i am staying near GRPS and cause it needs balloting within 1km and in order not to take the risk, I went to register at BCPS today. BCPS will need balloting for those within 1-2km.

Hi jolin78,
Y don't u register at GRPS since u stay near and is within 1km? If Beacon needs to ballot for only 1km, how? Did u call the sch and check how many register as 1km at Beacon?

Hi mummy of 3,


Beacon has abt 130 appliants within 1km,per them, all within 1km will not have to ballot. Hopefully there is no major change in the last few hrs of registration today.

Still have 2nd half of registration... Hope there are at least 30 seats for those staying 1-2km...

oh yeah… a lot of ppl are feeling stress and praying hard

Hello, I am also staying within 1 km of GRPS and within 1-2km of Beacon and Zhenghua. Very tempted to just register at Zhenghua Primary and be done with it. Was thinking that if I didn’t get through the balloting and history repeats itself, I won’t stand a chance with Zhenghua at all.


On the other hand, the probability of a successful ballot is pretty high, about ~80% for GRPS and ~70% for Beacon? Sigh…dunno what to do…one more hour to go…

[quote=\"Joeyz18\"]now i worry if cannot get place in BPPS should i go for zhenghua? stress, man :nailbite:

Joeyz18,
You should. But the only worry is... those who are unsuccessful at BPPS will do that. Hopefully, Zhenghua will have enough places at 2C supp.

Based on past balloting history, Zhenghua have sufficient places to last until Phase 2C supplementary. Last year in Phase 2CS, have balloting for those staying at 1Km.[/quote]then Phase 2C supplementary is FIRST COME FIRST SERVE?
