So now that the \"guaranteed\" Phases 1 and 2A are over, let's have a quick look at the highlights.


Anderson
- 3% increase in Phase 2A. Those going for Anderson in Phase 2C should be mentally prepared for balloting for at least 1-2km, or possibly even for less than 1km. The last time there was balloting in Phase 2C for under 1km was in 2006 with a Phase 2A cummulative TUR of 63%. It was 53% last year. This year, it is 58%, which is uncomfortably close to 63%.

AMK Primary
- 10% increase in Phase 1 over historical average (2006-2009). Unlikely to cause any balloting, though, since Phase 2B for AMKP has largely been non-existent.

CHIJ St Nicholas
- TUR increased by 11% over historical average. Largest contributor is in Phase 2A. 80% of available vacancies has been taken. Only 20% left. It will be difficult for St Nick's to avoid balloting in both Phase 2B and 2C - most likely open only to those staying within 1km.

Da Qiao
- TUR increased by 10% over the historical average from 2006-2009. Largest contributor to this increase is in Phase 1. I suppose parents are getting more confident with the school to continue sending their kids there. No balloting expected for Phase 2B or 2C.

Maybe just to do a poll here, any parents registering their girl for St.Nick for phase 2B / 2C this year??

Just a bit of trivia.

A friend of mine just finished PV at SNG. He tells me that there were about 25 (+/- 10%) PVs this year to the best of his knowledge. He reckons that the majority live within 1 km. :!: I think that there are 24 places available for 2B. So even excluding Catholics within 1 km, its already oversuscribed.

Personally I know of 2 PVs within 1km and 1 Catholic within 1km who will be applying for SNG.

I reckon that SNG will ballot for 2B within 1 km

When i attended the PV briefing last year, i recalled asking the vp how many pairs of PV will there be, if i did not recall wrongly, i tink there is 15-16 pairs.


I think that balloting is inevitable for phase 2B too.
