Hi


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

Thanks
sk

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!!

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.

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 markfch
Yes I heard that too but hopefully Rulang will too.
Thanks for yr info.

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.

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!

gsk[/quote]Hi markfch!! Long time no chat.

Yup, I hear you but that is exactly what I'm trying to say. When I was registering for DD last year, there was no board and the school refuse to release any such info on current status as to how many in which distance category. So it was really agonizing...

I hope that they will be more willing to share this year.

Hi Silverhorse


Yes, someone told me tis yr PVs is 50. I doubt tat RC volunteer’s has the priority, as they are all falls under phase 2B.

Happy for u tat yr child gets in. U r so lucky.

As a parent, do u tink if an average child goes in, the child will find stress and difficulty in coping with the work, any advise.

Thanks

Hi silverhorse,

Sorry to interrupt, but this is not true. RC volunteers do not have any advantage over PVs and vise versa. It is equal chance for both groups under the Phase 2B. The only priority is due to home distance when demand is more than supply.

But congrats!! You were really lucky! :celebrate:

Hi SK,
So far, there are alot of homework given by the teachers ( he's in Pr 3 now), and he's been able to cope, except in March this year, he broke down and complained too much homework. I think the child faces stress from both the parents and the teachers. I guess its our education system in Singapore. I only can encourage and motivate him!

OK-- I may be wrong then ... sigh, the things we do for our children!
