          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.

                It might be the trend for popular schools with sec and jc affliations.[/quote]P2A2 need to ballot mean there is no vacancies for P2B and P2C. In that case, it becomes more impt for parents to be alumni of good schools, if they want their kids to be in that school.

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

                    Honestly, I just cannot understand why there is a Phase 2A1 and 2A2.

                    For both phases, the parent must be a former student. Phase 2A2 is for staff of the school of choice. For schools without alumni, parents will register under this category.

                    I wanted to join alumni (kiasi) before registering my daughter for P1...but a parent in alumni told me there is no need to do so (99% guaranteed). Understand that other than Phase 1 where there is confirmed place, subsequent phases may have to ballot if demand exceeds supply. I stay more than 2km away, so very worried last year šŸ˜“

                      Maybe they want to add more criteria for 2A1 and 2A2
