[quote=\"vicki\"]Laughingcat, are u talking abt parents being accepted into the alumni club so that they can qualify for 2A1?

Absolutely no.

So back to 'there is nowhere in the MOE website that limits/caps 2A except if 2A is fully subscribed - whereby the parents will then undergo balloting'[/quote]Yes you are absolutely right. It is up to the school discretion.

Just for sharing on my alma mater school. In fact i didn't know of this until one of the forumer shared this and i went to confirm this with the board.


The vacancy for alumni in 1990 Pri 1 registration actually exceed what the school had specified. The NYPS board decided that they could not absorb all its alumni. The cut-off was outside 2 km and families with less than 3 children. They were rejected with no chance of ballot.

so what was the vacancy left for 2B and 2C for that year then? I am a bit confused here.

1990?!!

The current system that goes P1, P2A1, P2A2, P2B, P2C, P3 etc starts from year 1998.......

aiyo, really, wasting so much ink arguing on alumni


the alumni problem affects only ACS, and recently CHS, and long time ago once affected NYPS, recently NYPS no problems on alumni with intake of 390, even after reducing from intake size of 420 due to single session school

actually ACS and CHS can solve the alumni problem by increasing one more class

talk as if the whole singapore all got alumni problems…if anyone noticed at all, most schools alumni phase of registration are having few take up, really pak bang on those days of registration

Oh thanks for clarifying. I mention year 1998 as I learnt it from a post by another forumer (Pg 80 of this thread) with the following press realease from MOE in 1998:

so the best is after phase 1, whatever vacancies left, split it equally among 2a, 2b and 2c.

:? Sorry loh if I wrong number, P2A got cap? Would someone please help clarify? :roll:

Jialat lah........read here lah as quoted from the MOE website eh \"Should the number of applications exceed the number of vacancies for Phase 2A to 2C Supplementary, places will be balloted according to the home-school distance category in the following order of priority.\" :pokeeye: you need spectacles liao lah :evil:

That is why there are both registration date and announcement date for phase 2A to 2C sup.

The cap is the \"total\" vacancies.. meaning, like vicki said, if it happens, there'll be no places for P2B and later.

There is \"no cap\" in the sense that the limit is not a fraction of the total vacancies, but its entirety.

Information of this nature is not on MOE website.

However, such info is on KSP website. If not true, better alert Kiasu chief.

Distance Prioritization

Any student that applies for Phases 1 up to 2A2 will be successful. Therefore, there is no need for distance prioritization.
