Rulang Primary

[GSK]

Should I go for Rulang or Shuqun for this year registration, under Phase 2B, and I’m staying 1-2km? I’m worried I might not get into balloting exercise if I chose Rulang, even I hv 2 tickets balloting. Any mummies here can advise?

Hi GSK,

It's really hard to say except that your risk will be higher in Rulang than Shuqun for sure. Last year, only those living more than 2km went on to ballot.

But, just wondering since the recent GE, the many blocks around the Rulang and market area were all changed from West Coast GRC to Jurong GRC. Does this change of boundary affect your recommendation letter for Phase 2B?

Hi


Anyone here know's the no. of PVs staying within 1km, 1-2km and beyond 2km for this year registration.

Thanks

The school will not commit this info as they are also unsure. There is always a possibility of parents moving home or making stat declaration. So until the last day of registration the school did not commit this number; not last year at least.

Just to prepare you also, don't put any hopes in finding out any of such info during the 2-days of registration. Office will not disclose the current breakdrown situation as seen in some other schools. Uhmmm... and no boards that you can bio also...

It was really nerve-wrecking!! :nailbite: :rant:

Good luck!!

Sorry kaypoh here, some schs do disclose. Last yr at PH, the sch admin willingly told me over the phone the number of applicants at P2B broken down by distance, at the end of each of the 2 days.

I know that there are people with more than one P2B priority place (eg PV plus church member). So this info will help greatly in calculating the risk-benefit analysis.

Hi RRMummy
Yes, the risk will be higher in Rulang. And last 2 yrs, seems to be balloting beyond 2km.

Oh I din know those in the market area used to be west coast grc, as Rulang are in Jurong GRC. All along, I'm in jurong GRC, so I think I'm qualified for that.

Thanks for your replied.

Hi RRMummy

Thanks for your good luck. Is indeed nerve-wrecking. :nailbite:
Agreed with u on the moving house one, but just want to know the estimated numbers only. And wondering will Rulang for this yr registration, did they accept those PVs beyond 1km, or they chose those staying within 1km. If all 50 PVs are within 1km, then dun need to say liao, but if there's PVs beyond 1km, at least from there I can monitor after the left over from phase 2a.

Thank you.

I actually doubt that all 50 under 1km but really no idea as tto the actual breakdown though... can only get a better idea from someone who has served PV for the registration 2011.

gsk[/quote]Hi GSK,

Do you know the number of PVs for this year's registration? I remembered during 2008, the school did not know how many PVs were from the RCs. RC volunteers get 1st priority over Rulang PVs. In 2008, there were 45 PVs from Rulang and 10 from the RCs. I was one of the 15 that were outside of 2km. But thankfully, my DS got in as they had enough space in Phase 2B.

Good luck!
