Just wondering… if u r >2KM or even >1KM… n knows there will be balloting… would u vountarily opt out n apply elsewhere less popular… and maybe create a no-ballot situation… or wait for others to opt out instead… hoping u have better luck than others?

Was asking hubby the same thing too. Does it mean that those staying out of 2km will have to look for another school ? Or still go for balloting ?

I rather skip balloting. I attended a balloting session for my company's D&D this Jan. Heart almost stopped and when we were not successful, the kind of feeling was beyond disappointment. My colleague even questioned if our ballot paper was in the bowl. That's why I am going to St. Stephen's later.

Personally, I would go through the balloting. If I had qualified under P2B, it means I was either a PV, etc. Since I had already spent my time contributing, why not go through the balloting? We still have P2C.

If you have the chance to go through balloting, go ahead, imho.

Of course must look for another school if you don't even have the chance to go through balloting.

I think for those who stick with ballot n *touch wood*... missed it... still end up have to look for another sch... tat's like double the misery... dun think I want to go thru tat... *touch wood* ballot missed again at 2C... tat's triple the misery... OMG...
Personal choice bah... esp when you have to live with this for the next 6 years of your kid's Pri sch edu.

Where's St. Stephen's ? How about St. Gabriel, saw that only 18 applied out of fifty something seats.

Hi janet_lee88


My girl is in IJTP P2. She loves assessments but when it comes to questions she can't solve after 2 tries or she has not encountered similar before, all hells break loose!! Though she's not the active sort, she can get quite drifted away with little side distractions. I remembered when she was in Nursary, she's usually one of the fastest in doing her work, then she'll start looking at what others are doing, followed by seeing her friends handing in their work.. and she ends up the last to complete her work.

Yes, I've registered at MSH. We went down to SJI after that to check out the place & our chances. Flat out, hubby didn't like what he saw so maybe he'll try his luck out on balloting
