All About Primary Schools' Balloting History

[cutefarts]

Ai Tong School

Available vacancies in Phase 2B: 20
Number of applicants:38
Balloting: Yes

Balloting will be conducted for Singapore Citizen children residing within 1km of the school. If your application is unsuccessful, you can register again in your next eligible phase.

Can I ask a silly question does that mean all 38 are SC applied < 1km? Or does that include EVERY applicant?

Secondly, if 38 includes EVERY applicant, and if 24 are SC < 1km, only 24 will be asked to ballot correct?

Or is there any source we can try to find the breakdown?

No breakdown will be given unless you call the school directly (and schools may not want to / can don’t give).

Hi,

Can I ask if we can put waitlist on the schools we are balloted out in 2c and 2cs. Assuming both also unsuccessful. How does the school determine who are the priority since many will put on waitlist too. Thanks

Yes, u can waitlist at as many schools as you want, there’s no limit.

Each school has its own way of determining priority on the waitlist, neither are they obliged to disclose how they select. Welcome to the big black hole after registration.

Once the entire P1 Registration exercise is officially over, completed, finished,

it is up to the individual sole discretion / authority of the Principal(s) of primary schools, how she (he) intend to manage their Wait-list, names submitted by K2 kindergarteners balloted out of Phases (2A1, 2A2, 2B, 2C, 2C Supp)

Principal(s) are Not obliged to disclose to public who to give the vacancy to, should there be any withdrawal by any pupil, from within their school. So the answer is, you won't be able to know. As far as the P1 Registration is concerned, it is officially over, closed !


You can however submit Wait-list forms to as many schools as you like. There is no limit to the number of Wait-list forms submitted.

One thing to take note is, schools only action upon Wait-list, provided vacancies arise.
If the school continue to remain in \"full-house\" status, meaning no vacancy at all, then nothing will be done to your Wait-list form submitted, even if the Wait-list forms collated, are piled up mountain high up the stack, on the table inside the Admin General office !
