Hi, there's no first come first serve in balloting. If there is, then no need to ballot at all. It's more like lucky draw. All the names of applicants qualified for balloting will be thrown inside a box, shake it up and then the lots will be draw out from the box. Need alot of luck if there are alot of applicants competing for a few slots.

Thanks!

In Phase 2, places are given to those staying nearest to the school first (<1 km) before people in the next nearest group get allocated (1-2 km). Any places will be allocated to those staying beyond 2 km.

During balloting, everyone within the group who needs to go through balloting has equal chance.

Hi! Phase 2C balloting is done for all who registered usually. It actually depends on how many vacancies are available and how many registrants live within 1km, 1-2km and beyond 2km. There is no first-come-first-served registration for Phase 2C.

However, Phase 3 will be first-come-first-served. (Note that Phase 3 only comes after Phase 2C Supplementary.)

Hi all, my friend’s son is due to register for Primary one next year. She tried applying PV for her choiced school, but to date, the school did not reply her. Now she thinking to join RC committee so that she can qualify to register her kid under Phase 2B next year.


How long does she need to be an active RC committee before she can get the letter to register under Phase 2B? Is she still in time to join? Becos now it’s already August.

Thanks!

Well she can still try where normally need to join by 30 June 2009 just like the PV scheme. In order to be active member, she need to be at least an \"Executive Member\" in the committee.

I know someone had been observer for almost 12 months where if there is nobody resign from the committee. So observer is not able to get any chance to apply in Phase 2B.

I had ever try to go through the RC route but seem they are not able to give me a satisfactory answer. Rather then to proceed on this \"Mission Impossibe\" route, I go through by PV.

Thanks alot titank, seems to me not a very "guaranteed" route to take.


So it’s possible that she might end up still have to register under Phase 2C even though she actively perform her RC duties?

Just try loh, if she able to get Executive Member by June 2010 then able to register in Phase 2B.

Look at it this way. If you do something about it, you have a chance to go into 2B. If you don't, then confirm 2C.

So it's a matter you want to have that chance or not.
