Don't flame me! I am just trying to let other parents know what I know..

:goodpost: because of such issue, paretns like us who's been staying here for decade not able to get in the sch which is 1-2km away though also under 2B, but to put the kid in further sch 5-6km away. Now headache for the logistic arrangement sigh...[/quote]

patlsy79...u not going for balloting?
I just did PV this morn..the AM said 1 vacancy left for those within 1 to 2 km

[BaconEgg]

Will there be a situation where the within 1km there are PRs? So the within 1km applicants drop? Or the published info already factor the Sporean/PRs etc within the 1Km applicants?

[patlsy79]

bagabunny, are you PV within 1km? if not, also risky for next yr…this yr result too unexpected for 1-2km. I dont want to go la as i know i wont be the lucky to strike that 1. the sch said not necessary to be present at balloting. So anything they will call the parents…hahah i dont want to waste my leave :p.

For all parents awaiting NCPS results, I have called the school and confirmed all SC within 1km no need to ballot. So balloting required for 1 to 2km.

Sharing my relief with all others who are within 1km, sincerely wishing all who need to ballot the best of luck Fully understand the anxiety!

:congrats:

Latest on MGS. All 41 applicants within 1 km have been accepted as two of them are twins. This is confirmed by MOE. What a great relief.

:congrats:

I have a confirmed place at Temasek and was wondering if i should try for a school at Tampines in phase 2c as we stayed here.


Actually it's not that far to travel to Temasek ( 20 min bus) just thought if walking distance nicer.

Any safe bet? Or better school?

We stay 1km to st hilda, poi ching and junyuan and 1-2km for the rest.

Sorry to say this but since you got a place in Temasek, maybe you can help consider for other anxious parents and kids..., coz if you try again at 2C at other schools, someone else might lose the chance. Another kid may succeed to get into a nearer school all thanks to you..Also already confirmed you should just relax liao.. Temasek good school also, alot others want to get in also cant..

So there... hope it doesnt offend you but i keep thinking of the other parents and kids do not have your privilege...who either wish to get into temasek or SH, PC or JY..

Hope you reconsider! :please:

Example:

10 vacancies, 8 SC, 3 PR, all within 1km

The 8 SC gets in without balloting. The 3 PR will have to ballot for the 2 remaining vacancies.

Actually, quixation, when parents withdraw and register, it is a zero sum gain. Other parents can benefit from place that has been vacated by the parent, and while this may increase competition at the other schools, it is done at a calculated risk that the parent must bear. So I think it is alright.
