The figures just mean the available places after the completion of phase 1. There will certainly be places left for phases that come after phase 2A1 since it is unlikely phase 2A1 will take up all the remaining places.

You are going to try balloting? Are you living within 1km of Rosyth?

Yes, I'm living within 1 km

You do know that Rosyth’s 2C APP was 214% last year?

So your chance of being selected will be at best 50-50?

We are worried that the holding site would be far from the exisiting one. My child will be starting her Pri 1 in 2012... wonder if she would be spending most of her years in pri school education at the holding site.:(

If MOE requires all school to be in single session by 2017, they should be at a holding site latest by 2014 as most schools take around 2 years to upgrade, which means by Pri 6, your child should be back in the new school. Most prob, your child will spend Pri 3-4 at the holding site. You can call and check with the school.

while most schools would choose the upgrading path, some may choose to gradually reduce the number of intake over the next few years.
