Out of curiosity , the balloting is computer ballot, or lucky draw box style? If the latter, do parents go fish out a number, or do principal or someone fish out the lucky winners?


How Long does the process take?

For balloting, during P1 Registration :
Balloting is not computerised balloting but like Toto, where a VIP (school staff, not parents) gets invited to go up the stage to turn & spin the golden cage very, very fast, then the ball that drop out of the cage (bearing a registration number, written on the ball itself ) belonging to that lucky child, gets balloted in.

Meanwhile, parents seated below the stage, nervous & praying very hard each time one ball roll out of the cage, their heart beat very fast : hoping that the ball belong to their child.
Some parents dare not even open their eyes, they just shut their eyes, keep praying in their hearts, their ears sharp & alert concentrating to hear what is the ball number being called out (announced) loudly, after it just roll out of the cage

Those balls that remain inside the golden cage, din roll out : unlucky

Whole process last how long :
will depend on how many students are balloting.
More students, involved : longer time, to ballot

But for Secondary 1 Admission into popular Secondary schools, where your child (born 2010) is the 2ND batch to come under new AL Psle Banding system :
Yes, this is by computerised balloting, for P6 students sitting for psle 2022. By then, your child will be in P6.

Hmmm... but for those like myself who applied online, how would I know what's my registration number?

[/quote]Yes. One successful ballot for one of the twins will mean both siblings getting into the school = remove 2 places at once from remaining vacancy.

To whoever that secure a place, :congrats:


Anyone who know the breakdown of the school, please post the end results to ease those who got a place.

All the best to those in the balloting exercise.

When will they announce which schools and sub-phases require balloting?

Usually one day (or working day) later.
