hi Jessyy, is it really 66 applicants fighting for 44 seats? All < 1KM right? My turn next year, not sure if I want to take the risk though I am within 1KM.

My \"kpo\" view is that historically under phase 2C, MBS need to ballot for those within 1km. If you have safer choice and the distance is reasonable, go for it. If not, there is no harm taking a gamble as there is nothing to lose.

Just curious, for those staying within 1km of MBS, what are the other school options for them that are within 1km as well? Eunos primary? Macpherson? GMPS? Telok Kurau?

The school nearer to my place after MBS will be Eunos Primary.

Hi

Yes the balloting exercise for this year is 65 ppl fighting for 44 seats!
I am staying within 1km n the balloting only for SC.
I don’t recommend for Eunos pri for 2C as u see there is still space for supplementary don’t waste ur chance.
My gal pre school doesn’t recommend telok kurau… Don’t know

I heard some parents get the letter n manage to ballot under phase 2B… Maybe u want to give it a try? Balloting for this year is SC >2km

Hello, 1st post here...

My son balloted in MBS for year 2013 p1 too.
Last 3 to get into...
Brain was blank when drew up my son's ballot ID as the chance
Was so slim......when the manager announced left 8....then 3....
Stress before a week on the ballot...no fun,indeed.
Manage to read all threads on MBS too

Jessyy, see u in year 2013....Yr gal is in p1 too,rite.
I find it good to keep in touch with same year and existing MBS mothers here.

:congrats: Indeed... balloting is no fun especially if you are the last few to be called....

Seeing some other threads on their kids being balloted out of MBS and still feeling sad about it 4 days after the balloting has passed and wondering about which school to register now, my heart really goes out to them.
