So what is the balloting process like? They will call out all names before putting all the number ball in? Like how do I know if my child name is confirm in it?

I have been reading this web site ever since my child was born 6 years ago。


I often wondered how I would feel when it is my child"s turn to register this year. Now I know - incredible stress !

I have no connection whatsoever to the popular schools. However I live within one km of a popular school.

I could have registered in phase 2B - I was asked if I wanted to join as a grassroots leader , but I declined. I could also have joined the church/ clan, which I briefly did, only to drop out as I just did not have the conviction to go thru with it.

In the end, as I did not have the conviction to join any of the
Interest groups, I relied solely on phase 2c , fervently hoping that my being within one km would be enough.

When this year’s registration started, I began to feel guilty towards my child. I should have just stayed with the interest groups, and apply via 2b.

Today, I took leave the whole day, just reading and refreshing this forum. My tablet must have been broken by now!

I want to thank everyone for making this such a great forum and for sharing. You guys are the best!

Tonight, I am going to watch my child sleep, and hug and kiss my little one. Like all parents, my child means everything to me. This is only the beginning of a life long journey of learning. It has been quite a day!

Jia you mommy! I’m also at the same league, feel quilty for not doing more for my daughter

you have a lifetime to do more for your child. Primary school is nothing if you are aware of what being a parent is.
Some regret putting their child into competitive school making their child break both emotionally and academically.

parenting is not just about primary school.
as it is, there is no childhood to enjoy.
it is a very long journey and primary school now is no walk in the park.

Janet has her view, but I don't think it's universally shared. I have many friends and relatives whose kids, even if they grumble about work etc, are enjoying their school life overall. For my own kids, even though they were only in Singapore school for short periods, they enjoyed it overall. How a child reacts to competition depends to a large extent on how the family takes it, and also his own ability. How happy a child is through school is largely in the hands of the parents and the expectations set in the home. Childhood can still be enjoyed.

[quote=\"everafter\"]Is call the Sch suppose to call to inform the balloting even though moe published the results?

Yes by now you should have received the phone call from school to inform of the balloting.

I call the Sch and they say you hv the information during registration right? Seems like they don't call...[/quote]I experienced the same things. No call from school, so I guess I'd just follow MOE announcement and show up tomorrow at school at 9am for balloting.

Strange… Thought the school will normally SMS or call the parent… Otherwise, is deemed to be successful in the application…

Everyone's experience is different. DD is enjoying her childhood so is DS. Yes it is competitive but on the whole manageable.

yes i did not receive any calls or sms. i just call up the school to verify if my son's registration falls under balloting.


was informed that all SC residing within 1km (which was my case) has been successfully submitted under phase 2C. there is no sms or calls from school but they will send out the enrollment by next week.
