Dunno because also first time and was lucky to have no balloting.


However on the form there’s an option to state that your child did NOT get a place. So I assume you get the form either way?

Sorry, couldn’t help more.

If you need to go for balloting, I think they will call you. But some schools might take the passive approach of waiting for parents to call them instead.

I didn't go through balloting, so I can't advise you on whether there would be a formal rejection letter. I would assume there isn't. Imagine sending hundreds of rejection letters... :scared:

I suggest that you be more proactive and call the school as soon as the registration is closed. If you need to ballot but you can't attend, call the school once the balloting is over. Usually the balloting exercise is done in the morning, few days after registration for the respective phase is closed.

The list is wiped out after the balloting exercise.

Dun understd ur qn. Are u one of those who applied for NYPS, HPPS and ACPS? If not, you're already successful, as no balloting was required by the rest in Phase 2A2.

If u had applied for one of the above, but live outside 1km, you shd already know by now that you are unsuccessful, before the unsuccessful form even reaches you. Applicants eligible for balloting are usually informed by phone/SMS as time is tight. Obviously, not being invited to ballot means not suc.

That carbon-copy form you took home last week has a missing last section. In a few days' time, you will get the original form back in ur letterbox, but w an additional last section showing the SUCCESSFUL/NOT SUCCESSFUL box + P's signature + date of orientation.

After entire exercise over in late Aug-Sept, the formal package will come in w orientation prog, sch uniform size chart n vendor contact, booklist, sch bus forms, house and class assignment...

Thought balloting under Phase 2A(2) for these 3 schools for this year is for 'SC children staying outside 2 km of school'? :scratchhead:
