2012 P1 Registration Exercise for 2013 In-Take

[Lukeysmummy]

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

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.

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
