[quote=\"tinywings\"]Queenstown pri is a big surprise! Last few years still have places for 2CS. But this yr, oversubscribed by more then +30. I also heard good word of mouth abt that school. It has redeemed itself. We need more success stories like Queenstown pri. Those schs that pple shunned but now gained recognition, so that all schs will be more \"balance\" in numbers.

Did you realize how many flats they just built all around this school?

But New Town Pri is just a bus stop away from Queenstown pri. Why the contrast n not the numbers not distributed evenly? No idea leh.. *shrugged shoulders*[/quote]
Most of flat near new town being torn down for en bloc. Many ppl shifting out. Queenstown many new families pay over $500k for flat, it’s next to mrt and they don’t drive, aiming for the school downstairs walking distance. Even the kindergarten over subscribed.

Hi..anyone got a breakdown of Haig Girls Primary? I heard they have a history of having high PR registrants. Thanks.

I went to the school this morning and they were not giving the breakdown. However, I pushed a little and they said they \"may\" have balloting for PRs 1-2km but couldn't be sure (?!). I rang back at midday and it was a similar message, with slightly more registrations. But at 4pm when I rang, the lady on the phone said it was looking like balloting for SC >2kms. The message seemed to change depending on who you spoke to. It all seemed very imprecise and vague, which was frustrating. I'll be interested to see the actual breakdown when it's released. (We are PRs under 2km and decided not to risk our 2C choice and went for a safer choice instead.)

Hey, Thanks for the info. We are SC>2km..looks like another week of waiting..Daymn

Hi, can I just confirm that once a child is accepted in the school and the parents informed via sms, parents need not do anything or need not confirm they are accepting the place and just wait for the school to send the letter? Cos i find it odd that there are people pulling out leading to more places added.

Thanks.

Called at 5ish and a lady confirmed that SC>2km will need to ballot. No breakdown given. If you are affected, you can try to call tomorrow morning to check if they would reveal the breakdown. They were pretty pleasant when I spoke to them today.

I asked a question earlier but didn’t get any answer so I shall try again:

1. How to waitlist? Go down to the school, 1 person or 2 person? 1 person
2. When to waitlist? After 2cs or 8 August can already? on 8 aug immediately after u get the SMS evidence
3. If u waitlist another school and got it, what happens to your spot in the first school (if there is no waitlist in sch 1)? Is it just left vacant? if u got it, go sign the paperwork at the new school first, then u take the evidence & go inform the old school that you are vacating the spot. It will go to any waitlistees, or if none then left vacant until somebody wants to transfer in
4. Does the school you waitlist at give you a number or entirely up to their discretion?
Entirely up to their discretion how they want to dole out the seat
Thanks.

I didn’t register at the school which is a 5 minute walk from my house because it was over subscribed by 2C. Can I waitlist for this school even though I didn’t register here?
Thanks

Hope all is prs but teachers say all the 13 are prs ?
