Hi just to confirm - phase 2C registration is on 30, 31 July and 1 Aug. Is it true that in past years, most parents only register on the last day to gauge the number of children registered? If so, I am applying leave on 1 Aug. Pls advise, thanks!

For popular schools, I believe there will be a mad rush on day 3 because many are taking this tactic too.

Usually the \"peak hours\" are first day morning and last day afternoon.

If you are registering in popular school, you might want to apply leave to attend the ballot session too.

Attendance at ballot session is not compulsory. But most parents would want to be there to witness the process and know the result immediately.

Hi, I'm under 2c but within 1-2km do u think chances of getting gongshang or chongzheng gd...

Due to the mother tongue offered, chongzheng will have more applicants compared to gongshang.
You may want to monitor the situation and register on the last day since both are within 1-2km. Backup plan yumin primary in P2Csupp.

Yup not compulsory[/quote]Being my 1st kid registering in P1, i have a bit of personal sharing here.... BUT IT IS MOST EXCITING TO BE THERE!!
I was not feeling the pressure before reaching the school for my boy's balloting in 2B yesterday in TNS. My GOSH!! There were so many parents attending it! The suspense of the ballot was overwhelming.. hahaha.. All mixed emotions thruout the whole process of balloting.. Happiness and disappointment...
I am glad mine is over...
All the best of luck to all parents! :xedfingers:

Sometimes, pressure is given by parents. Usually children adapt quite well. As long as good habits of doing homework and focusing in class are cultivated, it shouldn't be a problem to survive in any school. :celebrate:

Oh My Gosh:

Unlike the other schools for this year registration, for TNS, the phase 2B is not so \"hot\" as compared to its prior years. Historically, the average is about 90-100+ applicants fighting for 60+ vacancies (within 1 km). Guess partly due to the fact that it is going to shift to the temporary premises for 2014-2015. It may be lukewarm for phase 2C too - good news for parents whom are aiming for phase 2C.

where is it shifting to???! :scratchhead:

Your \"Oh my gosh\" is just your nervous feelings or calling for me... hahaha :)? Anyway, congrats for getting into TNS.

Can share on \"How to cultivate the good habit of focusing in class?\" This is the pressure I am facing!
