KSP:

Today is the last day of 2C battle. If you are aiming for a popular school and can't get in this round. You can say bye-bye to 99.99% of other popular schools in 2C Sup because they will all be taken up by then. So squeeze all your brain juice and use whatever strategic plans you have by today. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Just to side-track a bit, KSP, how did u get ur dd into her school last year? Did you undergo the balloting?

2B thru PVG. I think how the school works is first-register-first-in method. That is those registered under phase 1 are in class 1A, 1B and 1C. Those in phase 2A1, 2A2 are in class 1D, 1E and so on. So my DD class should be all the PVs.

I think only half the class are PVs.

but how to be placed on waiting list ? I was under the impression (from my friend) if you don't apply to the school, the chance of appealing may be low. So if I withdraw, is it not the same as never apply before, thus, lower my chance of appeal ?

As far as I know, this is not true. Last year, my fnd registered her daughter at her hb's primary school during phase 1 and concurrently put her name at the preferred school's waiting list. She called a call somewhere in Dec 2008 and was offered a seat. No relationship or special talent, just pure luck and within 1km that's all!

Any updates on RGPS & St Margt numbers?

Very surprised that as of yesterday, 30 Jul, Kong Hwa still has 11 vacancies available for phase 2C, whereas some of the neighbourhood schools are already in balloting situations.

Why people don't withdraw ?


If there are 50 spaces left and 70 registered.

Among the 70, 60 are under 1KM, why doesn't the other 10 withdraw ?

Dizzyguy, some people are just (1) clueless, (2) boh-chap or (3) boh-bian. Some do not have alternate choice so they just leave it be. Some are waiting for a miracle to happen. Some are hoping that the school would put them on higher waiting list priority if they stick to it. And some just dont buy the 'distance' thingee at all, no matter how much u explain it to them...

I believe parents that fall under this category will withdraw if informed by the school unless they are really bochup or really dun have an alternative (which is strange to me). By doing nothing, you really need a miracle.

But this group of people still exist every year...

Similary, RGPS still have 15 vacancies available as of yesterday evening. You'll see the real action taking place today man!
