In past year Haig Girls and Katong Convent ballot for 2C supplementary?

They usually have leftover vacancies after Phase 2C and then balloting at Phase 2C suppl. This year, Haig Girls' is already oversubscribed at phase 2C and Katong Convent has only 9 vacancies left for 2C Suppl.

Anyone who withdrew in earlier phases like phase 1/2A/2B and managed to apply a sch nearer home at 2C? Pls share your experiences:

- U successfully guaranteed a place? Or
- Awaiting balloting results?

Just to share, we aborted our plan due to the uncertainty in the last 2hrs from 2.30 to 4.30pm. Sure enough, 11 SC walked in the last 2hrs and my choice school is currently in a balloting situation (At closing time we still had no idea then).

Thank u Zac's mum for the reminder to all the parents here. My girl was aware what happened. She cried saying then she come home so late. Broke my heart seeing her cried.

I wonder if there are any parents who will withdraw from their 2A, 2B schools and apply in 2CS. When this happens, they’ll free up 1 vacancy and no one will know.

Agree that we shouldn’t let anxiety affect us.. however really quite tough. Cos really stressful to wait for the result...

applies to PSLE results and Sec 1 posting too.

Give up their Phase 1 and Phase 2A2 seat for Phase 2C, not Phase 2C Suppl. 2 such cases from Tao Nan school as shown on their website. Most probably they wanted a school nearer to home.

I think someone posted earlier that it would be 33 applicants balloting for 28 vacancies. Not sure when ballot is actually conducted but result will be announced on Wednesday, 8th. Good luck to you.

Could be they registered early to secure a place and monitor schools around their homes in 2C and didnt dare execute their plans. Maybe in 2C they change their minds and go for some schools with many vacancies.
So what happens to the vacancy if they decided to withdraw since MOE wont publish the vacacies anymore.
