Is it advisable to witness it?

My time was a big 'fishtank' bowl with the boys' name thrown in. I heard subsequent years used a numbered bl.. Macham like toto machine (not sure if all schools used that though).

Thk it's ok to go down but I would advise u not to bring your kid down. They will not be able to comprehend 'why didn't I get in' shd the unfortunate happen. If possible, I would also advise you not to tell the kid abt his 'potential' primary school until you get it. It really is quite heartbreaking (I feel) at the point in time (at the ballot) shd the kid's name not be selected.

better don’t bring child down, for balloting.


balloting in itself is already stressful.
bring a child down, wait got to explain to child why didn’t get in, add to further unnecessary stress.

you can always bring yr child down on actual P1 orientation day itself

I am not sure if I can to take the stress of not being picked. My boy wish to join his peers in the same sch. But we don't stay near to the sch... So into ballot phase...

[quote=\"ji_linda\"]Just checked from moe website aitong got 37 registered for 31 vacancies. When I gave up p2b for aitong and rushed back to catholic high at 3:45pm today, 7 staying outside 2 km registered. Means those 30 applicants staying within 2 km will get the seats for sure. Feel very regretful as I also stay within 2km. If I have registered I will get a seat also !!! Now need to ballot for Catholic high this Friday... Crying.....

Oh dear. Be strong... What's done can't be undone. I wouldn't be able to comprehend the regrets you are going through. I can only hope that you find courage to overcome what lies ahead.

Thank you dear. I feel so bad because I also have a little daughter. If I can register her brother in ATS this year, I don't need to go thru this stressful process once again... Anyway I will try to stay positive. Start to pray for Friday's battle :-)[/quote]
