yes, i think your decision is wise. both west grove and frontier def have to ballot.

me, see above, my reply to LKVM, same page.

CPS still has quite a number of seats so your husband's plan might work esp if you have two ballot slips. All the best!

yes, we have 2 slips. I thought within 1km definitely safe. But so many within 1km. Really based on luck now...

:thankyou:

hi alng,

i have just replied the same qn a few messages earlier :-). Already reg for Jurong under 2a2 but have been monitoring FPS and WG as they are nearer my home. Think we will stay put at JPS now as no chance at FPS and have to ballot at WG.

:?

So far, I have heard three reasons:

1) Single session
2) Hand picked teachers, Principal quite good
3) Rather go to an untested school then to go to a tested average school - this is a good one

Hi,

Any comment on pioneer and corporation?
Now have to decide for my planB… I was so shock to see the figure for Frontier which is my planB.
Very stress, I have registered West Grove which need to ballot:(

Then how to make/change decision based on up to date stats? I saw one previous thread saying hb and wife stayed in two diff schools and kept each other updated ... Will the school post the latest info such as no. of registration ?

RRMummy:

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

It is allowed.

All the last minute still need to take into consideration the logistics and time required to withdraw from previous school and subsequently register in the new school.

Statistics provided by MOE is updated past the closing time of that day so it would be accurate as of closing time. So sometimes it may appear that if you track back, there may be some change in the # for previous Phases or between the different days in the same Phase.

Most huge changes normally occur if the responsible school calls up to parents to deregister and try else where since they confirm no chance in balloting and would end up wasting their Phase 2C chance.
