2010 P1 Registration Exercise for 2011 In-Take

[limlim]

hmm.. is it so difficult for the school to just add 1 more place?


btw, for those case of small over demand, do they pick the one that got in (picking 62 names) or the one that didn't get in (2 names)? Juz wondering whether schools do things \"efficiently\".....

[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]Schools definitely know by yesterday who stay within 1km. Pei Hwa, Nanyang, MGS are those facing ballot.
All the best to all parents who have to ballot.

And rgps has to ballot within 1km too, first time in history..

But 62 out of 64 is still a good bet. For such a good sch, I'm willing to wager on it. My colleague told me that during his time (another sch), 30 out of 31 balloting. The one that didn't make, her mum cried on the spot . So sad.[/quote]

I know what you mean by adding 1 more place. I hope that if it’s like 2 extra kids out of 64, then the school will be kind enough to take in those 2 based on compassion. Along the way, there will be kids leaving the school for reasons like parents posted overseas or migrating. My son’s year (2006) was HOT, but at P3, they are increased to 40 in a class.

So I think the principal should exercise compassion, discretion and common sense

In previous years, it is possible for the school to do that.
But this year onward, it is not possible because of the 2 slips that SC have.

Precisely, regardless of whether that child is PR or SC. It's already Phase 2C and staying within 1km. For 2 kids, surely the principal can spare that heartbreak. Even if news spread, I don't think anyone will be so heartless to say NOT to take in 2 kids.

Well. that depends thou.. maybe they have some guidelines to follow..? Or maybe it's regulated by MOE..

Because, afterall, there are many schools that still have vacancies.. Unless the parent can claim that within 1 km there is no other schools.. then maybe it's a compelling enough reason for the school to make an exception..?
