Eh, not really true here.

Only 1 school within 1km around my place...and that sch is...Rosyth...sigh.
Next nearest is Hougang Pri, also in balloting <1km.

I got no school within 1km but I do have a community center next door. Lucky I got my dd in thro phase 2a if not I will :slapshead:

[Belinng]

I have 3 schools <1km, 2 need balloting for SC <1km (Anderson & St Nick), the other one have a lot of vacancies (Mayflower). So I guess its depends on parents, since the other one still have a lot just try luck and if cannot get in just take the one with a lot left… For me, my dd went in thru Phase 1.

[quote="pirate"]Sure. I’m only talking about the subset that are balloting.

It seems disfunctional to have such fierce competition at <1km.

I wanted to know if this is an unintended consequence of the current rules of the game, or if it is considered satisfactory to the majority.

over population of SC?? i think gov have to do something if not alot of kids will have to travel a distance to school.

Schools Conducting Balloting (as at 3 August 2012)

Balloting at Phase 2C will be conducted on Tuesday, 7 August 2012. The schools have informed parents concerned of the balloting time. Parents are welcome to witness the conduct of the balloting...

Hi all
there are many schools which are conducting balloting for SCs with over 1 more applicant, is it possible that if all the parents cooperate of those respective schools make a letter and appeal to the principals to accept that 1 student without any balloting, so that all the parents would be satisfied and be happy also for the kids being in their dream school.

Even if there are 2 more applicants let them go for balloting

...foreign Singapore citizen also..

What precisely is a foreign Singapore citizen? You mean a new citizen? Or a Singaporean who is now a citizen of another country?

[karenmok]

Is there a balloting for Phase 2C(S) as well? Or is it a first come, first served?
