it will be a more heated competition in 2C as compared to 2B...with everyone within 1km wanting to try their luck for only 27 places. and imagine to have to go thr the stress & sleepless nights all over again.

It seem announcement of results in Phase 2C would only on 14 August 09.
Like that National Day how to celebrate?

Huh? Thot it's 11 Aug? That's published in MOE site.

hi, tell me about it…

I live within 1km from CH but already planning for contingency - Townsville in Phase 2C

smurf:

agree. Aitong is a definite choice if u want an almost guaranteed place in 2B.


Hi dreammom and morriselma,

are you a Catholic or PV?? :?

We are catholics

Hi oncogene, my advice to you is to call the school to check the nos. of registeration first and judge yr chances before making the decision. Also check the balloting history of Townsville in phase 2C on the chances as if you r living within 1Km of CHS, i guess you will be within 1-2km or outside 2km of townsville. Just a tot…why Kuo chuan not yr 2nd choice instead? Townsville’s results has been going downhill and if u r considering school in AMK, even Anderson Primary is a much better choice.

Heard that Ai Tong will be moving to a temp location for upgrading. Is it true and when?

No such thing lah. They upgraded some years back and completed an indoor sorts facility a few months ago.

Hi, I’m new to this forum and in phase 2C registration for my son. I’m within 1-2 km to Aitong. I cant decide whether I want to try for Aitong as I might not get a chance to ballot. 'cos past years balloting for phase 2C was only for those within 1 km.

Can anyone out there give me some advice if I should try Aitong??
Thanks for your time!

Judging from the just concluded phase 2B registration, I don't think you would even have the chance to register, i.e. balloting is likely to occur again for those staying within 1km.

Would suggest that you monitor the situation for the first 2 days of phase 2C registration and at the same time think of a 2nd choice school to register, if you have not already done so.

Cheers....

Will monitor the situation. Just a thought the birth rate 2003: 37485 compared to previous 3 yrs (2000: 46997, 2001: 41451, 2002: 40760) was much lesser. Wishfull thinking on my part that I might have 0.1 chance of getting balloting within 1-2km…dreaming lo. To be realistic, I cannot decide the contigency plan of 2nd choice sch. What neighbour (AMK/Bishan) sch do u suggest?

I agree with Tulip. Even if by some rare chance that Aitong is balloting for 1-2km this year, the competition would be very great. U have to gauge on the last day of 2C of ur chances.

Thanks Tulip and Luanee…


Going thru the statistic…changes are very very slim…
Any suggestions for 2nd choice as I’m quite lost.
Not very familiar with this neighbourhood schs.
