Rosyth

[gpp]

Hi auntie lynn, I feel that getting into Rosyth is getting tougher every year. Let’s take this year for example, the intake was cut by 30 numbers and in Phase 1 more than 30 places were taken up compared to 2010. The tension has accerlated from balloting in 2C within 1km to 2B between 1 to 2km. Having said that there are still ways to improve the chances of getting in, such as PV and grassroots avenues but NO GUARANTEE. FYI : Registration for PV in Rosyth take place 2 years before the registration (you can call the school to ask). Phase 2B eligiblity will be given to grassroots leaders who have served 1 year of service as an executive member in the GRC.


Considering your situation, the new place that you are moving in is about 1.7m away from CHIJOLN and your elder girl is in the school, it may be easier for logistic arrangement and the sisters can take care of each other at school.

HI gpp,

Thxs for your informations,i’ve checked in Rosyth website and the application for PV is closed…I have been trying to find out about appealing to CHIJOLN in case i fail to get into Rosyth.(I do not want to end up choosing another school in phase3.)
However,chances are very slim so i guess the best solution is to put my girls together in OLN and have them take care of each other and i don’t have to go thru the balloting motion again…just too bad…the ratios are bt 4 applicants : 1 place in phase2c…a tough fight!..sincerely, thxs you for your analysis and advice!!

Hi, I am new here. Understand from the MOE tabulation, that within 1km there is no balloting and we fall within this category. Did anyone receive any confirmation letter under phase 2b yet? After going through such stressful P1 excerise, I guess i would not want a second time. Hope to link up with new and experience parents out there.
