Even if more than 2km away?
It boils down to numbers and stats. Eg. 3 students over 2km balloting for 2seats better than 40 students at 1km balloting for 20 seats. But it's a risk albeit a calculated one cos parents who take the trouble will find out the score tomorrow. -

Does phase2B consider distance category if need to ballot? If yes, how does it go about?
yes they do. The first 1km will ballot first. Then if there are still seats left for those outside 1km, they will let 1-2 km ballot next and >2 km will be last. -

No offence but with my brother, sister, me and my 2 nieces that study in hpps before. One of my niece just finish her PSLE last year. I personally find that hpps is a good & famous school, however, it might bring your kids to have stress mentally and physically. -

If as you said, do you mean that there will quota for each distance catergory? Or only ballot for one of the distance catergory?2snoopy:

No, balloting is not like that. Let's say a school has 50 seats now. Then let's say there are 25 pple <1km, 30 pple 1-2km and 10 pple >2km.
The 25 <1km will not need to ballot.
-> 50 seats - 25 = 25 seats left.
The 30 pple within 1-2km must then ballot for the 25 seats left.
Before the end of this phase, the sch will notify the 10 pple who are >2km to withdraw their applications coz they can't get to ballot at all. They have to apply elsewhere. That's why distance is so important. -

yes they do. The first 1km will ballot first. Then if there are still seats left for those outside 1km, they will let 1-2 km ballot next and >2 km will be last.
eg. 100 seats only. But 150 ppl applied.
Out of which only 20 live within 1 km.
The remaining is 90 within 1-2 km.
The rest of the 40 is outside 2km.
So first thing first, the 20 who live within 1 km will safely secure the places in the school.
Now left with those who live outside 1 km. Then they will look at the 90 people who live within 1-2 km from the school. But after the first 20 has been taken up, there left only 80 seats. This means the 90 ppl have to ballot for the 80 seats.
After this ballot, all the 100 seats will be taken up. There left no chance for those living outside 2 km to even ballot.
phew! I sound like presenting a Maths problem sum question. :rotflmao: -

If you think this is bad, wait till your child encounters the \"chicken feet\" maths problem in Pri 2.
