Hi

Any of you know if RSS in Bedok will be conducting balloting?
14place vs 18 registration.

MOE yet to update.
Need to wait till Monday to call the school.
Stressssssssss........ :xedfingers:

Hi Angerer,

Do keep us posted on RSS!! Can I assume u are a PV at RSS? I'm waiting to register as a PV for 2014 registration, and is watching this year's registration closely. A bit concerned if i should try out RSS since it is so HOT, and my parents place is in the 1-2km range away from RSS. My option is to move back to my parents so that I don't get pushed to the >
2km group... Headache.

Sorry for the last reply.
Contacted RSS in am yesterday and found out balloting required only for SC 1to2km. So I really heng, within 1km. By the way, I am a GRL for EC GRC.

Please do share the results, and GOOD LUCK!!

NCPS always hot pick under phase 2c ,


News just boardcasted 3 fighting for 1 (SC within 1km)

Some happy some sad

Some say it’s unfair that I stay less than 200m away and yet have to choose a skool that out of 1km under phase 2cs

At least effective this year, there is SCs admit first policy . MOE cant please everyone! parents should look for good things in the outcome after failed at P2C. There is always other schools near home and every school is governed by MOE. Instead of spending time thinking of fair or not fair, lets spend the time helping our kids to start their new life at school.

90 schools hold ballot! :yikes: That's about half of all the primary schools. Many of them are neighbourhood schools. Something is not right! MOE should anlyse the situation. Many of those disappointed parents just want their children to go to the nearby school, but not those \"top\" schools.

What to do? Does parents have a choice? We SG are staying within 1 km radius - Red Swastika, Yu Neng and Fengshan. All don’t have chance to go in. Balloting not successful. Next is Bedok Green - most likely needs to ballot at Phase 2C supplementary. If not, choose East Coast.

Some parents are being more realistic...at phase 2C, if they are staying more than 1km, it's better to head elsewhere than go into phase 2C supp.
But didn't expect Jurong west and sengkang to be hot.
Honestly 90 schools this year compared to 87 last year having to ballot is indeed crazy...some SC had to be turned away.
