2016 P1 Registration Exercise for 2017 In-Take

eastcoastmommy:

I am on ballot list for phase 2C. The school got last minute entries in last 30 min, which leads to ballot. I thought I was in comfortably in with seats to spare even by 4 PM on Friday..

Is it going to be same in Phase 2CS ?? i.e. parents coming in at last minute.. I want to avoid ballot at any cost in 2CS. If school has 10 seats or more at 4 PM on last day, is it safe bet that there will be no ballot ? Are parents willing to take ballot risk in Phase 2CS as well ?? Thanks

That's unfortunate and so sorry to hear this. Which school did you apply for? Were you in the >2km category?

Wah, keeping the parents very busy - MOE website, email, phonecall, slow mail...

yah.. if you ask me i rather MOE do all the work.. in allocating the seats .. than
creating so many phases / loophole to make parent busy

i agree!!! After this registration, going to write to MOE directly to propose a more viable and less stressful registration process.
