Thanks for all the advice. Guess I can only pray and wait.. sigh

Dear piglet18,

Just read that you'll be balloting at MCS? I hope you can get in! I've a friend trying too! Will be praying for both of you and hope your gals can join the MCS family too!

Have you found out what are the odds for MCS?

Hi LIL_Jade, your friend decided to try their luck at MCS for phase 2C sup?
I do wish her good luck for next Tuesday balloting.
Please please please please inform her to speak up IF she notices the spinner doesnt spin the cage such that the balls inside jumble or move about instead of swaying left right monotonously.

This is because the scoop attached to the cage, WILL only scoop in higher probability of what is in the center portion. So if her ball is to the side, then lower probability to get scooped up.

dear parents, between bt timah pri, cantonment pri and new town pri, which will u choose if you have to? Just in case I get balloted out again next tue…thanks!

[phtthp]

Yes, paper safer. They can always swirl or shake the box around, turn box upside down, shake real hard !


Balls not safe, unless spinner can control movement of balls rolling around properly.

You are already in phase 2c supp.
Ask yrself -
Amongst 3 schools, in your balloting distance range -
Which school has the lowest competitive edge ?
Examine - out of every x kids who participate in ballot, hiw many will be in ?
Take the one that has the lowest competition.

At same time, after this week balloting over, fill up transfer form, put yr kid on waitlist, in that school you desire most, out if these 3.

Hi phtthp,

But when the MOE makes decision on the 3 schools, is it based on distance? That is, the applicant that's the nearest will get it first or something? I'm sure there'll be fierce fighting even in this post - 2CS phase?

Yup, she's going to try again at MCS! Will advise her to watch out during the balloting, thanks!!

Hi piglet18,

I sincerely hope you'll never have to fill up any 3 schools cos you'll be happily balloted into MCS!

Nevertheless, my friend is also preparing a \"just in case\" list and she shortlisted pei tong primary and stamford primary as she stays in central area, so these are much closer. I'm not sure about whether these schools are strongly recommended but I think all schools are good so it's really the environment around the school that you'll want to check out, and the transport etc? Which area do you stay?

As for Bt Timah primary, she's uncertain cos only 1 place left so does it go to the parent who lives the nearest? Would it mean a wasted 1 option of the 3 options if she puts it down? What do you think?

Hi mummies & daddies,


Does anyone knows the balloting statistics for Maris Stella High (MSH) in Phase 2C this year?

I know that SC 1 - 2 km needs balloting, but dun know the number.

I think MSH has 75 vancancies for Phase 2C this year right?
