[cheesycake]

Hi, anyone can advise. If a school has 70 seats in Phase 2c and there are 60 SC applied n 20 PRs. All 60 SC regardless of distance will get priority to enter first n take up 60 seats. The remaining 10 seats will be given to the 20 pr thru balloting?


Thanks

Yes, SC is given absolute priority so the 60 SC will get in first than 20 PR will ballot for the remaining 10 places assuming they are all within 1km else priority is given based on distance ie <1km, 1-2km and >2km

Yup all 60 SCs will go in.

The 20 PRs will be subjected to the distance rule. If all within 1km then balloting for the 20PRs, if some within 1km, 1-2km and >2km then the number of PRs at each distance will determine at which distance balloting will be conducted.

all 60 SC will take up the places first, then the remaining 10 will be allocated out to the remaining 20 PR based on distance, if within a distance, there are more PR than place, then ballot within that distance.

I thought Phase 2b and Phase 2C suppose to have 50% in each. 2 girls’ schools have more seats allocated to 2B than 2C that caught my attention. How could that be?

Can I ask everyone here, the balloting for all school is drawing balls with those bingo/toto machines?

Pv balloting was only a big bowl with all the paper number folded and first number drawn by staff then winner draw the next and so on…

omo…if by machine is sooo scary…I am having doubts now…

Is it extra by 1?

If after P2A2, the vacancies left is 23, then P2B will have 12 and P2C will have 11.

Likewise acsp has 26 successful applicants and no of vacancies in phase 2c has been reduced by 2 to 22.

I strongly believe that if the school decides to take in the extras in phase 2b, these ectras shouldn't be taken from phase 2c.

If there is any withdrawal from earlier phases successful applicants after the 50 : 50 split is done, the vacated places will go into current phase

Just thinking aloud here. Looking at the P2B Schools Conducting Balloting, I've noticed the following comments for the following schools,


\"The school has places for only SC children residing within 1km of the school. No balloting will be conducted.\"

The schools being, ACSJ (47/73), ACSP (24/31), Hong Wen (51/72), Kong Hwa (41/46), MGSP (40/57), SCGSP (22/23). ie. Name of school (2B vacancies/No. of children registered 2B).

Apart from Kong Hwa and SCGSP, the number of children registered for the schools mentioned far outnumbers the number of 2B vacancies. I find it interesting that the exact number accepted equals the exact number of SC within 1km. I'm guessing that this is only possible if the applicant (SC/PR) has the exact status of the registration numbers (including breakdown of SC, PR, Distance information) close to the closing of 2B on 23 Jul late afternoon and hence registers accordingly.

Somehow, the numbers seem too \"exact\" imho. Perhaps I'm missing something here.

Just curious. Tks.

Hello,

Just adding to sembgal's comments. I've replicated my earlier post to facilitate referencing some of the vacancy numbers at end P2B (late 23 Jul).

Looking at MGPS:
At end P2B, 40 vacancies, 57 applied. All SC (1km) accepted. Vacancies at start of P2C, 41 enrolled (P2B) and 38 vacancies (P2C). I would think that at the start of P2B, vacancies would have been 40 (P2B) and 40 (P2C). Even if 1 pair of twins were enrolled at P2B, there should be 39 (40 minus 1) vacancies for P2C instead of 38. Note: There was no balloting for MGPS for P2B. As such, there would not have been the possibility that the last \"ball\" was a \"twin\" ball.

Still trying to understand how the system works. Tks.
