We are unsuccessful for chij olqp too. My girl was no 15 and nos 14 and 16 were called! Never felt so unlucky in my life! Was so sad really wanna cry! Now gotta get myself together and get ready for 2c.


I just regretted didnt pv for chij. Didnt plan this whole thing properly! So guess itis my own doing.

Now gotta study the other available school stats and decide on the next step. Most likely going for bukit timah pri but am kinda worried cos am sure many who were not successful will also go for it. Dont think wanna go for balloting again! Too scary!

Sorry to her your upset in the balloting jeanieg. :snuggles:

Please don't bash yourself up. What is over and done is the past. After you have given yourself sometime to recover, do forge ahead. When a door closes, a window opens...

Yes, every year Bukit Timah Primary will have many aiming it for Phase 2Csupp.

Just for your reference, below are the number for 2010 end Phase 2Csupp

and this years. http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/vacancies/index.php#bukit-timah

Except for HPPS.. the number are actually rather close. In fact, the over-supscription in RGS and was higher then. so maybe it is still rather safe but I would definitely advice to have a backup just in case..

Good luck! :xedfingers:

Hi jeanieg

Did a rough calculations for the area.

Pardon if the actual numbers is abit out from my rough as I used the TUR till 2B to calculate the left over for 2C, and using the APP at 2C to get the total vacancies versus total applicants.

For last year, the number is total vacancies of 252 as compared to 359 applicants. Spill over is 107

For this year, the number is total vacancies of 172 compared to 262 applicants. Spill over is 90.

TUR for BKPS is 53% till 2C, so still within the threshold.

The statstics compound here can be very powerful. All the best.

Thank you all for your encouragement. Lucky also got my hubby and friends to cheer me up. So all is not gone yet. Just hope for the best next week. Plan A fails, go with Plan B. If Plan B fails also, then Plan C, lor Six years of pri edu is a long way to go. Must make a wise choice. Though I know my 1st choice was my wise choice for my kid, the odds were extremely great. Gosh, now thinking back on why I took that road down, I am amazed myself. Nobody to blame but it's really all boils down to luck when one decided to gamble and forge ahead with balloting.


I would still hope to get my kid back to 1st choice if given a chance. Perhaps just go on waitlist and see how. If still no luck, then the higher being is telling me a no means no :sad:

go on waitlist

work hard and get a GEP seat and you can opt in again

Yeah, thanks! Whatever will be, will be. Now need to go fetch my kid and give some words of encouragement to her too

Yup, there is the waitlist and like vk2010 said, there is also the GEP route.. but maybe before that your child is doing so well in the new school and you have changed your mind..

Don't be sad dear.. I'm sure all will turn out fine in the end... :snuggles:

Thanks, RRMummy. I am hoping to put my gal in a co-ed mission school but failed. So 2nd choice is a girl sch but I know for the fact that many will be flocking to that school next week too. I am > 1km so chance is slim. But still, I am just going to register first and monitor. If all else fail, I will fall back to co-ed sch cos she has a little bro who will be going to P1 soon too :slapshead:

jeanieg,
Don't be disappointed. BTPS has very outstanding CCAs and I am very impressed with them. The Principal was invited to give a talk in Pei Hwa this morning to those balloting parents, with special mention in their Science and CCAs. The chances of getting in is high, even if one is on waiting list.

If not because we prefer mission school and also its location, I may register my son there.
