am i suprised so many registrations for this year..suprising Henry park not that much registration...

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.

What to do. Time for tikam tikam.

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?

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.

School just called. Its 62 vying for 55 places. Sigh. Why don't they just pick the 7 unlucky parents and get it over with! 8P

so stress man…gonna ballot… hiazzz

[Poohbear]

Oh that means there r 3 parents > 1km who didnt withdraw. :?


Do also note that out of the 62, there are 2 pairs of twins using single ID. That means if either 1 gets it, the other will also get it. So the vacancies effectively reduce by 2 if the twins are picked :shock:

All the best as we go thru the balloting next Fri

Don't forget SG citizens are given 2 slips during the ballot. If they do that, chances of citizens being kicked out doubles as well.

Erm... since the twins are under single ID, do they get 2 or 4 balloting slips?

Will they offer one more place if so happen the last name pick up is a twin? :?
