haha..i know. Just that my luck always not so good when it comes to balloting.
Your odds are not too bad leh. Many times more winners than losers. The ballot is final. The only thing you can do is to add yourself to the school's wait list. That route does work occasionally.laneykc:
Hi All!
Unfortunately we fell into the balloting group for those <1km. Registered for FMPS under 2C.
Called the school, was told that 40 SC are balloting for 34 places.
Any advice if there is an appeal channel available for parents wish to appeal if the balloting is unsuccessful?
TIA!
So what's next if we are really the unlucky one who didnt get in. Wait for 2C supplementary phase on the school (2nd choice)? -

How will parents know the balloting results for phase 2c?

Either you can choose to attend the balloting session (you will know the results on the spot)...or you can choose to await the snail mail letter that the school will send to you (hopefully before phase 2C(S) starts). Or maybe you can phone and hope they will answer you... -

Based on what I understood from a school staff, if you don't stand a chance or need balloting, the school will probably have already contacted you.
If not, the school should be sending out the snail mail to you sometime this week. -

Hi, does anyone know the numbers for Mee Toh? TIA!
167 SC within 1km -

This year the outcome is ridiculous! So many schools within 1km need to ballot. How much more next year the Dragon year???!
Add buffer to your odds and see whether it's still good. If not, exercise plan B to go to the 2nd preferred school if any. -

Actually it all depends on the school. Im one of the SC <1km that will be balloting 2mr but heard nothing from the school. When I called Huamin Primary today, the staff said balloting is optional for parents to attend. For the record, it will be held at 9.00am at the school hall.
So, I guess, results will only be revealed sometime this week. Onus lies with parents to call the school, provided they are willing to share the details/information with you. -

Who knows maybe the mindset and strategies of the parents will change next year after analysing this year's outcome. To play safe, maybe all or most will consider the not so popular schools. Then the usually hot ones suddenly plenty of vacancies. LOL..tinywings:
