I was told the same when I called around 1.30pm. Think those out of 2km need balloting.

Hi, I also encountered this problem in Pei Tong. I keep calling them in the afternoon to check the latest figure, if I don't stand a chance to ballot I can withdraw & register at another school. The staffs at Pei Tong are not helpful at all.

I called at 4pm, still given me the same figure as the one I called at 12noon. I think if they are willing to help and make an effort to call us on the current no. of applicant, a few of us >2km can withdraw & register at other school.

I received a call from the staff at 4.50pm informed me I'm not successful and going to hang up. They don't even advise me what should I do and what can I do.
May be the school wants the data to show more ppl apply so they don't advise us to withdraw..may be.... :?

The school I used to work at would try to inform parents if they no chance to ballot.

But I remember last year during last 30 mins of registration, there were 3 or 4 last minute switched registration over and caused a need to ballot and some totally out of game. the parents affected though informed don’t even have enough time to react. How to rush down , withdraw and re-register all in 30min? The system really must fine tune these issues.

Maybe different school response differently becos during 2C, I called few times (Fairfield) to enquire the figures and breakdown, the staff was very helpful.


I think the admin staffs should be more sensitive and helpful to the parents even though we know that they have many calls to entertain but it’s just that one particular month during p1 registration not as if they will need to go thru this every month every day.

It’s understandable that parents are eager to know the figures.

I should say different school got different standard of staffs. I also supprise to see the way the staff in Pei Tong handle this situation. I also called New Town at the same time, the staff was more helpful.

FYI, they told us MOE server down on the 1st day morning (14/8) so they can't key in our particulars. They said they will call us after they register everything in the system but they never. Until now i don't have a copy of my application form.
