Hi All,


Should I withdraw from Radin Mas & apply CHIJ (Kellock) if chance to get in is good? Tomorrow my battle day going to start. :scared: :yikes:

Choosing CHIJ (Kellock) based on the reason of holy-stick education & A Fat Li Tion to St Theresa Convent. :xedfingers:

I still think you should stay put in Radin Mas. If there are only 4 empty slots left in CHIJ(Kellock) they will likely be filled tomorrow. You don't want to be in a situation to ballot there.

Currently, in CHIJ, taken up rate of 94 includes SC and PR.
Maybe 5 empty slots will be taken up.
That would be no of PR registered so far = no of additional SC can be registered without balloting.

If all SC filled and excess, the likelihood that parents in CHIJ will undergo ballot is those > 2km and next 1-2km. If there is no big rush to CHIJ registration, the ballot hit rate for 1-2km would be still likely higher, as compare to Radin Mas.

It seems very likely that by end of tom, the only schools in bukit merah left with slots are blangah rise and cantonment (limited as well)..... Or worst case, only blangah rise will be left with slots for 2Cs...... :faint:

Maybe I would need to ask CHIJ Kellock what is the breakdown of SC & PR in the 1 Km. So if the number exceeds 99 then I being in the 1-2km would be in 2nd posiiton? If below 99 meaning I have to fight with the 1km PR?

I thought my biggest worried would be 1km. Now have 99 places, if 1km all filled up by 99 meaning I no chance.

i was just discussing this with my sister-in-law (who registered her son <1km in RMPS)... just looking at registered numbers for Bukit Merah schools, if all the unsuccessful from RMPS + ZDPS flow over to Gan Eng Seng/Cantonment = literally no places left in Gan Eng Seng / Cantonment for 2C supp :nosebleed: realistically only Blangah Rise is available in 2C supp... she is now seriously considering to withdraw her registration from RMPS to get a confirmed phase 2C place in Cantonment...

Titank, you are second in line. PRs staying within 1 km from the school will come in after you.

I would say your chance in CHIJ Kellock is very high.

Since both schools are within 5 mins' walk from each other, why don't you visit CHIJ Kellock at about 3.45 pm to ascertain the situation and make a decision then?

GESP reported early was a wrong info. That registration elderly aunt anyhow said, we check with another younger officer need not worry still safe. Sorry!
