Plus the fact that she is within 1km of Pei Hwa. When it comes to seat allocation, priority is given to those living within 1km. -

Understand ur frustration but i dont think it is going to be easy for the school to accomdate extra students this way just because of more applicants. If u want to accomodate extra 5 staying within 1km, what about those staying out of 1km? They may argue that since you can take in extra 5, what about extra 10, extra 20? It would be a no-ending and thankless job. And if u do that this year, how would it be in subsequent years? Everyone would be asking the school to accomodate the extra applicants every year??
I did not mention taking the places away from 2C so please don't jump the gun.
That is why I said I hope the schools can up their intake. I understand that they are trying to keep the class to a maximum of 30 for pr 1 & 2 but they increase it to 40 come primary 3. A lot of parents at my son's school think 10 less pupils in the class does not equate to more time, attention or effort spent on them. That was the case for my son's school, I don't speak for the rest.
Physically, every classroom is more or less of the same size so I gathered the capacity to accommodate the students has not reached its maximum. -

in China, the standard class size is 50, and if the school / teachers receive incentives, the class can upsize to 60
