hi whether balloting would depends on the detail breakdown. As in number of applicants by distance. If say the 4 applicants just happens to be of a further distance, then these 4 will be unsuccessful, the others all successful, and no balloting.

anyone call up

Greenwood to chk?

[sesame]

If going by the moe numbers, really don’t think will end up balloting for under 1km. Cannot be all 123 applicants within 1km especially so when I see one 1-2km seated next to me on day 1 of registration. Likely for those 1-2km.

[bluemom]

called up Greenwood this morning, confirmed by them that all 123 applicants are less than 1km. They had already asked those 1-2km ppl to withdraw liao. Hiaz, sian hv to ballot

[sesame]

If withdraw now for those 1-2km, they also cannot register at other schools right? Sigh… I thought no need ballot. Anyone going down to see the process? Will they write the selected names on a board or something?

[bluemom]

the sch actually called the 1-2km ppls b4 4.30pm yesterday to withdraw so they can go to other sch to register.

[sesame]

Pity those parents actually... imagine last minute call to ask them to withdrawn and register at another school.... what if they cannot make it in time??


You reckon if there could be any chance that the school may consider increasing the number of vacancies to accomodate? Afterall, only 4 more leh... then we won't have to go through the hassle...
