2012 P1 Registration Exercise for 2013 In-Take

[J_C_M_L]

Dear daddies & mummies, many many thanks to the well wishes.


As pertaining to ur question, qms. So far for the past 5 years, there’s no balloting within 1km under P2B. Not because there’s no applicants but usually parents will take a safer route to register at ACJS as the number of vacancies there are usually double or triple the number of ACPS, even able to accommodate 1-2km uncontested. This year was pretty surprising for ACPS as there are so many old boys, resulted balloting for those <1km. Probably a norm for balloting under P2B for the next few years down the road, more children are born after the baby bonus etc etc. (the birth rate increases steadily after the introduction).

Any statistics on the school to share (no. of applicants vs vacancies)? Is it as per shared by parents previously?

Hi! JCML,

Congratulations! I understand that it's balloting within 1km for your boy, 22 applicant to 18 vacancies. May I know how many applicants are within 1km?

Please advise. Thank you!

Balloting was for those staying within 1 km. Hence, all applicants (22 of them) are in the < 1 km category.

So the 4 applicants being balloted out will be competing the next phase.

You're right, under P2C registering on 31 Jul & 01 Aug.

But the balloting was for 20 or 22 applicants vs 18 vacancies within 1 km, its should be 20 to 18 vacancies, right?
