No.

RGPS ballot for SC > 2km is nothing special. If anything, it has the potential to ballot for SC between 1-2km. Chances are most 1-2km are just getting smarter to identify an opening at this particular school.

HWS is just par for the course. Given that there are plenty of places available at Stamford and Bendemeer, I don't see why people would be put-off by the balloting in HWS.

because stamford and bendeemer are really quite far off as compared to HWS if you are staying at Balastier-Whampoa / Boon Keng. Most likely the former 2 schools are the backup 2CS schools.

Far but not if you are staying on the other side of the expressway, over at McNair, Little India or Boon Keng. 1km is a radius.

Those staying at Whampoa are basically a captive audience. You have no real alternatives and no where to run to. Your only option is to ballot at HWS.

Thus, when you have one group with no where else to go, and another group who is happy to join in because their alternative is the same place they would have gone anyway if they have lost the ballot, you end up in this situation.[/quote]Every morning I will see students wearing bendemeer primary school uniform crossing the bridge and walking past HWS to their school. It will be a sad thing for them. The government even closed the balastier primary school last year.

SNAFU.

If you don’t like Bendemeer, the other alternative to HWS for some lucky ones is SAJS (ballot also). Otherwise it’s one of the schools in Toa Payoh (which is just as far or could be further than Bendemeer).
