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 ..
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 -phtthp\" post_id=\"1989153\" time=\"1596507933\" user_id=\"35251:
[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.
\"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 -
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.

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. -
