winth:

Wow... Almost felt like how I felt just now. Was sweating while I was driving there too. Except that I'm on one-man-show.

Wow winth, think your experience is more \"kan zheong\" than mine... you're right, I was really sweating like a pig just now. But now we can sleep in peace.

Good luck to those who need to ballot, hope that all of you will get a place.

winth:

According to my time in my car, I reached outside RV at 1608, got into car at 1615, reached NT at 1625. Was driving at 80-90km/h, heng no TP following.


No lar, GES was out when I chose to withdraw at RVPS liao. Was actually hoping to squeeze in the balloting phase when there was still 1 vacancy left for >2km, got sms from school that balloting only for 1-2km. So decided to make a dash for it and end my nightmare.

Wow driving from River Valley to New Town Pri not that easy esp. NTPS have to enter through that small Tanglin Halt Road. Before you can get to NTPS, there is a zebra crossing where quite heavily utilse.

Wow can drive like F1 racer. :congrats: into NTPS.

Hi strawberrypie,


Can share how is the withdrawal method that you had this afternoon? Yr hubby withdraw at GESPS? Once ok then you fill up the form at ZDPS? Tstimate this process takes around 10 minutes?

Ha.ha maybe use this method if decided not to enrol my 2nd child into RMPS. Seem quite risky esp if the school intend to enroll is also popular. Eg withdraw from RMPS & enrol into CHIJ.

Wonderful:

Thank you kwcllf and raynreg, I wonder why the balloting exercise must be a week later... after the National Day... have to wait so long :?

Because next week the entire school need to prepare for NationalDay celebration. That why the balloting have to wait almost 10-11 days later.

National Day important meh :welcome:

Hi titank,

I called GESPS to ask what are the procedures and they told me that all I need to do was to return the form (you know the application form which you filled up and they gave you a carbon copy) to them. So what I did was beside the form, I also prepare a separate formal letter stating that I want to withdraw my child (just in case - you know lah, sometimes different people give different instructions). According to hubby, the school asked him to sign on the same form (I think there is a section for withdrawal) and that's it - all done. The minute the school said ok, withdrawal confirmed he called me.

I'm having the same issue - shd my no. 2 follow my no. 1 or shd I enrol her into CHIJ? Headache all over again...

Hi Strawberrypie,


Well our No.2 can safely go into the school as next time round we are in Phase 1. Ha.ha if really want to go into CHIJ (Kellock) usually 1Km or 1-2Km should be able to enter in Phase 2C. :lol:

Ha.ha I better plan strategy move if going to try CHIJ (Kellock) next time. This P1 2009 registration already so many unexpected happen.Future P1 registration would be getting tougher & tougher.
:stupid:

By the way ZDPS how many would be balloting? ZDPS already consecutive 2nd year having balloting at 1-2Km.

Hello all, I registered my girl at CHIJ Kellock yesterday. Luckily I’m on the 2km dot and thus no balloting required.


My second child is a boy… so I need to do more than just wait for PH2C if I want him to go RMPS.

Good luck to all who are awaiting balloting results!

Hi Maozai,

I maybe planning to send my No 2 to CHIJ (Kellock) next time. May I know how is the chance to get in at Phase 2C where my distance is 1-2 Km range?

I don't mind performing PV provided CHIJ (Kellock) do have this PV. Every year only have 200 places which is generally quite low compare to other pri schools in our Bt Merah area. :?:

hi

i was actually at st margs (i’m >2km) at 3pm to check out the no. however, the indian admin lady was so unfriendly as she refuse to give any figure since the day before (i was there also). std answer - dunno, hence no breakdown

was told 50% was >2km but only 11 places remaining aft am session. left at 3.30pm cos sure 2 hv ballot.

hv been monitoring chij as well as i’m <2km>2km hence rushed down 2 chij n reached here at 4.10pm. managed to reg at 4.30pm… there’s 1 more queuing behind me

think there will b balloting of 8 places out of 17 reg for >2km

crossing my fingers…
