      Sadly I'm not lucky. Didn't get in.

      Now that I saw how the balloting is done I must comment
      The person who spins the metal cage must really spin hard n fast!
      The person who spin our cage, gosh. Was so tender with the cage that the ball merely stayed at the bottom swaying side to side. So the balls never jumped or changed position to move about so that the metal cup can scoop the ball up.

      Gosh.
      So sorry to hear about this. Do you have a plan B?

        Hi Ryes,

        It's like that for my 2B balloting also. In the end out of the 28 balls in the cage those in the centre nos ( 10-20 ) had about 8 balls drawn out . There are altoghter 15 balls that are drawn. The balls are put in sequentially starting from no. 1 till 28 and the person who do the turn do it so gently that it is always the centre batch that went to the metal cup. I didn't think much about it till you mention and I now realize that that could be the reason why a higher proportion of the balls are in the middle batch. In my balloting

            You should have complained on the spot immediately, there and then !

            Cannot turn the cage so slow as though hardly turn, balls hardly move.

            Ryes, Go and fill up transfer application form, submit to school.

            All those who are balloting in the afternoon :-
            if any of you feel that something not right, arrest the situation and complain immediately ! Must make sure that whoever turn the toto cage - make sure each & every ball has a chance to move, to be rotated !
            Hi Phtthp

            i was told by the sch, we are only able to submit transfer form after we secure a confirmed seat in another sch, it's not immediately thingy they said... 🙂

              Hi wanderlust


              Yes. Ur logic is correct and I had only 10 chances.
              And yes again the middle range is the highest number called.
              Out of 10, 8 were 11-20. And of course I’m in this range too
              And maybe its just me. I didn’t get in as am complaining.

              But it’s really true as the balls were put in 1 number after another.
              So mid range were in the center where the cup can easily scoop the ball

              I wanted to raise my opinion, but held back. Can’t cry over spilt milk now.

              Thanks all. Now have to think alternative.
              Have filled up wait list but chances are minimal. Who will want transfer their child out.

                  My kids' school had balloting for those in the within 1 km category. By June, we already saw a number of new students (meaning some students withdrew from the school, opening up vacancies for students in the waitlist). So, have hope! :rahrah:

                    ryes,


                    Now that P2C is over, you can also fill up the waitlist for the other school that you were considering.

                    It’s ok to put in more than 1 waitlist.
