[Novena] Primary Schools

[Melodies]

It appeared that more and more people are living within 1 km to ACS nowsaday as compared to previous years. It used to have balloting within 1-2km in phase 2B but not anymore now.

I wonder why?

I wonder how many of these are genuinely living within 1km vacinity.

Similar to SCGS, I would expect there will be a drop in application for people are living within 1 km especially when the birthrate is one of the lowest for that year cohort..

I trust the MOE and schools will do the necessary check in order to be fair to those who are genuinely staying near to schools.

ACS (Primary) update:

There will be NO balloting for phase 2B (according to ACS website http://www.anglochineseprimary.net/) as the number of applicants staying within 1km is exactly the same as the number of vacancies (26).

Huh??? Got call from sjij this afternoon, they told me outside 2km no chance...asked me to withdraw. Does that mean they'll inform me on the balloting again (since I did not withdraw)?

I called at just before 4pm and the status at that time looked like this:

Within 1km: 23
1-2km: 38
> 2km: 14

This means in the last half an hour or so, about 14 withdrew their applications.

Its funny when the MOE web indicates total 2C vacancies as 59, but a check with sjij this morning, they say 2C vacancies only 57. They also said there will be balloting for 1-2km, as 40 are vying for 35 places. So those > 2km no chance liao.

Will need to find another school for 2CSupp. :?:

Hi, newbie here. Can someone please tell me is calling the school to ask for breakdown of numbers of applicants staying less than 1km, 1-2km and more than 2km from school the only way to monitor? Can I monitor by physically stationing at the school? Will the school chase me out? (crowd control) :? [/code]
