Thanks for the update but what is phase 3. I was told that there is no phase 3?

Phase 3 is for non-Singaporeans/PRs, and registration is on a first come first serve basis.

Really? That is what I thought initially but someone in the forum clarified my assumption is wrong, it is only that we get 2 vote and PR get 1 vote in the ballot. So, which is right? If yours is correct, it will mean that the Phase 2C if any, will be for the local only and the PRs and foreign participate in Phase 3. Is that right?

hi optimus,

If there is to be balloting in phase 2B/C, Singaporeans will be given 2 votes and PRs 1. Foreigners are not entitled under these phases (at least this is what I understand to be).

Not sure what is it you are confused with. What you mentioned were two different issues.

Phase 3 - for foreigners, i.e. non-Singaporeans/PRs. These foreigners are NOT eligible for phases prior to Phase 3.

Phases 1-2CS are only for Singaporeans and PRs. In the event that any phase requires balloting (except Phase 1 for which all applicants will be accepted), Singaporeans will be given two balloting slips. PRs will be given only one balloting slip.

Hope the above clarifies.

Optimus,

Starting from this year's registration, if balloting should take place in Phase 2B and 2C, Singaporeans get 2 votes and PR 1 vote.

qms,
From what I observe, there is no balloting required in Phase 2A (hopefully). This annual registration is a stressful period. Why must MOE make Thursday & Friday be those days to register? :scratchhead: Wouldn't Mon & Tue be less stressful...at least you get to know the results the same week.

Haha, I think the confusion stems from \"non-Singaporeans/PR\" ..... It should be \"non Singaporeans/PR\" without the dash coz with the dash, it reads non-Singaporeans or PR, thus :? since PR is already in the earlier phases, why are they included in Phase 3 too? But what qms means is as long as they are not singaporeans nor PR, then they are in Phase 3 :lol:

Hope it further clarifies and sorry for diverging

Yes, so far we have not seen any balloting in P2A. Don't think there will be balloting in this phase, because should there be balloting in P2A, it means the school will not have any vacancy for subsequent phases - something which is very unlikely. So, again, don't worry.

Thanks for the clarification! :celebrate:

qms,

Phase 2A is split into 2A(1) and 2A(2). If the younger siblings, children of staff teaching in school and children of old girls/boys can’t get into that school, surely there will be lots of dissatisfaction. Like what you mentioned if balloting is required at Phase 2A, then can forget about Phase 2B/C. So I can sleep better with your assurance. THANK YOU.

Dear All, thanks for the clarification. I am getting very nervous, can't the kindergarten distribute the booklet earlier? :roll: BTW, anybody know when is the date that I can do the declaration to use my parents' address?

For Phase 2C registeration, do I have to consistent wait to check on the vacancy in my preferred school first then apply, or do I register first then withdraw if there is no more vacancy left.

Actually, the booklet doesn't provide you with a lot of information that you do not already know.

You can do either. For the latter approach, you will need to mobilise both parents. One parent will station at the school that you have already registered, while the other parent at the school that you plan to register.

Hi,


I will be registering my boy this year and have a couple of questions:

1) How is balloting done? If there are X vacancies and a surplus of Y, will they pick X or Y balloting slips (if that’s what they use)?

2) When is balloting conducted? How and when will parents be informed?

3) How does one go about giving up a place in a school secured in an earlier phase? Must the parent be down at the school during a subsequent phase to withdraw the child? Can this be done inbetween phases via telephone, for example?

Many thanks in advance!
