Think all activities stop for Unity. The rest will be deciding between YT and DLS.[quote]

hmmm....i may think those who registered at YT is overflow fm unity coz
most of ppl stay w/n 1km between these 2 schools. so mebbe ppl will withdraw out fm YT to try unity tomm....

[/quote]doubt so cos YT somehow this year become the 'hot' school. I tend to believe they will continue their 'hot' streak. Another predication for Unity is 92 ... 2 more cases but not withdraw from YT.

Anyway not much difference between Unity & YT. The only difference is distance. If I still nearer to Unity, I will sure register for Unity since eventually the chance is going to be better. I think those near to Unity initially tot YT to be safer bet. Alot are overflow when they saw Unity to reach 90 in the 1st day morning. Probably registered and forgot about it. That's why i doubt they will switch.

Probably shock when they realise how 'hot' YT is this year and need to ballot. More shocking if they realise their chances r lower than in Unity.

The only difference is with the tier-1 school which remains so 'cool' this year. Please stay 'cool'.

But if after including the twins or triplets, we get a cut-off situation, then the school will also have to accomodate the extra students rite?

That's a good question. It has an easy answer for Phase 2B, since those twins will simply consume places in Phase 2C. But for Phase 2C, there are no more places for them to consume in a potential cut-off situation. I'm not sure how MOE would judge this case - to either force the ballot or to increase enrollment. Need to throw this question to MOE.

But chief, HPPS accepted 55 students for 53 places in phase 2C last year within 1km, coz there were a pair of twins and triplets. Hence no balloting last year. They even publish that info on their website.

Excellent, Luanee. So now we can be sure that the \"twins\" rule also apply for Phase 2C.

The total enrolment was actually increased from 330 to 332 to accomodate the twins/triplets. Which means it is possible to squeeze in a few extra tables/chairs techinically, but cannot be done in principle...

Morning Ladies,


Have you made any contingency plan for your 2nd choice? I have discussed with husband about it. CCKPS is more than 1 km from our home, so…the 2nd choice whould be KPS. Heard than this school keep changing of Principal for these few years. Anyone have more info about this school?

[Anna Ng]

Dear Star89:

Me too. If out via balloting, my second choice will be Kranji as CCKPS is more than 1KM this school left few seats only as at yesterday. U r going to register with DLS, right?

Yes, i heard about the Principal also. Anyway, we seem like no choice already, since Unity, YT, DLS & SV sure will not have any seats after P2C. Unless u want to consider Teck Whye PS which is not so near to us.

Good Luck to all

Good morning

I am very interested in the posting for the 3 schools, Unity, YT and DLS. Just got the following from the MOE website, and compute the chances of getting in the respective school.

Total Vacancy
DLS 270
Unity 210
YT 270
Kranji 270

P2C Vacancy
DLS 102
Unity 67
YT 117
Kranji 186

#registered P2C
DLS 113
Unity 94
YT 128
Kranji 27

Chances
DLS 90.3%
Unity 71.3%
YT 91.4%
Kranji 688.9%

Seems those registering for Unity had the least chance of getting in. This is probably due to the initial total vacancy of only 210 (due to cutting down 2 classes).

Was wondering why Unity decrease by 60places for P1?
Will this number (210) remains constant for the P1 intake the next few years?
If so, this means that there is going to be a drastic decrease of the school population (P2 only 210students, P1 only 210 students - total net decrease of 120 students for year 2011)

Anyone has any theory why? :siao:
