2012 P1 Registration Exercise for 2013 In-Take

[qms]

weyw:

eg. 1

120 vacancies
100 SC - regardless of distance (all accepted?)
25 PR - will be according to the home distance or ballot???

so the 25PR will be under ballot?

25 PRs - depending on whether these 25 fall in the within 1 km category.

Assume the following:

< 1 km - 10
1-2 km - 10
> 2 km - 5

Since there are only 20 vacancies left, all the 20 PRs in the < 1 km and 1-2 km categories get in. The 5 staying beyond 2 km will be unsuccessful.

On the other hand, if all the 25 PRs stay within 1 km from the school, yes, these 25 PRs will ballot for the 20 places available.

weyw:

eg. 2
120 vacancies
125 SC - will be filtered out by distance?
80SC < 1KM(all accepted)
25SC < 2KM (all accepted)
20SC > 2KM (have to ballot?) :?

< 1 km - 80 --> all accepted
1-2 km - 25 --> all accepted
> 2 km - 20 --> 20 applicants balloting for 15 places

Hi Lonejean - really panic when you mentioned queue no was 159. i called NHPS to check but unable to find out immediately, she advised to call back 30min later for P2A2 updates.


Hopefully Mummy of 3 is correct, 240 less 159 = 81. :xedfingers:

THC, did you manage to get any information from you phone call to NHPS? Getting really nervous now!

Still got tomorrow to go, don't know how many more will register tomorrow, so the # will only get lesser and lesser ... i think last yr, left over into 2B and 2C are 28 seats each... and 84 fighting for 28 seats under 2C. What's more, heard there was 1 triplets and 2 pairs of twins got balloted.. and that took up 7 seats in 2 ballot slips... :nunchuk:

The school of my choice has 119 vacancies for 2(A)2, I called today and 60 have registered. I have this feeling it will go to ballot. If that happens I will withdraw since I live more than 10 km from the school. Can anyone advise if this is a good idea? I understand that if lets say 120 or 121 kids apply for 119 places, management may take in all to save on balloting procedure … can anybody confirm?


Thanks much

By tonight or early tomorrow morning, the outcome for Day 1 should be reflected in MOE web already. I remember that was the case 2 yrs ago when I register for P2B in Nan Chiau PS.

Hmm.. My understadning is that we go by distance. If a;; 121 kids for that 119 places are n teh same distance category and also all are SC, then even if exceed by 1 application, all must ballot. Anyone else have a different understanding, please help enlighten.

THC:

I can understand why some parents felt getting balloted successfully is better than striking lottery now. Pretty unique Singapore experience.

Not really uniquely Singapore.

This is a growing trend in Asia, where parents get stressed to get their precious little ones into choice schools / kindergartens
