Hi RRMummy


Yeah, long time no chat. Hee hee, u still remembered me.
Thanks for your comfort. Anyway, not much choice for me too, will go for another one unless there's miracle.

Ya indeed stressful JUST for enrolling a primary school. Thanks, will hang in there.

Wonder why not much ppl grumbling on the reduction of the intake , especially those PV in these hot schools, like Pei Hwa, RGS, Henry Park, West Grove, Rulang, Rosyth, Red Swastika etc......

Hi GSK,
:imsorry: - I did not start reading the thread but like to give you a :hugs: ...Understand the stressful period especially around this time of the year.

Do you mind share a little bit more with me - which school you aiming or already PV in? {Sorry if I am being too nosy :nailbite: :nailbite: }

Thanks, Champion and RRMummy. Yes, the chance is high since we live so near to the sch. The problem is - we don't speak Mandarin at home...and my kids are mixed race. Although they are learning Chinese out of their enrichment class and at pre-sch, I think it is really going to be a linguistic challenge to them if we were to put them in a sch like Poi Ching. Alternatively, we could consider St Hilda's, but the chance in getting into this overly-popular sch is slim...really slim...

You are most welcome.

I understand your dilemma.. :snuggles:

Do you have a Plan C?

Think I am going to take the risk and go ballot at St Hilda's rather than Poi Ching. Still think it's a better choice for my kids' holistic development. If unsuccessful, I have to go try other schs in Phase 2C Supp. What to do? Life is about making choices and taking risks...*sigh*

Maybe complaints only comes after \"unsuccessful\".


Sob sob.......

:snuggles:

Try to keep your spirits high... I know it is easier said than done.. ...when a door closes, a window opens somewhere...

and sometimes later you might find that this may be your silver lining after all...

Take care dear

It must have been difficult to have come to that conclusion.. :snuggles:

The other alternatively would be to register at Poi Ching first and then make up your mind about St Hilda's when you have seen the balloting risk.

Either way, it would still be best to decide on a Plan C so that you do not get too confused should the worst case scenario happens.

Good luck kidznme! :xedfingers:

Hi Champion
No prob. I'm aiming Rulang, going thru phase 2B by GRL. Reducing 30 from tat school, meaning the phase 2B will be lesser by 15. Last yr, vacancy left only 46, if using the same stat, it will be around 31 left. Reduction of 1/3 of the nos, which is quite alot. And I'm residing within 1-2km. Hope there's miracle.

Thanks for your concern.

Yes, I hope so. It could be a blessing in disguise. Anyway, now no more headache whether to choose or not. The MOE has decided for me.

Quite sickening the whole process. Sorry to say that.

Frankly speaking, a bit immuned, maybe recently quite busy with my work, so tat’s why u see me "disappear"


After the GE boundaries issue, so happy with those that has put into the voluntary work not being wasted (even thou this may not guarantee a place). But now with this unexpected issue, again unfairness for those voluntary. Why can’t decide to announce it before the school decided how many PVs to get or at least voluntary ppl are prepared for the worst. Is a bit too sudden news, but looks like only ME urggghhhhh.
