Hi,


My son will be P1 in ZDPS next year. Anyone out there with kids going P1 at ZDPS ?

Hi,
My son will also be going to P1 at ZDPS next yr. I'm new to this forum. Accidentially found out abt this website a few days before the 2C registration phase. Found it to be very good. Didn't know that I'm not the only parent facing problems choosing betwen RV and ZD. Had initially registered in RV but withdrawed my application at 4.15 pm and registered at ZD cos didn't want to go thru the torture of having to ballot and stressed up again. Look forward to sharing more information with parents whose kid will be going to ZD next yr. :celebrate:

Hi nottiepig2009,

Were you the one staying at Jalan Bukit Merah and were at ZD to monitor the situation while your sister was at RV to monitor for you and it was your friend who drove you to ZD? Because when I was at ZD waiting for my turn, I met a lady who was in the same situation as what you described above.

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.

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...

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.

Came back from ZD about 30 mins ago. Yippee… I got myself a place. It was the most nerve-wrecking moments. Hubby dropped me off at about 3.45pm while he went to GES to withdraw our application. While at ZD, the teachers refused to let me even fill in the forms while hubby was in the process of withdrawing. Waited till hubby called to confirm withdrawal at about 4.15pm then I was allowed to fill in the forms. After that I waited for them to close the registration and do a final summary, then I was told that I’m safe and I got a place at 4.45pm. That moment was like a big big stone off my chest. OMG… I can finally sleep peacefully tonight.


I think the latest when I left the school is about 109 within 1km. Must ballot for those between 1 and 2km.

Hi Titank,


I shd think I’m still safe for ZD for within 1km, what I’m afraid that there will be a sudden increase of applicants tomorrow afternoon. But on the other hand, I shd think that most people would have registered by Day 1.

I don’t think I’ll try for RM. Look at the no. of applicants vs the no. vacanies. I thought I read somewhere that there were more than 60 applicants staying within 1km registered in Day 1. I think I’ll give up RM. But I’m definitely keen in ZD.

Looking at ZD’s situation, shd I give up my place at GES and try to get into ZD? I intend to go tomorrow afternoon. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks Titank, for your patience in answering my questions. Really appreciate all your advise.

Thank you very much for your detailed advise Titank, really appreciate it. I guess it’s no use rushing through my decision at this moment, I’ll monitor the vacanies for both RMPS and ZDPS then proceed from there. Sorry more questions, I read from the previous threads and also your advise that it is better to go on the last day, why is that so? If I go on the 2nd day, I guess no difference as it’s not 1st come 1st serve, right?

Thanks Titank. So if there’s balloting, how shd I proceed from there? Sorry, it’s confusing at this stage?
