2009 P1 Registration Exercise for 2010 In-Take

Little_Princesses_LnK:

I had a very frustrating and disappointing experience at St Margarets Primary just now. Of the schools that I called, they were the only ones who refused to give me the number of exact places left. When I turned up personally, they still refused to give me the figures. The lady even said, \" You just have to register and wait. We dont have the figures.\" Therefore, I didnt want to take the risk and so didnt withdraw from Keming ( Registered at 2.30pm today. All the 93<1km got in and I am one of them. 1-2km balloting ) At 4.30pm, the lady at St Margs announced that 73 will ballot for 79 places! I am truly very upset over this incident. I would have withdrawn from Keming and tried balloting at SMPS if they had told me at least a rough figure. Was willing to let go of keming and try if balloting at SMPS not so risky. I dont understand why they didnt want to say. Should I check with MOE if what they did was right? I was calling them many times from 12pm and their answer was the same. ( \"This is the general office and We dont know anything because the registration is taking place in the hall\" ) What kind of an answer is that? The general office has no updates? I spoke to a fellow mum who was there waiting to hear if there'll be balloting and she said some walked out because they refused to tell the numbers. Anyone there who had similar experience?

My initially choice was st marg & was there for the last 2 days personally. If not for this \"I don't know\" comment which makes me worried (especially that Indian admin staff)... Can't risk to go thro' ballot.

I was very frustrated as well cos i even asked them how many applications they got for since 2pm on last day - but still \"don't know\" attitude). We had no choice but left at 3.30pm to rush to another school to register based on the actual situation.

They just simply can't understand how parents feel during that \"very crucial moment\".

Was disappointed can't register my girl into st marg.

Congrats to those who got in, it's a relief now.

actually with this type of attitude, you still want your kid to be enrolled into the school? :?
i think your kids deserve better. JMHO.

Balloting was done for more than 2km. I’m not involved but want to find out.

No worries, a letter will be sent to home address with the orientation date.
It's actually another copy of the same registration form that was filled out, but with the bottom part signed by principal and some info added in.
