May i ask why is it that in the past will flood to RGPS in the past? [quote=\"Luanee\"]Does nyps need to ballot within 1km this year for 2C? If so, staying 200m or 999m from the school doesnt make a difference...


Last time a lot of ppl out of 2km will flood to rgps when they realise the other schools they aiming for no chance liao, but this year no such choice any more..

Becoz in the past, it is one of the rare few 'more prestigious' school that conducts balloting in 2C for those staying out of 2km. So naturally if u are out of 2km from nyps, msg, hpps, phps etc and you realise u have no hope in those schools since they ballot within 1km or 1-2km, then u will flood to rgps. At least u get a balloting chance rather than zero chance in the other schools.[/quote]

Amen to that! I was trying to start looking around for parents (Starting from my daughter's pre-school at Pat's Schoolhouse as few of them are in this situation)... How do we meet to see the principal together?? I will definitely be e-mailing her..

rgps888:

ALL RGPS 2C parents: Please call the principal Mrs Yue Yuke Mun and plead with her to just accept the additional 2 girls.
It's not like it's 20. It's just as if there were 2 \"twin\" applicants. With more people calling, perhaps the principal can give it a thought.


Her email is [email protected]. Please all write to her.


Lionel Ong: Mrs. Yue is not in the school today. Will only be back tomorrow. Want to knock on her door tomorrow morning ?

I agree with you 100%. This stress is totally uncalled for. None of us ever expected this to happen. And more over, since the number only jumped within the last hour, we didn't even have time to respond (say to register at a lesser but still acceptable school).

Do double-check that email address, I believe her middle name was misspelt...
