Hi preciousjam,


Yep! See you on Orientation Day! You know even though I had gotten through in 2B, I was so tensed! I kept checking KP and the MOE webiste all day, didn't do much at work at all! Guess I'll have to compensate for the last three days next week!

So when do you get the precious letter? Also which block are you in?

i don't know when i'll receive letter....i'm staying at blk 239 luckily still within the 1km....its a great feeling.....i could not keep my mind on other things and yet i want to keep myself busy so i would not think about it.....already discussing plan B with hubby....
guess we should have a parent support group for beacon primary or is there one already? :lol:

can someone enlighten me:

I was at chij till 4.30pm and was told that there were 26 applicants for within 1 km and 39 for 1-2km making a total of 65 for a vacancy of 63. then this guy withdrawed his daughter s application at the eleventh hour and thus made it 64 for 63. we were told that balloting will be conducted . but when i checked the moe website, the no of vacancy was changed to 64. so does it mean we dont have to ballot anymore??? I will be so thrilled!!! anyone know anything???

I got my letter on the day the results were to be declared, so I guess you'll have to wait till 11 Aug. But you can still sleep in peace tonight!


I'm not too sure of a PSG in Beacon but just a few mins back I started a thread in the main forum under Primary Schools - Academic Support and Preparations. It's right at the top now asking for Beacon parents. We can have our own non offical PSG there - support each other....Then there is always the PSG at school.

Wow in this case everyone would be getting seats! Maybe the school didn't want to do balloting for 1 seat, so decided to get everyone in!


Congrats to all then at CHIJ. I know a friend of mine will be mighty pleased. Are you in 1-2 km? Which block?
