South View is now rising and is even better than De La Salle. Look at the PSLE Results and the recent acheivements that South View has been getting over De La Salle. Although De La Salle is considered a good school, but South View is taking over De La Salle. It is also more popular, and accepts more people than De La Salle. CCK is not bad, but cannot be compared to the two premier schools.[/quote]Latest phase2B balloting category update from MOE website:
http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/balloting/

Only Southview and catholic high to conduct balloting for those who stay within 1KM.
Hence, those stay beyond 1KM NO chance for balloting at all.
Those who make Statutory Declaration for kid taken care by Grandparent, also have no chance.

Year 2003 national birth-rate : 37485
Year 2004 national birht-rate : 37174.

So...next year would likely see same situation again, as number of vacancies would not increase for next year Pri 1 registration.

Dear All:


I saw this fr today Chinese newspaper.

SV’s got 52 seats for 2B and 67 applicants. However, there are 53 appliacnts who stayed < 1KM, the principal said there will be 1 parent out after the balloting. If i am the "one", i think i will cry non-stop and go to buy TOTO and sure kena one.

Yes indeed... you will have to be really lucky to be the ONE. Maybe they should just do reverse balloting: do 1 ballot and pick out the \"lucky\" person to be opted out, give the guy a prize for his/her efforts, and save people from having disappointing heartaches 52 times over.

That is a brilliant idea ....should suggest to the school.. save time for everyone :lol:

If i am one of the 53 parents, i am not sure whether to present to the balloting or not, just worry that i am the "ONE" and when the name being read out, then u will see all the happy faces surrounding you, and the worst case scenario is all of them know you are the lucky "ONE". Or just walk out slowly, with smilling face and pretend you are not the "ONE".

Nope, oneheart. The system is all brain (logic) and no heart when it comes to P1 registration.
