I mean those parents whose school has close down should be given another school so that they can have a chance to be under P2A. If they don't want that chance then that's fine. As for me I actually stay quite far away from my once pri school, but I moved closer to the school to solve the travelling issues. Didn't want to take the risk of being in P2C or 2B. Very stress!

But how to determine the replacement choice for this group? Distance from home to existing schools in the vicinity?

Yap! Wouldn't that be a good idea?

Agree !!!
I was prev from Swiss Cottage Primary. A pity it has closed down, or I could register son under Phase 2A...don't have to go through the stress of writing in to be a PV.
If our primary schools are still around, parents could just register their kids under 2A automatically. Problems would be greatly reduced with just PRs (if didn't study here) and new citizens.

So weird,


Janet_lee88, I only see your post for this topic... :?

P2A also depends if your home is near the school and you are ok to move near your school....

P2A1 and P2A2 has never need to be ballot. I could not see the reason why there is a need to seperate them? Any idea?

CHS came extremely close last year, with only 18 places left after 2A2.
So who's to say there won't be a need to ballot for 2A2 in the future?

It might be the trend for popular schools with sec and jc affliations.

my otherwise not-ks friends went to join alumni after that alarming year....and they are not due to register until some years down the road. So I would think that all of a sudden, (popular) schools will find themselves inundated with alumni.

I remembered reading the top PSLE student 2010 attend Learning Lab.
