GESP - balloting required outside 2km. My friend's son got in - within 1-2km

Oh another thing! Can you please help to check with your friend on the details - how many applicants > 2 km vying for how many seats? http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php

Hi I need to go ballet for ZDPS. This really upset me, the schl is just next to my block. If I fail in coming ballot, the thought of sending my girl to another schl which is far away, make me very depressed. This will be additional cost for us n very inconvience. Hope MOE can come out with a better system. In my area, within 1km covers a lot housing flat (maybe abt 180 blocks), imagine all go for one schl.

I guess the situation would be even worse if the SCs over PRs rule hadn't set in. No choice now. Just have to http://smileys.emoticonsonly.com/emoticons/f/fingers_crossed-853.gif\"> and hope for the best.

BTW, how many parents within 1 km will be vying for 124 places?

Titank, you mean GESPS will be balloting for those within 1 km? Do you know how many applicants?


Ksks3mum said balloting would only be for those in the 1-2 km category.

I said in future maybe GESPS would be like ZDPS where balloting at 1km. Maybe parents register from a few years later have to take into considerations

Yes maybe need to feedbacl to MP or MOE where suggest build another 2 schools in Tiong Bahru area. The current ZDPS have limited capacity intake for the students. :lightrod:

Hi jocelyn, where do you stay? I stay somewhere between ZDPS and Tiong Bahru Plaza. Same estate?

Gosh,it's kind of unexpected for ZDPS to conduct balloting for kids within 1 km. In the past,at most it was for 1-2km. Guess those who know they have no chances at RMPS and RVPS will go for ZD? Coz Tiong Bahru estate is within 1km of ZDPS but 1-2km outside the other 2 schs. Anyway,i seriously cannot believe that there are so many 6-year-old kids living near me. I don't see them. Ha.

Time for me to consider really doing PV for my kids. In 2 years' time. Haiz.

So, titank, did you eventually apply at CHIJ Kellock?

After serious consideration, decided to remain with Radin Mas where contract to end in 2018. :roll:

I think more schools may not be a solution. Ultimately if parents got wind that one school do better than the other, the same situation will still happen.


just look at BRPS… I think it may not even get filled up to its 240 quota for yrs… all the way to phase 3…

Awaiting Blangah Rise Pri to have a top scorer in PSLE then would be another Rulang Pri like this year registration of 2012. :imcool:

Then maybe the intake would be really surge!
