South View Primary School 34 42

I'm really curious to know the breakdown figures....too excited that I forgot to ask the sch as soon as I find out I need not ballot.

[/quote]I have old students from my enrichment classes studying in

CCKPS. Errr… they’re all Chinese. All of them said their children
are coping fine and enjoy school. Ethnic balance should be same
across the board with all schools isn’t it… especially government
schools?:?[/quote]
hi buds, I’m still in a dilemma on gg for SV or CCK. Went to SV website, & seems that they really nurture the students with the CCAs that they offered, while CCK doesn’t really offer much info. As a parent, I wld like to have the best for my child, but not sure whether their standard will drop since the principal will be changed next year or so. As for CCK, the distance factor will really win hands down, though SV is also within 1km, but will have to walk. So if buds & other parents can offer advice to this v indecisive mum, it will be deeply appreciated!

Yes…the SV standard will drop once the current principal leave the sch during next year.
Let’s be practical, after phase 2B, now in phase 2C, CCK is left with 147 vacancies, while SV left with 33 vacancies.
Each year, in phase 2C within 1KM there is easily more than 130 applicants for SV, hence success rate for balloting is 1 out of 4 for this year.
What happens if balloted out in phase 2C at SV, that means will go to phase 2C supplement. Questions is whether there will still be enuf vacancies left at CCK or concord ? Maybe yes, maybe no, or maybe need balloting at phase 2C supple too?
If you can stand the stress of balloting, then go ahead to SV & try your luck.

Hi KP, tks for ur advice. Geez, I wouldn't want the added stress of balloting. I'm juz naive to think P2C registrants wld be lesser based on the statistics given for the last phases which is supply > demand. In that case, I will go for cckps. Thanks

Past 4 years, always within 1KM balloting for SV at phase 2C.

Yr 2009, 126(within 1KM) registered balloting for 51 vacancies.
Yr 2008, 159(within 1KM) registered balloting for 89 vacancies.
Yr 2007, 165(within 1KM) registered balloting for 79 vacancies.
Yr 2006, 199(within 1KM) for 74 vacancies.

Year 2010 ??? balloting for 33 vacancies.

Under MOE policies, Principal is rotated after having served between 6 to 8 years in a school.
The current Principal at SV was posted to SV since year 2004, and hence already 7 years.

Unity...because you have no chance for DLS. DLS had always needed balloting for < 1km.
