I too didn't succeed in balloting. More disappointment than anything else. Balloting is all about luck. Now just have to move on to trying out Plan B next week. Have to face my child later and am sure the question about the school will come up. Just going to remain positive and calm...

Sorry to hear that it did not work out for your too kidznme. :snuggles:

You have our full support. Shout if you need us and best of luck! :xedfingers:

trying to overcome my disappointment... but very thankful with what RRMummy says below....

RRMummy:

I know of many whom despite a disappointing registration last year, are very happy with their child's current school and progress now

as well as Lexy's:

Lexy:

Most importantly is how you prepare her and walk the school journey with her that matters will matter most to her.

thanks to all for the well wishes, cheers & lucks... i will kambateh!!

err... a question, for P2Csupp, will there be balloting again if applicants exceeds vacancies...

[kidznme]

@RRMummy: thanks. I know I am not alone. Just need to move on now and hope that our 2nd choice is worth our try and that we succeed next week! It’s just the beginning of a long journey…so stress level will go up starting next year!

So sorry to hear that.

On your question, there will be balloting if applicants exceeds vacancies.
There should be limited choices left, and within that will need to make another choice.

[kidznme]

@poppy15: yes! If oversubsribed in phase 2CS, there will be balloting done…

Thanks, KiasuGrandMaster IV...


Will now consider 2 other schools in the area but they wouldn't be within walking distance.

I'm trying to overcome my disappointment & anger (anger maybe not!), & would be as normal when fetching my child later in the evening.

Ultimately, I wouldn't want to show her my disappointment, and start her on a wrong footing by giving her impression that she would be going into a 2nd choice, inferior school...

Definitely will feel disappointment in unsuccessful ballot, but glad to know that you are practical and that you have plan B in-place that you will carry out.

All the best for your next step. I am sure your gal will do well in whichever school with strong parents like you supporting her. As you progress thru' the primary school levels, you will find that it really doesn't matter that much whichever school your kids attend, as long as your kids acquire the right learning attitude and you as parents are there to provide the guidance and support. This is my personal experience and opinion.

So sorry for you, poppy15 :snuggles:

Yes, it is not all lost when you do not get the 1st choice. There are many many living examples. Take some time to let yourself vent the frustration / anger/ disappointment. Then brace yourself for the next Phase.

Indeed, any over-subsription will still end up in a ballot for Phase 2Csupp. IMHO, you might want to weigh your options carefully and choose to register in a school that will not put you in a balloting situation again.

Good luck poppy15! :xedfingers:

HI kidznme,

Give yourself a little time to take it in then forge ahead. It is great that you already have your backup plan. As you say, reassess your plan B and Plan C. IMHO, try to avoid a balloting situation in the next Phase.

You are right. The registration is but only the first tiny step into the new chapter of our child's life. It is a marathon ahead. It is all the preparation and the continuous support in the long journey that is worth all our energy.
