For all aiming-for-FMPS parents.


Called FMPS and was told that there are exactly 55 regns of less than 1km after regn closed today for the 55 vacancies. One more day of registration to go.... :nailbite:

All parents of more than 2km have already been informed to withdraw. I guess the 1-2km may hear something soon.

Ya... there will be a mad rush tomorrow afternoon... just praying there may be some withdrawals so that all within 1km can get in

Or no more new registrations for <1km tomorrow so that all 55 can get it without balloting

For Henry Park, I heard that they did not accept PV for this year's intake, that's why there are lesser registrations for Phase 2B vacancies, so balance roll over to Phase 2C. Does anybody know if that is true?

We were taken aback also when we saw the no. of registrations for 2B in FMPS this year. We were relieved when there was no balotting for those <2km as we knew of 1 neighbour living in the same compound as us but is outside 2km.

My friend did PV and got into henry park (register this year) - so the above is not true. I think HPPS principal controls number of PVs so those who managed to complete the hours will get a very good chance to get in.
