Hi Rena,

Hi Rena,
Thks for the info !! In the website, it says P1 to P3 students n parents will join in.

Rena, Sumoon : u'll be going for the gesps open hse ?
lill : what abt u ? Does your son (P1) need to do something for the open hse too ?

lill:

For everyone's info : GESP is having balloting for 1-2km; 30 applicants for 15 vacancies.

Thks Lill & Sumoon for the info !! Which means there are 25 applicants within 1 km.

Hooray !! The search for a primary school is over !!! :rahrah:

Sumoon & Bagukan, congrats to u too !!!!

sumoon:

Hi,

Atleast GESPS staffs can tell the approximate figures, but QPS, they are keep on saying \" we are still having vacancies\".

Sumoon, I think QPS is trying to say that as at now, no balloting for all who applied so far.

qms:

Chipmunks,

Here's :rahrah: to you!

Is your house considered within 1 km from GESPS?

qms, thks for being so supportive !! And yes,I'm within 1 km from GESPS, based on my new yet-to-be occupied home addr !!!! :celebrate:

Sumoon, I also agree that GESPS is pretty quiet about the stats of applicants for today. I'm really glad to hear that only 20+ within 1 km applied for GESPS. Was still praying very hard last nite and preparing for the worst . Let's hope this figure stays and both our children can get in !!!

Titank, anymore latest update from ur spy @ GESPS ? :?:

Bakugan : did u call back BR to ask for updates ?

titank:

qms:

Wonder how is Chipmunks? :?

Ya that time in Phase 2C Chipmunks also \"No Sound No Picture\".
Maybe Chipmunks is engaging some serious evaluation. :?

Titank, u all r so so active in the forum that each time I log on to the forum, I need some time to read the postings. By then, whatever news I have is history already .... In fact, this thread is the most active with more than 70 pages !!!!

Yes, am also engaging serious evaluation, if cannot get into GESPS, then my next choice might be QPS.

Yes, I went to reg at GESPS this morning. Near to noon time, the no. of applicants hit 58, my number was 36.

Titank, is your spy working at GESPS ? Near to 2pm just now, I called GESPS but they unable to tell me no. of people within 1 km, just told me people outside 2km have to ballot.

All the best to us reg in phase 2C supp, and really appreciate all your encouragement & support.. :celebrate:

Hi Chipmunks & Bakugan


I enrol my DS at GESP under P2C. I don't think the sch is that bad...

YMCA student care - there are only abt 15 vacancy . I received the confirmation letter from the sch last week. The student care required to see this confirmation letter. I went to regisitration this morning and there are quite a no of parents going for registration too.

Thks all for the well wishes !

Rena - is GESPS having afternoon sessions for P1 & P2 ? P3 - P6 all morning sessions ?

Bakugan:

In any case, we were the unfortunate 30 who failed at RMPS.
I feel for the parent whom qms mentioned abt \"living so near that he can throw his kid to school\" cz I too live v near.
But it's too late for stuff like that anymore...
I think the advice given here is the logical thing to do.
GESP first then BRPS (no offence to BRPS entrants).

But somehow it just burdens me that DS will be \"suffering\" the consequences of my decision and action for the next 6yrs

As for the rest of us who failed at Phase 2C, let's brace up for the next heart challenge on 19 Aug! :!:

Thanks everyone.

QMS, Bakugan, I'm one of the unfortunate 30s who failed at RMPS too. No point for me to look back and regretting not doing PV for RM last year, or even reg at RV in P2A2 or CHIJ at P2C. Will be going to reg at GES this Fri, as GES is opposite my in-law's block. Hopefully this time round, can get into GES.

Good luck to the rest of us going for P2C supp.

QMS, Congratulations to u !!! Too bad our children can't be in the same school. Guess your ds will be the tallest in school. I remember he asked if my Q no was 99 or 66 then..

titank:

QMS, Rene & Chipmunks,

Never heard from you all liao! Are you all in the balloting list in RMPS or heading to register at GESPS?

Titank, I just posted on 29 Jul, went to reg at RM in the morning. Just saw from moe website that the no. of vacancies for RM is now 64 (1 back out ?) :celebrate:, but looks like sure to ballot for those within 1 km still.

QMS & Rene,
u all going for RM, RV or GES ?

titank:

QMS, Chipmunks & Rene,


All heading to RMPS yeah? 60+ register in AM seem very shocking news.

Ya, went to reg RM tis morning. Thought I was very early at 8:45am, but my Q no was already 66 !! :!:

There were 4 stations to go thru & the whole process took 1 hr as there were many people reg at the same time. They will conduct the balloting for phase 2C on 10 Aug internally & the results will be announced on 11 Aug.

When I asked the different counters how we will be notified of the results, I had different answers : school will call u, check out the sch website on 11 Aug am, check out the Teletext, check out MOE website, sch will post results to u. Wondering why they don't sms to parents the results on 11 Aug :?

When I left an hour later, the Q no already hit 100 !!! :faint:

Didn't check with them the no. of applicants for each home-distance range but got a strong feeling that balloting will be conducted for those within 1 km...
