karenmok:

When will MOE issue instructions for Phase 2C(S)? What is the next step?

Troubled mother

Choose school nearest to you with most no. Of vacancies available. This may prevent another round of balloting in case demand suppress supply.
Good luck!

Troubled mother

check on KSP threads on the schools that you are considering and try your luck on the waitlist.

yes have to arrange for school transport, by the way what about you where do you stay.

Public transport will not be possible, have to walk all the way on the hill, DD will feel hard to walk, still too little

LostinWoods,


You can view my post at http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=24479&p=815719#p815719

Firstly, in this world, no policy can make everyone happy. There will always be a group who will be disappointed. It is to be expected. But, the policy needs to favour the majority. As a Singaporean, I expect likewise. I don't want to blow my horn any further as a Singaporean, hurting my PR friends alike. But, any society should work that way to prevent discontent among the majority.

Secondly, parents will be parents. Most of the discussion in this forum surrounds around getting their kids into the schools of their choice whether it's a top psle producing school, within walking distance, having a good curriculum etc. as prioritized by the parents. It's never about getting into a school. That has been ably taken care by the government and their statisticians. Kudos to that! We don't have to worry about that.

Lastly, this is my opinion. If you feel otherwise, that's yours...

You can keep your opinion to yourself as according to MOE, every schools is good school (quoted fm moe, don't play play) and there are enuff schools ard ur area. The problem is not that there are not enuff school near ur place but it is your choice for not selecting these two schools. Of course i know all parents want best for their kids but moe thinks these two schools also good leh. Perhaps u shld try to convince moe that u think otherwise for the two schools. Gd luck and it has nothing to do w me which school u like or don't like. I was just replying ur post on any other schools to consider without knowing how much u detest these two schools.

I have attended ballots in Phase 2C twice (2005 n 2012).
Knew the heartache n the troubles faced by the Phase 2C supp or 3C parents..

I calculated those numbers that didn't get a place today and grouped by area (assuming they would continue to apply a place in the same area). Hope below information would help in a way or another, and give u a rough guide of how many fighters are in the same situation in below area/zone.
