[meeyah]

So scary a friend of mine got ballot out from phase 2B within 1km…still wanna try the same school on phase 2C…I don’t think I wanna try my luck again if I am the parent…cos in phase 2C competition will be even worse…open to public, everybody… anyone, please correct me if I am wrong. I did not share what I have thought to my friend yet.

I would too, if I have a sound backup plan for Phase 2C supplementary.

Yes, I know what you mean. Phase 2C is open to ALL. The chances are even slimmer but maybe your friend could have better luck this time.
Staying within 1km and yet balloted out, that's really scary at PHASE 2B.

2B is the 'easier' to get into. you are right in that competition for space will be more intense in 2C. Really up to your friend to decide which way he/she wants to go - just keep quiet and offer support.

A friend of mine quite bohchap, no PV nothing. I advised her to go for 2nd tier popular schools within her vicinity. Becos if she fail at 2C balloting for 1st tier popular schools, she may have to deal with the same disappointment come 2C Supplementary in 2nd or even 3rd tier pop schools.

Hmmm....sounds very familiar. :idea: Are you talking about me? :siam:

SAHP with big certs is lagi better...It means that not only you have calibre but also lots of free time to do PV duties....

Not sure about that..... it might imply that the child will need to be on the needy student list when they join the school :?

no lah, don't think she frequents ksp in the first place.

Just a strategy for school registration...no point chasing the crowds in hot hot primary schools.

The problem is is it worth it to take the chance cos phase 2c supp is those schools that have vacancies leftover.. the remainder schools which nobody would consider in the first place..
