XX2007:

is it the balance now devide by 2 ,half for 2b, and half for 2c to ballot?

Balance is divided by 2, 50% each for P2B and P2C. Whether balloting is required at all and for what distance is dependent on the number of applications.

this yr for P2B, how many parent volunteers for Nan Chiau ?

Surprisingly to see Nan chiau still have quite a plenty after 2A (2). good luck to those on 2b and 2c. It could be a win win situation for all this year

I have appied PV last year , but was rejected.......

136 vacancies left for Nan Chiau is a lot. Call up the school to find out what’s yr chance now.

how about Rivervale with 120 spots (60 for Phase 2C) and Compassvale 155 left. is the chances for within 1km higher than last year? I’m still pessimistic about getting into either one of them, and can’t decide which one is better.

If unlucky I can end up choosing other schools which is not walking distance from my place.

I did PV during last year’s phase 2C registration at CVPS. On the 1st day, > 120 registered for phase 2C and balloting was conducted for <1km.

Actually.. I am don't know what's so good about Nan Chiau.

Does it churn out more top PSLE children, or have good programmes?
Or it has the long history of Chinese heritage that will be imparted to the children?

My wife requested for a visit but was turned down rudely. She didn't even get the opportunity to find out the name of that person talking.. :spank: (it may not be the teacher.. we won't know).
That left us a very bad taste how our kid will be if he gets in.
We stay within 1km of the school and we have shortlisted couple of others that are also within 1km.

Before making a final decision... can anyone advise what's the advantage/benefit of getting into NC?
Btw, I'm not putting down the school.. just curious about it.
