2011 P1 Registration Exercise for 2012 In-Take

[chooz]

Yup, there is no guarantee for PVs even for popular schools…

All PVs have of cos contributed hardwork and precious time in order for their kid to have a chance into good school. And of cos, they have their stand.
But as parents of kids who fall in Phase 2C, understand our stand too…
Pls take no offence, everyone… I thought forums are for sharing thoughts and discussion…

@gksmummy:

Me looking at AT. 2nd one is a girl, so taking her into consideration for this enrollment. Hubby fr boy sch, could hv put sonny in there. But didn’t cos apparently, standards for that school dropped significantly…

chooz:

I couldn't volunteer cos I was expecting my 2nd and full time mother. Then I have no affiliations with clans etc....

50% of the available vacancies in the sch I'm looking at now is allotted for Phase 2C already. Then those remainder volunteer parents who could not register in 2B will be registering in the same phase as my kiddo...
In a way, I don't know if they will be balloted 1st or those within 1km, which I fall in....

P2C there is no priority for parent volunteers. They will have to join in al other applicants and decided based on their distance. If the ballot is for within 1km and the parent volunteer is 1-2km, he will not have chance for ballot at all.

Since you are within 1km, you will definitely have chance to ballot. The success rate is dependent on # of applicants within 1km.

[quote=\"chooz\"]@gksmummy... Same dilemma....

BT one thing I find unfair is that if phase 2B requires balloting, remainders will be allowed to register in phase 2C to \"compete\" with us who has no affiliations and cannot afford time to volunteer.... =(

Why do you find it unfair??

Hi LKVM,

I can't answer for chooz but will like to say that i find it a little unfair too because we are staying so near to the school and some of the alumni and ex students may no longer be staying near the sch... of cos, its gd to foster sch spirit and culture, but isn't convenience for the child when they are studying more impt than anything else?

It;s high time that certain ministry reviews this... not anyone's fault but just that its time for a clean up.[/quote]Difficult to say fair or unfair in situation like this. Every system has its pros and cons. Already all those staying near has priority in balloting in P2C. Others may also say unfair to give all priority to those staying near, else flats near school will all be snapped up and housing prices will go up. Always 2 sides to a coin.

Thank u so much for the clarification Pen88n. It’s my 1st time and I do not know how it works… Greatly appreciated!

Wow! We were so closed! I did remember a mother with a son, who spilled some Milo on his shirt...was that you? So near, yet so far! I was in pink t-shirt and black pants! Anyway, we shd be good...hope to see you soon in the orientation!

Haha yes my silly boy decided to squeeze the Milo pack. We waited so long that the Milo on his shirt dried up.
