i've juz call Anchorgreen Pri, was told tat the no. of applicants less than 1km is more than 40 :yikes: :nailbite: , so confirm there will be balloting :xedfingers: ...


should i go thru another balloting again :faint: or shld i withdraw and choose my 2nd choice Montfort Junior??...

reason for choosing Montfort Junior is bcos we hv the intention of shifting to Hougang area and this is the only sch tat has left with alot of vacancies (114) in Hougang

any advise???...

If you hv boys only, then shouldnt be a prob. But if you hv girl, u hv to go thru tis another time.

[chickenlittle]

yes, mine is a boy, the youngest...so dun hv to go thru anymore...


if we choose to try to ballot for Anchorgreen at this stage, i dunno what is the success rate :nailbite: :scared: ...if we again failed then the chance of getting into Montfort in phase 3 will be lower isnt it??...

if we straight away go for Montfort now, chance of success is very high...as such, we will expedite the shift next yr...bcos i do not want him to take sch bus as normally sch bus come n fetch very early in the morning...and by the time he reach Sengkang student care in the afternoon he will be tired out...

i've juz called Montfort Junior, latest vacancy left is 85, i've oso check my distance between home-school...it is within 1-2km

Pls advise, tia

phase 3 from my understanding is 1st come 1st serve…

Below is what i read from MOE website:


With effect from 2011 Primary One Registration Exercise, balloting will be conducted in Phase 3 if the number of applications exceeds the number of places available at the end of the first day of Phase 3 registration. Balloting will be conducted on Friday, 26 August 2011.

After the balloting is completed, children who have not been able to obtain a place at their school of choice can go to another school with remaining vacancies to register on a first-come-first-served basis on 26 August 2011.

oh dear… my error… haha… lke tat quite a tough decision to make… a 100% secured place seems like monfort then… provided there wont b more ppl enrolling tml…

[chickenlittle]

tks e3nity...looks like got to closely monitor the situations now... :xedfingers:

[pherie]

I’ll go for monfort… since you hv intention to shift to hougang already and moreover, the chances of getting in is higher…
