This year, schs have already cut down by a class and at least another 1 class in the coming years as an effort to move all pri schs to single session schs. So logically, more schs are needed to fill in gap.

I agree..

QUICK come hide together behind my shield!

Watch out for the on-coming stones

[quote=\"allandman\"]I've just registered this morning at 8 am at West Grove, my no. is 355. :skeptical:

Hi, are you residing less than 1km? Then you will have beta chance! Hereby wishing you all the best & good luck too! :rahrah:

Thanks! Yes, I'm residing within 1 km. They're already discouraging other applicants that is outside 1 km.[/quote]Good luck allandman! :xedfingers:

Do you already have your plan B and C?

bingjun.g:

should suggest MOE to give out data about the distances of all the applicants from their registered school :roll: if that is true, those ppl not registered will definitely know what school to choose liao

Great idea!! :rahrah:

Sure would reduce much pressure from parents and the poor staff who is answering the phone calls..

even the new school frontier primary has 5 in P2B so all of them should be GRL

mummyo:

jon00:

Even if you know the number of PV, you will probably not know the number of grassroot volunteers competing under same phase as PV. Still :stupid:

Totally agree. At the school I PV in, normally only 7-8 GRL will appear every year. That was the stats for the past few years. This year, suddenly got 13 GRLs! Plus the reduction in intake means have to ballot also. :stupid:

phtthp:

if Frontier parents can unite together in soul and spirit, form a powerful force in unity and forceful strength, write a letter to appeal to MOE to replicate the best teaching practises from Rulang, the best teaching methodology, the best teaching curriculum from Rulang, take whatever 'goodies' from Rulang, get HODs from Rulang to handhold new teachers in Frontier for a period of time, ie. dun waste time re-invent the wheel all over again ... then i believe one day, Frontier has a great potential to become Rulang (II) campus.

then if can't get into Rulang, never mind ... still got Frontier.

could it be single-session?

raisintan:

Hi,

Yah, I was really impressed with Frontier's enrolment rate! Can't be the school staff sotong, keyed in 227 applicants instead of vacancies right?

What's the selling point of this school? Did MOE send a solid team of teaching staff there to kickstart the school?

do you mean that ppl can register for say, school A at first day, and withdraw later say at day 2 to register for another, say school B?

LKVM:

RRMummy:

seems that this new school is getting lots more support than the existing ones :scratchhead:

I suspect ppl kiasu mah.. so register first then wait n watch... just my opinion lah.. thats why I said there will too many changes on the last day in Jurong!!

Yes, that is possible and some do it for various reasons.

It may be due to the fact that they have no chance to ballot since staying >2km or they see another school with relatively no/less risk of balloting etc etc...

Some even withdraw from their registration which was done in earlier phases..

[engp9337]

I mean to ask whether technically it is allowed to do so. But what if ppl all wait till last min? then the statistics might not be reliable
