When is the actual balloting taking place?

I suppose it should be Monday and Tuesday next week since results from balloting will be released on 8/8, the day before national day which will be early dismissal for all schools.
for kids who are balloted out, if parents want to put their kids on school wait list, they would have to be there before 10am.

Hi Janet, may I know where you get this information from? \"for kids who are balloted out, if parents want to put their kids on school wait list, they would have to be there before 10am.\"

based on past experience.
there is no guarantee the child will get a place if they are put on wait list, but should there be, the school may call at the end of the year. the reason why I mentioned before 10am is because 8 august is eve of national day and there is early dismissal for all primary and secondary schools.

yes, I understand that the school will be released early on 8 August 2018. But is it necessary to resubmit/reapply on 10am? I am just wondering whether it makes any different resubmitting/reapplying on the 8 Aug itself or later?

wait. you are not reapplying or resubmitting...but merely putting your name on school wait list in case there is someone who leaves and there is a vacancy.
kiasu mah. though it is not transparent or confirmed who will be called if there is a vacancy, it's still 'safer' to submit name asap right?

if balloted out, next step would have to register at schools which still have vacancies under 2CS on 13/8.
this p1 registration is a stressful process every year...but worse during hot ones.

We are simply advising you to be the fastest person there, to be as high on the waitlist as you possibly can.

If u delay and delay, you will be lower down the list. When the school got vacancy open up, guess who they call first? The most sincere one right?
