[quote=richardtansingapore post_id=1989735 time=1596696442 user_id=179520]I called the school. The staff shared that applications are still coming in, and that SC < 1km might have to ballot. Which means best for SCs (1-2 km) to apply elsewhere.

This is not Punggol or Sengkang. I highly doubt there are more than 76 SC < 1km. Most likely outcome is ballot between 1-2km

this is from 2018 registration, Dragon year, is likely possible to hit more than 70 this year as well.

https://postimg.cc/0zQXDMDR[/quote]This year probably ends up similar to dragon year. It looks worse coz school having fewer vacancies available for 2C. any idea why is it? Unusual high taken rate in 1A or 2A?

Vacancies for RGPS P1 registration 2020 is 270, same like last year. Seems more applicants in 2C.

[quote=richardtansingapore post_id=1989148 time=1596507045 user_id=179520]Called the school. The school is not sharing the distance breakdown for 2C. That'll make it difficult to make an informed decision on whether to apply for RGPS. If there's no chance at all or poor balloting odds, at least the parents can apply elsewhere instead for 2C. Unlike in previous years, when parents can visit the school to see the distance breakdown for themselves.

Now, another far more impt question to ask is, instead of asking for detailed number break down by distance, which from this covid year onwards, no admin staff in any school going to disclose to parents is, to ask Rgps admin directly, specifically -

\"My daughter is SC, more than 2 km. May I know, which distance range is balloting now ? Is it SC (1 to 2 km) ? If Yes, then I must quickly withdraw, while I still got time. I need to know the answer, this is very important to me, because if i no chance to ballot, I must quickly go to another school now to apply, because I cannot avoid to waste my precious 2C chance. You don't give me the numbers break down , never mind. I can still accept. But I need to know, for SC more than 2 km, in or out, in terms of balloting chance? Please show empathy ! \"

All SC more than 2 km, be proactive, don't expect the school to call u up to withdraw

Because

In that last critical hour, last day of Phase 2C (3.30 pm to 4.30 pm closing time), anything can happen. You won't know, if there are a lot of applicants apply online within 1 km, or within 1 to 2 km, their distance range earlier before you. Also, during this last critical hour, it is impossible to expect Rgps admin to call you all up one by one, because they are very busy handling last minute registration. Thus, please be on your toes, stay alert during that last one hour action (3.30 pm to 4.30 pm), last day of 2C

=======================

Another important thing-

All (SC more than 2 km),

Please call the school after lunch, ask specifically :
which distance range, to ballot?

Because

if you call around that last adrenalin-rushing panic hour, last day 2C (3.45 pm to 4.30 pm), worried that

the school phone line may be engaged, cannot get through, because so many other parents are also dialling in, too

Thanks for the advice phtthp. Unfortunately, I called to ask if there would be any balloting, and which distance range would it be, and they were not willing to divulge the information. :([/quote] This is just ridiculous, must feedback to MOE or MP....what is the purpose of hiding the data and cause unnecessary stress to parents ..

[Mishasha]

For those who are joining RGPS and existing students, please check this out. Now there are 2 traffic police who station in front of the school entrance every morning around 6.45am when I send my girl to school. Please drive carefully and watch out for parents and girls who are walking / skate scooting / cycling to school.

6 August 2020, 4.30 pm, was the last day of Phase 2C of P1 registration

the next day, 7 August, after Phase 2C was entirely over, closed, called up the school to inquire, which distance range (for SC) entered balloting ? RGPS admin replied, \"we don't have the data\"

This year is different. I was told that many parents double registered using the online form and did not withdraw from the school they registered earlier. Hence many schools are waiting for MOE to confirm the list of students for them.

[Aztac]

Oh shoot, this year within 1km ballot!
