Anyone has any comments on Dazhong? From stats, this school is not popular at all. Why is the school so unpopular?

Dazhong is not popular maybe cos they are now at temporary holding site.
the new school building is undergoing major reconstruction and will only be ready by end next yr (according to their website).

[quote=\"alng\"]With Rulang reducing their intake by 1 class or 30, I estimate that about 50% of the PVs will not be successful at phase 2B this year. I am one of those unfortunate PVs.

then the school should have reduced the PV intake 2yrs back..... unless they want free labour....

I do not think they foresee this reduction, which is likely to be due to the school upgrading and getting ready for single session. They only accepted the PVs last Sep. Sigh![/quote]the school should be informed at least 2yrs back.... they have more than enough to make the adjustment for the PV intake since it was only last Sep....

I would like to ask how allocation is given ? say for eg, if a school only has 300 seats :


1A - 150 taken
2A - 50 taken

Will the balance 100 seats be shared among 2B and 2C ? If yes, how much they will allocate to 2B and 2C in general?

Meaning that after P2B, unsuccessful PV <2km will be treated as ordinary applicants in P2C. Haiz.. lakee sian…


But I find this way is not fair le.. since priority is given to nearest to furthest in P2B, should they being push out of P2B, they should be logically given privileged and also taken into account that they have contributed 40hr n above to school. Anyone agree with me ?

those who are unsuccessful in P2B can register in P2C but as u know P2C is open to a bigger group too.... i think all schools should have informed the PV right at the beginning that there is no gaurentee for a place in P2B in the case when the applicants is more than the vacancies...

i know this is cruel but is the fact and is set by moe... if we want to be in the game, this is the set of rules we have to follow....

It's never about fairness, it's about whether you have the guts to go for it should you need to ballot. Sian right? But that's the rule lor.

For PV, it's stated in the application form that there is no gaurantee the child will get a placement when the parent/s successfully complete the number of hours. There's the application from grassroots/clan/church (whichever is applicable) under P2B too, so to a certain extent, the school is not able to accurately predict the number of applicants.

The best possible situation is if the PV lives <1km of the school, then the PV will have 2 real chances. One at P2B and another chance at P2C, living <1km, the applicant will have a better chance than others. If still cannot get in, then it's fated, just not meant to be. As parents we have done what we could within our means. And we should be at peace with that and move on to the next challenge which is helping our child to handle primary education. If really cannot let go, then there's the waiting list.

No lah, today is still phase 1, you more kancheong than me.

[alng]

Under phase 2A2, a document is required to prove that one is a former student of the school, is the PSLE certificate acceptable? The primary school is printed on the PSLE certificate. Thanks.

Yes balance 100 will be divided into half and allocate to 2b and 2c.. so 50 each lor...

Thanks. Its real getting stressful years after years. Though the birth rate is still low, the number of bb born each year is increasing over the years !!

Can't believe we have to go thru this kind of stress...sigh..
