Hi,


I'm looking at the balloting history for Holy inncent @ hougang for the past 2yrs. Under Phrase 2B, balloting is required for >2km? for ex, if i'm staying 1-2km and under phrase 2B, chances is good?

if i'm under 2C, not even need to think about it :oops:

There has been balloting in the last 2 years for HI in Phase 2B for those staying beyond 2km only. But this has been trending up, so do take caution even if you are at 1-2km in Phase 2B.

You can always work backwards to get the absolute numbers from the percentages in this http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/bukit-timah.

MGS 2008 : Total vacancies = 210
Vacancies for phase 2C = 38, Applicants for phase 2C = 44
Ballot conducted for those staying 1-2 km.

Hi,


I am a little confused… I’m interested in St Nicks, but am only qualified for Phase 2B, >2km, so I don’t stand a chance at all, right?

However, from my understanding of the ballot results in 2008, it shows that balloting was conducted twice - once in Ph 2B <1km and once in Phase 2C <km? Why is that?

TEN TEN, they divide the number of places left after Phases 1 and 2 : half to 2B and half to 2C. Hence there were 2 ballotings done. For your case, since u stay out of 2km, you dont stand a chance at all as both ballotings were conducted for those staying within 1km only.

Ah, I see… thanks for enlightening me, Luanee!


In this case, what are my DD’s chances for Holy Innocents Pri (since St Nic’s definitely no chance) if I live within 2km and qualify for Phase 2B?

I am looking at the balloting history for TPY area and noted :
1. St andrews junior under phase 2C was yellow, ie. Balloting required for 1-2km YEAR 2008.
>>does that mean those who fall within 1km need not have any balloting done and got a place? I am abt 700m away.

I'm an ex student from HIPS, but then is so far away for my kids to study there as we shifted out from the area...sigh.
