i was at st magaret’s to check what’s the status. At 4.55pm, it was announced that >2km, there are 79 applicants, so 6 parents will be disappointed during balloting…

I had a very frustrating and disappointing experience at St Margarets Primary just now. Of the schools that I called, they were the only ones who refused to give me the number of exact places left. When I turned up personally, they still refused to give me the figures. The lady even said, " You just have to register and wait. We dont have the figures." Therefore, I didnt want to take the risk and so didnt withdraw from Keming ( Registered at 2.30pm today. All the 93<1km got in and I am one of them. 1-2km balloting ) At 4.30pm, the lady at St Margs announced that 73 will ballot for 79 places! I am truly very upset over this incident. I would have withdrawn from Keming and tried balloting at SMPS if they had told me at least a rough figure. Was willing to let go of keming and try if balloting at SMPS not so risky. I dont understand why they didnt want to say. Should I check with MOE if what they did was right? I was calling them many times from 12pm and their answer was the same. ( "This is the general office and We dont know anything because the registration is taking place in the hall" ) What kind of an answer is that? The general office has no updates? I spoke to a fellow mum who was there waiting to hear if there’ll be balloting and she said some walked out because they refused to tell the numbers. Anyone there who had similar experience?

Hi Little Princesses Lnk, It was the same at Kwong hwa, they didn’t want to reveal the figures we called at 12 noon and also went there at 2.30pm - so i guess it’s not only St Magaret’s, Kwong Hwa said its to be fair to all parents… btw, does it mean you’ve already gotten a place in Keming?? if so, then it’s still congrats to you… u don’t have to have ano 11 sleepless nights…

Yes...I am in but I really want my girl to be in a girls school you see. Thats why I am still upset. I was nearly in tears...and still trying to come to terms with it. I may still waitlist in some of the girls schools. Can i waitlist at a few at the same time? -
Yes we are, considering that the odds are not too bad… 79 for 73 places. Funny thing though, we were there from 2:30, when they had 11 places left, till the ends and did not witness so many registrations…
