[Bukit Merah] Primary Schools
-
I would trust the administrator’s experience and advice. And yes, for the popular schools there’s ALWAYS a flurry of activity in the last 2 hours, even last hour, even the last 15 minutes and last last absolute final minute at 4.29pm. I have seen it with my own eyes at my school. Don’t get caught out. U still need to factor in your travel time after withdrawing.

Yes please factor in the admin time and travel time for withdrawal. I have done this before myself last time and its so rush that I nearly fell and injured. The rush is not fun. Sometimes the admin take their own sweet time and its damn frustrating. -
Once 30 places start trickling downwards after lunch, I will withdraw and move on. No need to wait for the dam to be breached. For PR, the certainty of having a place is WAY BETTER than the risk of ballot or getting flood by a last hour wave of applicants.

Yikes, that indeed does not sound fun...Thank you, all, for your feedback on this. I better not roll the dice on this. ALTHOUGH, let me pose this question. If I lose out on Zhangde, and Cantonment has still a healthy number of spaces left for 2C Supplementary (however you want to define healthy), wouldn't I still have a decent shot at this so-called \"less popular\" school that typically still has spaces for foreigners even? -

Eek. Noted, ok.

Grabbing a place in Cantonment at phase 2C is FAR better than encountering a freak result in phase 2CS where it’s oversubscribed by SCs. Then PR will have zero chance again. -
My selection is CHIJ (K). Just finished registration at the school. I guessing there’ll be ballot for 1-2km SC…hope for the best!

This will be a surprise, never happen (2006 onwards)

Still don't think it would happen.

Ballot, yes. But for SC? Probably not. -

My daughter got in without need for ballot.
RMPS oversubscribed, ZDPS fully filled. No regrets on my choice, at least I don't have to consider backup at GESPS..
She squealed with joy when I told her she's confirmed going Kellock, cos she dislike rowdy boys. Haha...
