:scared: Can I check if anyone has the stats between 2A1 and 2A2 for aitong?


With only 83 places left for 2A2, not sure if aitong may need to ballot in P2A2. In fact, this year figure seems to be totally not in line with past few years, also don't know how to predict. :scared:

I was looking for that information, but not sure where to obtain that. So last year, I pay to join the Alumni in order to get 2A1. Relieve me of the stress.
The way I see, by phase 2B, Ai Tong will need ballot.

last year (2012) Ai Tong

phase 2A(1) : 60 registered

phase 2A(2) : 80 registered

refer :-
http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?p=801492

this year (2013) :-
Phase 2a(1) : 76 registered

83 seats left

http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=435&start=1520

if phase 2A(2) applicants exceed 83 on 16 July -
Ai Tong will ballot, under 2A(2).

Question :-
Will all entire 83 seats be used up for 2a(2) balloting, or will moe intervene in time -
To apportion some seats (out of 83) - for phase 2b and 2c ?

Oh, st hildas already take up 60%.


If I register under phase 2B, staying within 1 KM, will balloting occur?

When the take up rate was at 72% in 2011, balloting was for 1-2km under P2B.

You will have to wait and see if take up rate will exceed 72% by P2A2 and the numbers applying under P2B who live within 1km.

Interesting point. Will MOE apportion some vacancy for 2B and 2C? In doing so, 2A2 will need to go ballot. Was there any similar situation happened previously?

Me too. Joined alumni to play safe... figures look scary. May be first time since few years back that need balloting for 2A2. Scary....

I also wonder. But I’m wondering for either Nan Hua Pri or Fairfield Methodist Pri. Cos these 2 Schs have exceptionally high rates this year for enrollment. So much so it’s hard to predict, and also worried phrase 2B might not even happen too if all are taken up given so many piggies this yr. Wonder if I can call MOE tmr to find out.

From MOE website:


Documents to Show Eligibility for Phase 2A(2):
Relevant documents certifying the status (e.g. staff or former student of the primary school) of the parent or the sibling and also the birth certificate of the sibling must be provided.

What is the document to certifying the Sibling's status of former student of the targeted primary school? His PSLE certificate is ok?

Yes, that should be good enough.

Thank you for the reply.

It will not happen. The rules clearly state that distance priority and balloting will kick in the moment demand exceed vacancies in any Phase after Phase 1. Since nothing was reserved from Phase 2A, nothing will remain for subsequent Phases if balloting occurs at Phase 2A.

I don't think MOE sees this as a problem at all, since the problem is constrained only to a small subset of schools that are irrationally seen as \"top schools\" by parents. To MOE, all schools are good schools and there are more than enough vacancies around, so parents shouldn't be fighting tooth and nail over any specific one.
