hub said if tns cannot get in go naps.
Really hope can get in to nearby sch cos we stay jus opp would be v convenient for my boy. if not successful we will have to find sch which is likely to be far Fr home.

You may need another backup school. There is a slight possibility of all places of NAPS taken up in phase 2C, leaving none for phase 2C supplement.

There are some spill over effect seen in phase 2B. Probably from grassroots leaders that are staying > 1km from TNS, switched to NAPS when they realise they have no chance with TNS.

agreed. i feel so immobile in that area now......so congested

i wonder how these parents feel now when at initial thots of buying these hses there at hefty prices,
hoping to get into TNS but in the end still need to ballot.

:idea: Sell the house to next group of parents aiming for TNS and make a decent profit.

If only this thing was managed a little better...
It's definitely better to be \"turned away\" at an early date so the parents can make other plans.
So many had to do PV and Grassroots and Society work, move house and then ballot again.

This year, 24 schools compared to 13 last year had to ballot in phase 2b.
