[snowflake]

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…

Well,I am not surprised! Too risky if you dont know how many places left, thats why maybe many didnt register. Gd luck to you anyway!

hi Little princess,


I was there at 9.10am and when i left st Margt the vancacies were left about 21.Based on last 2 days figures, we actually can guaged that St Margt might have to ballot for >2km should more parents come in in the afternoon.
I called at 12noon and the clerk actually told me very nicely that there they left abt 11 seats. I estimated that the balance 11 seats will be taken up soon when the rest come in after 2.30pm but it should not exceed by too much as the staff told me that all PC will be shut down by 4.30pm.
I called again at 5.10pm and was told that there were 5 exceeded the quota.

Frankly, I think most of us stand quite a good chance compared to many many popular schools that exceed few times of their quota.

I guess when the time some of you went there was already quite late and all the staffs were already very tired to answer all questions.Many parents probably pressurised the staffs for info and everyone was very stressful at that time. Perhaps you can still put your gal’s name on waiting lists.I heard from my fenz from another school that there will be ppl withdraw last minute b4 sch open for watever reason.

Good luck.

Yes....maybe will waitlist....the thing that frustrates me is the \"not sure, we are not in the hall\" answer that was told to me twice since 12pm over the phone. Anyway, its over...Life has to go on!

How can the parents know of all those who cheat? There is no way. In fact, just to blow the whistle on 1 parent when there are so many that get away because no parent know that they have done so is really unfair (basically, no parent who cheat will let other parents know. Those who got leaked is just by coincidence and most likely only a few can be detected while the majority go undetected). So, to be fair, MOE should just check all parents' address under phase 2C where distance determines whether their kids get in or not. To just say no resource is simply just an excuse. If we tolerate this, soon when you get mugged, the police can also say petty crime, no resource to investigate because \"nobody see the mugger, you go find somebody who see the mugger and give us a picture then we can investigate\". Somebody get knocked down by cars which then disappeared, traffic police said \"no resource to investigate since nobody see the car's plate. Go get somebody to tell us the car plate number then we can investigate\". Is that what we want to degenerate to?

MOE needs people who know of such cases to blow the whistle, they do not have the resource to check & monitor all the students' addresses ..
