[quote=\"skysky2018\"]As at 8:22am on 27 Nov, for ACSP, 27 SC within 1km. Total registered applicant: 33 (i.e. 31SC + 2PR).

Thanks for the update.

you still participating this year?[/quote]Hi Lexy, good to see you again. Am just helping out quite a number of anxious friends and colleagues on this phase who are still monitoring. Reckon it'll end up balloting again? I won't be surprised if SJI also ballots this year.

Thanks sidekickasia. Looks like a bump for ACSP for <1km while ACSJ doesn’t deviate much.

[zac's mum]

All eyes will be on tomorrow morning and afternoon’s movements. All the best to those involved!


I don’t expect much changes this afternoon…

Hi Lexy, good to see you again. Am just helping out quite a number of anxious friends and colleagues on this phase who are still monitoring. Reckon it'll end up balloting again? I won't be surprised if SJI also ballots this year.[/quote]similar but different this year. similar is interest is there. difference is no left over from 2B. you know how fast ppl move around the area right?

I think is too early to tell for acsj. Prob most are still going for p and when p gets too crowded then will switch to j tmrw.

[zac's mum]

Yup. Still too early to say. Personally, I wouldn’t be too shocked if suddenly a lot of people <1km start appearing. As you know, there has been a property glut in Newton area and rental prices have come down significantly in the past one year.

its a matter of strongest heart. Those only 1 choice will stay, those have more choices may move. Those who has no preference either school will move to avoid balloting.

but it could very well be a repeat of phase 2b, that folks under 1km is all safe while balloting be for 1-2km or even 2km.

[sunny_side_up]

Just went down acsj. Not a single soul there. Staff refuse to disclose the latest breakdown. I ask them whether they will also not disclose tmrw. They say depends and see how busy they are tmrw.

[sidekickasia]

If I hear correctly over the phone, the numbers are:


ACSJ
35/2/5

ACSP
32/1/6

I didn’t ask for PR numbers. Probably still the same as 1pm.

[sunny_side_up]

Yup you are right. And for SJI, there are 40 applicants below 1km for 58 vacancies.

I also went down acsp see see look look.
Nice environment too. The lady says pr and sec kids have assembly at diff areas and recess at diff times too so they seldom mix. Saw a few parents checking out too and waiting for tmrw to register.
