Hi Mummies,

Have you got info regarding balloting ? Figures show 71 applicants for 53 seats. Will balloting be conducted for those staying out of 2km then ?

In cases of balloting, the highest risk group is >2km.. if way over subscribed this group will be the first grp which might not even get a chance to ballot...but i have heard from parents who registered before this year that they will be informed to withdraw and try somewhere else before end of registration of the Phase (2B/2C) if that happens..

I guess the school will inform parents to withdraw and try a school with higher chances of getting in. Schools are usually in residential estates and those within 1km/1-2km will stand much higher chance.
Even those staying within 1km could face balloting in very popular schools. All the best PARENTS.

I don't know if my heart can take such stress being there... Undecided

Hi Lizzy,

It’s stressful to be around during balloting.
Has pros and cons being there too. In any case, I still wish you and other parents all the best.

Hi, can anyone explain how balloting take place? Are numbers pre-assigned or given as parents arrive at school?
