Breakdown at SJIJ at the end of day 1 of P2C (50 vacancies):

<1km : 29 applicants
1-2km : 26 applicants
Ballot for 1-2km again
Thanks DW for the info! :thankyou:

The numbers as of the end of day 2:
<1km : 34 applicants
1-2km : 30 applicants

Seems like ACSJ going to ballot for <1km. Possible some of those who applied there for 1-2km may come over to SJIJ?

The numbers have changed again...
<1km : 42 applicants
1-2km : 34 applicants
Will there be 8 or more <1km applicants showing up this afternoon? :xedfingers:

Don’t follow the crowd and choose a school because it’s an top/elite school, choose the school because you know the environment will allow your child to thrive - you know your child best. Visit the school if possible, ask around, observe their students, understand their curriculum and CCA etc… and most importantly after you have decide upon one, don’t waiver just because you read somewhere on this forum so and so thinks this is bad and that is good…


All the best to worried parents out there, i know how it feels…

[/quote]Is is SJIJ or ACSJ?

[windie]

Acsj is at least 71 registered, a sure ballot case even within 1km. Dunno how many more Wil turn up this afternoon

Sjij no balloting within 1km, based on the figures
Above.

Saw Straits Times this morning on SCGS. This will be advertising for the school. I would expect the no. to exceed yesterday results.


Feel sorry for the 1 parent (>2km) who registered.

Just been to scgs to fetch my girl, saw at about 7-8 parents coming to reg at last mins during my 15 mins stay there. All the best to those who are balloting!

Where does all these ppl come out from? New PR/citizens? New condos around the area?
My DW thinks it may be a result of the introduction of the baby bonus thing a few yrs back...
