[Novena] Primary Schools

[MR06]

alng:

The schools are not accountable to those on the waitlist, especially when those on the waitlist are not even parents of the students in the schools. The schools just need to be accountable to MOE. So long MOE allows the schools to have the discretion as to who to admit when vacancies arise (and after the P1 registration), the schools need not be so transparent about how they select.


You are suggesting this because you might be on the waitlist. But put yourself in the shoes of the school principals and MOE, would you like to be so transparent until your hands are so tight up and others start to find fault in you? There is no one system that satisfy all parents. And this is a zero-sum game - when demand more than supply, one parent's happiness (get into the school) means another parent's disappointment (cannot get into the school).

I'm suggesting this for transparency and best practices sake. I'm definitely not going to be in the waitlist. Maybe you are? and perhaps contemplating to enter through some unconventional means? :skeptical:

But such transparency is not feasible at all if you put yourself in the shoes of the shoes and MOE. I have no chance to be on any waitlist now as my kids are all in schools. My dd is in SCGS via one of the most \"undesired mode\" - phase 2A1 - if that is your so-called unconventional mean.

You are still a student? Good to know you are definitely not going to be in the waitlist.

Oh so your dd entered because of your alumni status. It is the hottest category being discussed by parents.

I've definitely put my shoes in that of the principal and MOE.

When you act impartially and in good faith, there is nothing to hide. In fact, the suggestion protects the principal should she be approached by someone influential throwing her weight around her.

Nay, not in the waitlist, will cross path in SCGS.
