Zakashi,


did you son get into St Hilda, under Phase 2B ?

St Hilda ＞2km standby. ACSP <1km has 17 vacancies. What will u do? Tks.

zakashi:

Yes really tough. Those with only one child have a lot of worries but I have double worries and nightmare.

Zakashi- Yes indeed very stressful or you. But you should have planned for a co-ed school in the first place.

[phtthp]

even if she plan for co-ed school (St Hilda), also risky.


if one in, the other twin get in too.
if out out, both also out.

under Phase 2C, since you’re < 1km from ACS Barker and > 2km from St Hilda, try your luck at ACS.

Hi All, just was hoping for your expert opinion. If you are a PR and living within 1km of ACSP will you even bother trying? What abt if PR living 1-2km frm SJI? Or just stick with Balestier? Thx guys!

I am not an expert but can advice by looking at the #.

If PR and even stay within 1km, don't even bother to waste the option at ACSP and SJI. Past trend showed balloting and with today's policy, definitely no chance.

Hi! Zakashi,


Nope, if I were you I would put them in a co’ed school, their school homework would be the same and you can guide or teach them together. you’ll have double chance balloting with 2 tickets, If either one of the twins is being picked, the other will get in too.

laughingcat is right.
if there's any SC > 2km eyeing either ACSP or SJIJ, they will get in first, before any PR < 1km.

Thanks Laughingcat for the advice, yeah I think you are right, don't waste time. The numbers do not look good, even for SC let alone for PR... thanks again!

Thanks phtthp, this is the main issue I'm grappling with, how many SC's will be applying as all have to go in before me. If I have chance at balloting I don't mind but looking at the fact only like 16 place at ACSP I think I won't even get to smell the driveway of the place let alone ballot... thanks for the response phtthp!

Thanks sglady. I consider that too. It is the school distance that bothers me. While ACSP and SCGS just a stone throw.

does anyone have any update on SCGS?
