ya lor... yesterday, I was still talking to my friend can go INNVO for phase 2C next year for my son..VT:
WOW!! Innova has 200 applications for 2C for 158 places!!
Yah Innova is really the dark horse this year. First day only 53 applicants and second day we get 200 !! Those who got in last year without balloting must be laughing all the way liao, hee...
this morning wow... 200 leh.... -
Innova has 178 applications for 158 places at end of 2C, so I guess balloting is required. Can anyone advise, where to find the info on which group has to go through balloting, i.e. 1-2km, >2km? Thanks.

Hi… Will Woodgrove conduct balloting since the 2C phase exceed 8…(vacancy vs registration = 112 vs 120). Can anyone help…

The applicants for Innova was about 173 on Day 1 (I registered at about 4.20pm) but was told the staffs were too overwhelmed and no time to register all applicants to send to MOE by 6pm deadline. That's why on Day 2, jumped to 200 applicants. On Day 3 morning, those > 2km were called up to withdraw their applicants, so the # dropped to 178. No chance to ballot at all. Well I'm one of them
At least, they are kind enough to call us to withdraw our applications in the morning, thus allow us to register at another school before phase 2C ended at 4.30pm -
Sorry to hear that… yes, you’re right, I went at 2.30pm on Day 1 and ours was the 162 application. That’s why I was surprised to see on MOE’s website that only 53 had registered for Day 1… I suppose many parents who went on Day 2 thinking that they had a good chance actually might have gotten a rude shock!

I think you can call up the school...or they will call you by now if yours needs balloting..yours is within 1km or 1-2km? -
Yes, thanks, School informed that 35 (within 1-2km) willl ballot for 18 places on 11 Aug 09 at 9am. So it’s a 50-50 thing.

So Where did you end up registered? Did you get a cofirmed place already? -

Actually my requirement is very simple, I just need a morning session school. So after withdrew from Innova, went to Endeavour in Sembawang. Was told need to ballot. Don't feel like risking, so ended up in Wellington. Not sure why the school is not very popular, but the staff that deal with us was very warm and friendly. And they have an in-house after school care that cost about $220/mth. Just what I need
