Thanks for the quick reply. So the school will wait for all the application until July 29 before they can do the balloting?

Yup, only until all registration is in by end of July 29, will they announce if and when balloting will be conducted. A balloting date will be given and then you can choose either to be present or not.

I saw quite a number of Rulang students staying out of 1km from the school and their sibling still can entitled for Phase 1 and those former students taking advantage also while they staying more than 2km , don't you think that something is wrong in our system. I think our Ministry need to look into this matter seriously before matter get worse!

I dun see wat is wrong with sibling in the same sch even if they stay more than 2 km.
Students or former students have all contribute to make wat the sch is today. For eg , student may have participate in fund raising for the sch or getting awards ( sports etc) n cultivate a high standard in a particular CCA which many parents would consider when registering their p1 kids.

Those that are less than 1km from Rulang = also 1km from Shuqun...so...

ok, so no need to go there on the first day of Phase 2C for registration if there will be a balloting to be done anyway?

If the number continue to increase each year , will it reach a point where there will be no vacancies by 2A(2)?

there are a few schools with less than 40 seats after phase 2a2 this year and this is not even the year for dragon babies. Coupled with the increase in PRs, it is quite possible for phases 1 and 2 to take up another 30+ seats! We might been seeing this soon.

That's quite true. So if you are in P2C, it will voice down to how much risk you want to take for getting a school which is <1km from your house. Last year, when I checked the chances of getting in under <1km balloting, it was 1:3 for Rulang and 1:1.X for Shuqun. I opted for Shuqun since I want to have a higher chance to get my DD into a school which is closer to home.

Rulang's P said that the reduction of one class was to plan for single session and ultimately all the schools should have about 240-270 vacancies. But that begs a question why they did not reduce the no of PVs. The current no is the same as the year before. So far from people I talk to, many will be trying for Frontier.


Rulang is meeting PVs from 1-2 km tomorrow morning. Think will be the similar message.

wah, i didn't receive any email from KSP abt updates for the Jurong West Pr sch thread and now I hv to catch up so many pgs!

i just read till this page, and very :shock: :scared: :yikes:

do u mean that all those PVs at the mtg at Rulang said they will try for Frontier? wah, now i starting to stress...

i don't like stress, always try and avoid, that's why for ds1 chose CPS and now Frontier for ds2, thought most likely sure get in.
