2009 P1 Registration Exercise for 2010 In-Take

smurf:

I know I can only apply 1 sch in any phase, what I mean is, if we qualify for 2B for BOTH schs, but in case if the 1st sch we want require balloting for <1km, can we jump ship to proceed to 2nd sch (since 2nd sch no need balloting) on the same or next day?

if you have 2 choices in Phase 2B, you should opt for the one that you have better chance of getting into. for some hot schools, you'll know whether need to ballot even before the closing date of Phase 2B. in this case, you can withdraw from Sch A and register in Sch B as long as Phase 2B registration is still ongoing. But for some schools, you won't know if there is balloting until after they tallied the results after the registration date has closed. in such case, you cannot jump ship as the registration phase is already closed.
clear?

hmm...say if my 1st sch need balloting at even <1km (actually it's cath high lah)...but I stay darn far, definitely >2km...so if I join the balloting group (for >2km) and didn't manage to get a seat...can I quickly jump ship on the same day to another sch??? or the result will come out at the same time same day?


ah, this thing is making me headache man! :stupid:

:? i thought my previous explanation is clear enough.
anyway, all balloting will only be carried out after the phase registration is closed. does that answer your questions? however despite that, depends on the take up rate DURING registration, sometimes, it is already clear if balloting is needed for that particular phase (ie for 50seats vacancies, already have 60 applicants staying within 1km), even before actual balloting takes place (ie after registration is CLOSED).
and if sch A already need balloting for <1km, you staying at more than 2km will not even get to ballot...cos since places already insufficient for those staying less than 1km where got vacancies left for those more than 1km?

Hi Jedamum,


sorry, didn't read your post properly. :oops: haha.thanks for the detailed explanation.

actually hor, I think if a child enter an affliated sch, doesn't mean he can 'promote' to affiliated sec sch. it depends on the PSLE results. being affliated only mean it is easier but not guaranteed.

Hi Jedamum,


In my case how to go about it since I in Phase 2B?

Radin Mas (1Km to 2Km)
River Valley (More than 2 Km)

Check from past balloting history that Phase 2B do stands good chance to get in? I should wait on the 2nd day at the last hour then enroll? Instead of doing withdraw & then run like 100m sprint to the next school?

Hi,


May I know what happens if the address of daddy’s and mummy’s NRIC is different but daddy’s NRIC address is same as what is stated on the BC but mummy’s is not?

Does mummy need to change back the address in the NRIC? What happens if mummy did not change the address on the NRIC?

Titank, both Radin Mas and RV did not conduct balloting under phase 2B for the past 3 years, so u should be quite safe. IF you want to wait till last minute then register, do note that you only have one set of original documents, hence u would need rush to 2nd choice school if need be. If you do the withdrawal method, then u can station each parent at one school.

SMurf, if u stay out of 2km from CH, I think u can forget about it totally. U wont even get a chance to ballot.
