May I ask for everybody's opinion on the chance for P2C at ACPJ, 1-2km? I have a feeling that there will be a lot of applicants within 1km... parents who can afford and willing to buy properties around the school...

I think chances are quite slim. Based on previous years, there was either balloting within 1-2km or a cutoff at 1km in P2C. And with ACSP being so hot this year, there might be some who will try at ACSJ instead. Best to have a back-up plan. Good luck!

Hi citygirl,

Many thanx for your response n well wishes. It sort of confirms my fears... Actually I'm more inclined to go RVPS but with fewer than usual number of places at P2C this year, have to monitor the situation at ACSJ as well. Have already applied leave on 4Aug afternoon. This really is like going to war...

Anyone knew or care to share about


St Margaret's Pri 's Balloting history for past year?

Under 2C Pharse, The balloting is for more than2km.
Anyone know how many applicants for how many vacancies for those more than 2km?

Thanks.

Balloting history: http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/central

Phase 2C will have (70 - 32) + 70 = 108 vacancies this year. There is no predetermined places based on the respective distance groups.

Phase 2C has not started so no one knows the answer to your second question..

Good luck.

Thanks for the link. What I'm trying to find is Year 2009 - last year) of 2C on the exact number of vacancies and applicants for more than 2km in P2C. (As from the history chart, it only stated balloting for more than 2km, there no indication of numbers. So I need to know if anyone know or remember).

Thanks.

Anyone knows the breakdown of the applicants?

For RVPS, at lunch time, there are 40 applicants <1km and 18 1-2km. When I called again at 4:45pm, the number <1km has increased to 44. Didn't even bother to ask again how many applicants 1-2km.

Seems like this year RVPS will have to ballot for <1km at phase 2C, not since 2006. :shock:

For ACSJ, the figures are 51 at less than 1km, 12 at 1-2km and 6 beyond 2km, also as of 4:45pm. Will ballot also lah IMHO.

My wife predicts some applicants at ACSP may withdraw last minute tml (already more than 19 applicants within 1km) and \"spill over\" to ACSJ, possibly forcing out the 12 applicants at 1-2km... esp for those who stay within 1km to both schools (Newton area) :idea:

(Hey, this is the same as what citygirl has told me earlier!) Great minds think alike! :ugogirl:

Hi…this is so nerve breaking…


Anyone know. tomorrow will be the official "WAR" day for many.

How are we able to get the exact number of applicants / breakdown for the school? Do we call the school direct or go down to the office and check?

I’m sure tomorrow, there will be lots of phone calls…etc sigh… so vexed!

ANyone one the breakdown for St. Margaret?
