U referring to balloting under phase 2B this year?

For NYPS :
Balloting will be conducted for SC children residing between 1km and 2km of the school.

I wonder what's the odds for the balloting tmr

[jujuboys]

The odds is 50%. Two parents to ballot for one seat.

NYPS ballot was for 1 place, 2 balloting.

Effectively NYPS 2B again this year was for 1km parents only.

This morning was mgs balloting… I wonder if I have gone for it instead of choosing another without need for ballot…would it have been a successful ballot. Pondering on life’s what ifs…

Tintedsky - what school did you chose? My friend got in at MGS balloting this AM. So happy for her!

MGS definitely more popular than RGPS coz it is a full school, afflilated to the secondary school. Whereas for RGPS there is no afflilation to the secondary school. Ur girl need to excel in PSLE to gain into RGS, no advantage over students from other schools.

Correct & it's on dual track (IP & Os). Once you gained entry, it's almost guaranteed 10-12 years of no-worry. Can relax a little for PSLE.
Some more it's a full school so you get a longer Nov/Dec holiday than everyone else

I would have done the same - I'd rather have a secured place then go for balloting :snuggles:

Kerropi, thank you. How I wish parents need not go thru such stress in balloting or decision makings. Is this a prelude to children education in Singapore? If it is, I am feeling very sorry for my child who is about to enter her ‘rat race’ education environment.
