Steffie:
Assume that all the 70 fall within the same distance category. If P2C requires balloting for the same distance category, the 20 who didn't manage to get a place in P2B will have to decide whether they still want to register with the school and participate in the balloting.May I chk with you..if for eg, in phase 2b, there r 50 vacancies and 70 applicants, what happens to the 20 ppl who dont get in after balloting?
Do they automatically go into phase 2c n get priority over applicants in 2c? Which means they may get to ballot again?
I get different answers fr different ppl so I'm hope someone can clarify my doubts.. ;(
It is not an automatic thing, and there is no priority in P2C apart from distance. The ability to participate in P2B gives you two opportunities to have a try at the school.
However, in the event that the child doesn't get a place after balloting in P2B and P2C, the parents have the choice of placing the child in the waitlist of the school. If the parents were PVs of the school, the school might place the child higher on the waitlist. But, as far as P2C is concern, NO priority over other applicants in the same distance category. -
Thank u for ur verification.

Usually how many SHHK letters are issued each year? I am also a PV. I am trying very hard not to feel disappointed if I didn’t get in for Phase 2b after volunteering for 50hours…

Wish you best of luck. Hope that with all the effort that you've put in, your child get a place in the school. I personally believe that is only fair.
Heard the chance this year is around 50%. If more people decide not to try to their luck, the chance will increase further. -
Dear MMM, thank you for the kind words and info.=)

Oh dear…it is going to be so tough…I remembered I was there during the PV balloting for Tao Nan last year, I did not get it and we cried for that! Today, after one year, I guess it was really God’s plan for us because even if we got to do PV, and pay for a house < 1km, we still need to ballot…
I truly feel for the parents there…hang on there, I wish each and everyone of you best of luck…
