BTW, would any1 have any idea if the principal / school has the discretion to allow 1 or 2 extra students in should the cut-off exceeded by such numbers...
this would have spared the rest of the parents the emotional roller-coaster of having to go through balloting? not to mention the poor 1 or 2 who misses out on the ballot day? imagine all the parents turning out for the ballot process to 'ballot' out only 1 or 2 of the candidates ...

No, unless the last number to be picked is for twins, triplets, etc.

If principal had the discretion, what should be the cut-off? 1? 2? Why not 3 or 4? There's no end to it.

Hi all,

Need advise. So the school will send mail to successful candidates?

After ballot out... Still can do appeal... Still can put under waiting list... Depends if you want to go through with it...

Yes, you'll get the copy of application with the principal's signature and date of orientation.

Do put yourself on waiting list. Some parents may change their mind and free up a space. Who knows you may get into your choice before school term starts.

Thanks for the advices. Aftermath questions for my reference…I stay within 1km of NH but do not qualify for any of the criteria stated in Phase 2B, can i still register? I should have just go for Qifa or Clementi Pri in Phase 2C. Not waste my chances with NH in Phase 2C Supplementary?

Concise summary of End of Phase 2C (after analyzing MOE published data)

* 95 primary schools oversubscribed
* Rulang Primary in Jurong West is the most over subscribed primary school (600%)
* Hong Kah Primary in Bt Batok recvd the least number of applicant (8)
* Total available vacancies = 19,996
* Total applicants = 16,159
* Total vacancies still available for Phase 2C Supp onwards = 6,040

This would mean there's enough vacancy for all children.
I simply can't understand why didn't parents who registered at Rulang adopt a different strategy. It's a torture to go through balloting at P2C. Maybe again at P2C supp.

Looking at this year's Statistics NH S already oversubscribed at P2C, they will be out of the game in P2C supp. Only Clementi and peitong will be participating in P2Csupp.

If you don't mind taking the risk, you can try NH. It may highly possible your child ends up in none of the school in clementi area..
You may wish to monitor the situation, and register on the last day....

Hi parents.


ATS has 3 additional places rolled over from 2A2, so the number of places for 2C now is 23.

My question is that the 3 additional places should be ballot for the unsuccessful applicant in phase 2B rather than transfering the 3 places to phase 2C. Otherwise it will not be fair to the 2B unsuccessful candidate which has did more than the applicant in 2C.

Is my assumption correct?

Thanks
