2011 balloting statistics, Paya Lebar Methodist

=========================================
2B: >2 km - all got in, no need ballot.

2C:
<1 km, all got in - no need ballot.
within 1 to 2 km, 7 unlucky ones balloted out.
> 2km - no chance to ballot.

but for 2010, 2009:
2B: >2 km - balloting.

There was no balloting in Phase 2B last year (2011) but in the years before, balloting was conducted for applicants staying outside 2km.

Hi!


My dd was born in 2008. May I know how to plan 2nd choice school? Choose a less popular school or further distance from address? Hoping to get in to SCGS. Schools around that area eg. RGS, nanyang…are popular too. How to have backup plan? Tks!

Just wait for a while there may be some changes in P1 registration.

not sure if i get your question correct, but if dont want to do PVs and no alummni links and did not join clans, the registration year of the kid is the year the kid is 6yrs old (eg this year's registration is for 2006 kid). even if want to do pv or alumni links or join clans, registration yr is still the same, although they may want to link up with the schs/clans earlier to get the relevant documentation in place.

Thanks... I thought no need to PVs, or join any clans, have to go que in waiting list. Then we no need to so kancheong register our kid when 4 yrs old.

can I ask this question if a child did not get into the school under phase 2c...

What can be done? :roll:


My frend suggested that \"Ask president to call the principal up(if u know the president personally) or pass the school a letter from President , may still got 1% chance, is this true?????\" :scratchhead:
