Need to know how many seats vs how many applied under Phase 2C leh.

Sad to know there's balloting <1km, same in year 2008...

Yes. This is what the school admin told me over the phone. Did you all not receive calls from the school regarding the ballot ? I got a call from the school yesterday… They also told me they will pick 91 names from the ballot box and not just draw 6 names to disqualify.

Wow, so 'cruel'. This approach will lengthen the whole 'lucky draw' process... create longer suspend for those yet to draw but at least, those whose names are called will be happy (many happy faces)... if draw those to miss a place first, those whose names called will or :x or :stupid: or face black black... not too nice to see... those whose names not called also cannot express too much joy... sigh... either way is tough...

I guess this is done on purpose.

If they draw any twins in the middle of the process, those twins will take up 2 places instead of 1. So they only have to draw 90 names rather than 91....meaning 7 unhappy parents, not 6.

On the other hand, if they just draw 6 to disqualify, then subsequently found out that there are twins/triplets among the lucky ones, they will end up with too many students then they intend to accept.

HPPS increased their total intake from original of 330 to 332 last year under 2C when there were 55 applicants for 53 places under 2C, all within 1km. No balloting was conducted as there were a pair of twins and triplets among them.

Actually I asked the school admin this. Since there are 7 classes and 6 more applicants than vacancies, why can't each class just take 1 more student. As you can guess, the answer is no. If only MOE could make a concession, it would spare a lot of parents a great deal of anxiety.
