Hi all, with the current standing of 33 applicants within 1 km for raffles girls primary school, what is the chance of not balloting within this category? Appreciate all input and thoughts :love:

[tingting2424]

So meaning the process will take more than an hour? If we’re not there, hw do we know if we got in or not?

Lucky u.. Gotta look for another backup sch.. So any idea hw the balloting takes place?

i think your chance is even if you are citizen as you have two slips instead of one

as discussed, in worst case scenario, fill up the form for waitlist, go to back up school and study hard, and transfer back with good result after one or two years.

and one more chance, transfer back if qualified for GEP 3 years down the road

see, still have many opportunities

and don't forget to email the principal and call the school every month regarding the waitlist......

forget about all these if you are successful at the ballot

NYPS - 62 within 1km, RGPS - 52 within 1km…wow, many SPRs had converted to SCs this year. I thot year of the monkey was one of the lowest birth rate in the decade. With so many SPRs (70K in 07, 90K in 08 and 150K in 09), wonder what’s left for us, SC.

Good thing is, the election is not held this year. Most of us affected will know whom we want to vote for…sign…
