doryps,


I called them 1630hrs (exactly)…this is what they told me wor?! Maybe they will start calling us soon for the ballot again… keep me posted if they calls again okie?? tks!

doryps:

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]

Yes the only way is to call the school to check the breakdown of the distance. Of course if time permits & you have the stamina, by all means you can station at the school to have \"Live Updates\"

Hi There,

Could anyone advise me on my son's standing in his enrolment to SJI Junior next year; his father is an old boy of SJI and an alumni. Not sure if that will put him in good stead. Would appreciate your replies.

Runaway,
you should be able to find more information http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=487, especially after you analyse the \" Balloting History of Novena schools\" to find out more about your chance as an alumni of the school.
