Start with 500m...

Only My front gate is within the 500m, so is considered within 500m even if the rest of the house is outside 500m.

Compassvale Primary School

karenmok:

How long does the balloting exercise last? If balloting starts at 9 AM, what time will they complete it? Should I take a full day off for this or a half day off is okay?

Depends on the vacancies available, right?

Balloting for School A will be over in 5 minutes if the school only has 1 vacancies whereas balloting for School B needs longer time if the school has more than 100 vacancies.

Xxxx,


I agree with you too.

The earlier phases have taken up many seats eg alumni and siblings or parents during in that particular school of choice.

Take a look at Henry park and ACS primary, only less than 20 vacancies for phase 2b and 2c each.

Fully agreed.

Guessed we have to accept that there are many resourceful parents who are old boys/girls of the schools, teachers, church/clan members, RC people, Parent volunteers, who put in more EFFORT to place their children in their preferred schools in Phase 2 (a step earlier than Phase 2C parents). I would hope that MOE can reserve 40-50% lots for 2C children from the Original pool.

(PS. Data calculated from MOE website.
I will attend ballot session on Aug 7, 9am).

as the balloting process continue on actual balloting Day (Tues 7 August), names of kids successfully balloted in will be hung onto a white board, one by one, side by side each other - as the name of each child is drawn out via \"Lucky draw\" dip, by a guest of honour called upon to come right up to the front, to conduct start \"Lucky draw\".

after whole balloting process completed -
the P1 registration officers on duty will issue forms to parents whose kids successfully balloted in. After filling up form(s) on the spot inside the balloting room packed with parents, then submit forms back to the Officer, there and then on the spot. Some schools may inform parents when is the Orientation day.

if your child is balloted out, the Officer will not give out any such form to parents.

on 7 August, do not bring child. The balloting room is fully packed with parents, P1 duty officers, Principal, etc. Phase 2C balloting atmosphere is very tense. Some may even turn emotional.

you're now in Phase 2C.
is better to apply full day leave.
in the event child not balloted in, you may need time in case you wish to recky other schools, for Phase 2C Supp.

but if child gets balloted in, you can bring family out to celebrate.

How about those parents who did not attend the balloting and is successfully in the balloting ? How and when the school inform them and when they will receive the form ?
