would like to check for example dls has 77 vacancies but the no. of applicants is 94.I am sure there will be ballot for this instance but the ballot will be categorised according to distance right. So let say there are abt 30 applicants out of the 94 staying within 1km. Will this grp be given priority and be given seats automatically and then the remaining 47 vacancies be balloted. how exactly does the distance priority work ? pse enlighten be thks to u all.

[tankee]

let me explain with an example


if vacancy is 40 and there are
- 30 applicants within 1km
- 20 applicants 1-2 km
- 10 applicants above 2km

the 30 applicants within 1km will all be successful (PR & Singaporean all successful).

the 20 applicants 1-2 km will ballot for the remaining 10 places since 30 taken up by within 1km. The Singaporean child will have 2 slips placed in the balloting bowl, while the PR child will have 1.

the 10 applicants above 2 km will all be unsuccessful, no chance to ballot at all.

For DLS, every yr they have ballot at 2C for <1km. So if 94 applied, that means all are <1km. They do not accept registration for those staying 1 - 2km. I can understand your confusion coz the staff simply talked about <1km.

Sancai,

we fall in the same category. PV kanna rejected with no reason. We went thru the interview too but we know in mind that getting a chance is slim unless the parents can contribute more than what they expect. Me too thinking of day care when i’m working since i cant get into SV.

[tanadi]

I am going to apply in phase 3. From the current situation I am hoping that I will be able to get only into teck whye primary or karnji primary. I would appreciate if someone could guide me as to which one among them is a better option.

Thanks.
