principal also allow the younger sibling priority to come in, not by the normal phase 2c route, but a "reserved" seat, ie. Be patient wait until p1 regn end first - then, it will be entirely up to the principal discretion who she want to give seat too. No longer bound under the rules & reg of p1 regn.
Because if her child get balloted into RGPS - get a place, and later withdraw, it won’t be nice. Is not nice to get a place in 2c, and then withdraw. RGPS will remember you. Might as well be a heroine, be a savior to the 6 sc in 1 to 2 km. parents will be thankful & grateful to her thoughtful, considerate, unselfish act. -

If I am not wrong, no such procedure is allowed during p1 registration.

You are correct, in saying -
No such thing allowed \"during\" p1 regn, as process is transparent.
But the moment it end, people can fill up transfer request form(s).
Principal has the power and authority, who she want to give priority to, for admission, \"behind closed doors\", process no longer transparent.
