Thats why i’m wondering why isn’t MOE implementing the “once registered no withdrawal” where everyone is only given 1 chance. But i guess they dont see things like we see it. Resulting in parents hogging places in earlier phases.

Usually I don’t want to give my opinion on the system, I am the type of adopting a strategy within the guideline so if one keep switching guideline, I have to plan again.

On the matter of withdrawal, i would suggest that if there is a case of balloting within that phase that the child was successfully balloted, one will not be allowed to withdraw.

I agree.

In CHS case, two were withdrawn just before phase 2B, very likely from 2A1 enrollment. It’s quite unfair for the 2 children balloted out in the same phase (cannot imagine how upset they are), as well to the 2A2 candidates who didn’t even get a chance.

(Game master didn't specify this rule as 2A2 so far is being bypass once 2A1 is full)

Just wondering, assuming 21 ballot for 20 places and subsequently 1of those who got it decided to withdraw, would the place then be given to the 21st person or the place give to next phase and the poor 21st person join the next phase to compete against those in that phase? I tot the former would be fairer than the latter. Thanks.

when did those 2 CHS cases withdraw ? They withdrew at 2B ? So, no use even if u camped at 2A2, bec nobody withdrew then.

If someone in P2B withdraws during P2C, the extra place goes to P2C.

Hello all


So we are ballotting for SJI beyond 2km. Had a withdrawal in earlier phase bit still very tight…9 spots for 37 applications, so its a 1 in 4 chance.
St stephens is our next choice in 2C. Looking like it will have 90 seats…any idea if 2C also will be ballot for beyond 2km?

Thank you, god bless.

Two extra seats go to 2B and 2C, it means withdrawal happened after opening of 2A2 registration (otherwise 2A2 shall not be bypassed) and before 2B registration closure.

St Stephen's in 2C is safe for SC and PR. However this year, it seems that if the school goes to 2CS, may have balloting.
