Ready for battle, 156 applied for 80 seats. ..more exciting than GE. . . .[/quote]Yup, and they are all the <1km residents. I called up on the 1st day just to inquire and was told not to come down at all since we live 1.2km away. Basically not even a chance. So, St Gabriel's stays.ChiefKiasu:
[quote=\"buzybuzz\"]Hi, is the avg APP solely based on the app by parents who are <1km for Rosyth. I note that there are 80 vacancies available for phase 2C, one of the highest to date, and am expecting 2X the no of application.
I think you are right. For Rosyth this year, likely to ballot within 1km, and with a 1 in 2 chance.

The good news is that there is a definite downward trend in demand for Rosyth through the years, and especially so for this year in Phases up to Phase 2B, so it is possible that it may go below 200% this year.
Hi Chief, I have the same reading as you. Would like to hear your personal view on this trend? pm me if necessary.
Btw my son is in next year under 2B.
Also, for those who intend to shift near the school, do consider carefully.
As the single session change will result in demand for more classroom space and if vertical expansion is not feasible, a relocation option may kick in. Anything is possible to happen.
IMHO. -

Oh... my analysis is purely technical. From the numbers, the APP in Phase 2C has dropped from 441% in 2006 to 214% this year, and the fall has been consistent. This is indicative of falling demand. But even so, the chance of getting into Rosyth in Phase 2C is still 2 to 1 and requires less than 1km.Hi Chief, I have the same reading as you.

Why does there appear to be a fall in demand? You will need parents with kids in Rosyth to tell you that. -

Yes, I can see that too and this apply to all phases since 2006 (the datas that I can see here).
And 2 to 1 in Phase 2C this year is just the ratio, the actual no. is declining. The demand is actually falling. Why?? -

I can think of a few reasons:
1) birth rate is falling
2) parents are more informed (credit to KSP website) and plan ahead given that Rosyth is so competitive, less and less people willing to take the chance in balloting (1 in 4 situation).
3) parents are worried about their kid not being able to cope in Rosyth -
