okie tks....saw it .....sigh.....wonder if many parents are undergoing immense 'trauma' like me thinking which pri school my ds can get into????? :? even hv nightmares at night with all these phases thingy... plus hubby says not to be so stressed la coz s'pore schools are all of an \"equal\" standard - be it branded or not. :lol:

We are in the same boat..... Just cannot bring myself to settle for just any school. I have mentioned before that all the schs I want are outside 2km. Only Princess E is 1-2km. What abt you? I live in Bkt Btk. Yrself?

I added up the number of kids registered as of 2A2 and found it to be 18565. Birth rate for 2003 was 37485…Just hoping that there wont be tough competition for 2C outside 2km! Any views?

sigh, if only \"care\" can overcome success rate in placing ds in school of choice.... :roll:

really, i wonder why all (or should i say most) parents have to go through all these agony???? till phase 2C is over, i cannot eat, sleep or think well....then if we r not successful in phase 2C, even worse coz we then hv to deal with phase 2C supp......and the list goes on if u even so 'sway' kena go into phase 3.....sigh sigh sigh..... :!:[/quote]baby2momma, you are scaring me leh....I dont want to go through all that! What should I do? This is a terrible feeling

Hi baby2momma, we r in the same boat! :faint: so stress with this registration process that i can't sleep for the past weeks since it started. Especially looking at no.s of vacancy dropping at each phase really stressful.

Hi hi Little_Princesses_LnK.... nope, i don't live in bukit batok but live in cck which also has high no. of children trying to get into 'non-branded but more popular' schools coz of the many many no. of young couples who start up their family in newer estates like cck...... and hence the reason why balloting is constantly quite a requirement for the few more popular schools....sigh. :x

Any views?[/quote]No, I think it is more likely dependent on individual schools....I thought of that too but if I analyse it together with the schools past year trend, the analysis of less birth rate in 2003 vs less competition for 2C/out 2km does not mix.....I juz feel that reducing the intake this year has made competition more stiff......or shld i say balloting more 'intensive'??

Hi dreamom, u can say that again about hving endless stress...i really even had nightmares....and i sorta passed on the nightmare to my hubby who asked me stop 'scaring' him with the no. of vacancies left for our school of choice.....

[dreammom]

:rotflmao: u know wat! Me too! I have been updating my \"cool\" hubby at every end of each phase...now he as stress as me! Not that I can help it...too stress up!

baby2momma:

are you already successful in your registration?? meaning

has the school confirmed a place for your child?
if the school is \"branded\", i'm sure many parents would thank
you for giving up the place.

Yes. consider \"branded\" school (Red swastika School) in bedok but I'm staying at Hougang. I didn't want to give up the chance phase 2A2. worried that phase 2C need to ballot at neighbourhood school.

history from past year registration showed most of the good school need ballot for within 1km. it is better to choose school within 1km. if u really want to try to go to school outside 2km, then u need to register on the 3rd day. find out the numbers of people register for that school. The scholl will advise u the chance or getting in or straight away ask u to register those school that within 1km.

Yes. Angelevildevil is right. even though the take up no.s are only 50% of the total birth rate as for 2003…there will still be heat competition among the "brand" & good schools and according to past history, there will sure be ballotting required within 1km.
