All About Primary Schools' Balloting History
-
cmyesther:
My friend who registered her gal at \"hot\" school (neighbourhood) at Phase 2C. She mentioned that those >1km were rejected immediately. No chance to register at all.
They know for sure that balloting will take place only for <1km. So if they allow your friend to register knowing that she totally has ZERO chance in getting a place i.e. ZERO chance in balloting even... now that is MEAN. At least now she can use her chance in Phase 2C more fruitfully.
And I would strongly suggest you ask your friend to join KSP so that she can view the school P1 registration histories.

They think MPs are angels.
not angel, they think MP is God (whatever denomination also can) :stupid: :stupid:
Agree. Then there are those who don't do homework and assume that just becos school is downstairs so they can get in. Yet another source of PHD -

Parents bochap, die die want to put child in HOT school, bcos of face value ? If can't get in, ask MP to write letter. Supposing the child gets into 'HOT' school through luck, then what next ?Ignorant plus stubborn.. so I've decided not to get a PHD (permanent head damage from all the :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: ) because of this guy.
What makes me so :x is becoz I really pity his kiddo.. parents simply bo chap no preparation no nothing but wanna 'throw' him into 'HOT' school.. I sure hope his kiddo will not suffer...

Yet another source of PHD[/quote]then i must be those PHD 3 yrs back. i didn't even know BPPS is so hot until i chanced up a ghost-town-forum named Kiasuparent; i thought, nearest sch to my place, sure can go in de....:roll:
seriously, a lot of upcoming hot schs like Unity, or even BPPS or PEPS where balloting are within 1km are schools located in the heartlands where bread and butter issues concern certain lower income groups; surely these people dont have the time and energy to go do research on P1 registration or know anything about balloting.... -

Looking at the statistics this year, I counted that most of the hot schools have become much hotter. In phase 2B alone, a lot of balloting has to take place, even for those <1km. Based on live birth data for the past few years, 2004 is the lowest. So obviously, the increase has been due to new citizens and PRs. Why didn't the schools try to increase the intake? I am seriously hoping that MOE recognises the problem and at least try to ask the schools to increase their capacity if possible, by hiring more staffs if the physical space permit for more classrooms. Thinking further ahead, with this jump in intake, is it possible that the transition to single-session schools be postponed?There has been an increase of projects around HOT schools, as well as parents moving within 1km...also an increase in PRs too. Staying within 1km is safer, but still not guaranteed. All the best to you parents registering under 2C.

the schools are actually - many of them - reducing intake due the requirement to implement single session school and the smaller class size of 30 pupils each class up to Pri 2 -
They probably have plans to reduce intake in the near future, but looking at the enrolment data for this year, most of them have the same vacancies or more.
-
It seems more schools (those popular ones) are filling up their places earlier ie. before reaching 2C.
-
the sky is dark and gloomy, it is drizzling wet, depressing, and it is a day best forgotten - for those who lacked the luck in the balloting for phase 2B today.
you have my sympathies
BUT never mind, hold your chin high up, tomorrow will be better, all will work out well for the kid’s schooling for the next 6 years. Have faith and hope !
