Hi brownie,

Since you're confirmed of a place in Pei Chun under 2A, take it.
It's not worth the risk to withdraw and face balloting under 2C.

All the best.

After discussion with all the family members. I decided not to withdraw DS from Pei Chun. Anyway MS needs balloting for 1 to 2 km. I just hope that DS will enjoy his primary schooling. Hope the stress level is within acceptable level for him and for me.

Ooops, read the website wrongly, ballot is for > 2 km for MS. Saw * for both within 2 km and more than 2 km. Thought needs balloting for 1 to 2 km. Confirm not withdrawing from PC.

I understand your worry and stress...felt the same way when my son got into Pei Hwa. Easier said than done, but learn along with him.

Hi cherrygal, May I know why you would like to withdraw from Pei Chun and go for Maris Stella? So far it seems that you have chance but if you are not below 1km, its risky as if the demand exceeds supply on this last day, your chances would be very slim. Consider properly before making your decision. Good Luck.

Hi Marmum,
It's not me...it's brownie. I was just giving advice to brownie...

Hi brownie_06,
Good that you have decided to stay with Pei Chun. Even if MS now states balloting for >2km, you never know until end of today. There is still a possibility of balloting 1-2km as in past history. Just stick with the good school that you have been blessed with. Thank your parents for having the foresight to send you there.

Hi Cherrygal,
I was confused too, with all the quotes adding up. So in the end I decided to go backwards so as not to get the wrong person.

Hey Vicki, Thank God we all went to MS at Phase 2B and not wait till 2C. We >2kmers would suffer a terrible defeat at the ballots if we went in now...

Can somebody please share with me whether there is any balloting for Pei Chun at Phase 2B from 1-2km? Tried to search the information from the earlier posts but may have missed it.


Thanks.
