Not only 2B but 2B less than 1 km also had to ballot. First time in history.

Thank you all. This is much appreciated!


Yes, MGS will be a tough battle to get in.

Hi,


Anyone can advise me abt increasing my chances of P1 registration?

First question.. I stay 1.3km fr Tao Nan, so will be aiming for TNS. If I become member of SHHK, is it enough to qualify into phase 2B for Tao Nan? Still need to ballot right?

Second question.. if I also become PV, will it increase my chances of Phase 2B for TNS? (considering I do not stay less than 1km fr TN).

Third question.. is getting and being successful in phase 2B a good chance for me since I stay 1-2km away fr TNS? And what else can/should I do to increase the chances?

Any mummies with the knowledge can advise me? tks!! :lol:

Depends. When is your child due for registration? For TNS, I believe you need to be a member of SHHK for 3-4 years before they will recommend you for P2B.

Based on this year's history, you may not even get the chance to ballot. Balloting was for those staying within 1 km. It is anticipated that future scenario will be similar to this year's.

If you are a member of SHHK and are recommended for P2B registration, being a PV doesn't increase your chance.

Like what I mentioned above, based on this year's history, you may not even have the chance to participate in the balloting.

You should move within 1 km of the school to get a chance at balloting.

Hi pumpkin_pie


Qms is right. Based on past statistics and trend, I too believe that only those staying within 1 km will be eligible to ballot in phase 2b (clan members, pv and grassroot leaders) and phase 2c. There are many new private apartments within 1 km.

So either you shift to within 1km to get a chance to ballot or you should start evaluating other schools.

[pumpkin_pie]

Wow.. TNS is that tough to get in now ah? Sounds really competitive.

Is it worth moving to within 1km? What if dun get in TNS still? Will be so wasted right.. My boy is 2008 kid...still early i know..hehee..but just ks and start reading up early.

What happens to those kids who do not stay within 1km to any school, nor are parents in any clan/PV/GRC? If everything need to ballot, will there be a scenerio where they dun get into any school at all?

Ok, how about this scenerio, I become member of SHHK, and I try for TNS and Kong Hwa? (both schs are within 1-2km) Can I use clan affiliations to get into both schools? Or can only choose 1? Usually how do we go about choosing schools? Got 1st, 2nd, 3rd choice during the P1 registration?

Tks so much for your replies...really helps when i only just read about these phases..and found out getting into a sch of ur choice is so tough.

when you request for \"recommendation letter\" from SHHK, you can only request for 1 specific school.


Clan members are in Phase 2B, and balloting is very likely to occur for within 1km in phase 2B, thus if you are 1-2km, you do not stand any chance at all.
