Is Upp. Thomson within 1km of CHS? I stay right next to CHS and ATS is already more than 1km from my place.

I guess she is near Marymount MRT area.....

[quote=\"cherrygal\"]Well, Sadove, moving house is also no guarantee... I moved to Upp Thomson (1km of CHS) in 2006 in preparation for my son's P1 reg (kiasu rite?), can go Phase 2B, Catholic etc...


Look at the number of places left. I don't know if I should even ballot for 9 stingy places... plus flood in Upp Thomson some more...

Think I will move out of this area if I can't get into CHS or Ai Tong...sigh

All I can say is, at this moment, I wish I had a husband who attended CHS or Ai Tong or any good school! :lol:

Yes, just within 1km. Shunfu side.[/quote]Ah..I see. Yes, a strip of Shunfu side is within 1km of both CHS & ATS.

Hi, Cherrygal,

any backup schools for your situation in case if......

Hi sadove
in the past few days, i haf lost so much sleep thinking of all the backup schools. 2nd (ATS) & 3rd (Maris Stella >2km) backup also very popular and 4th (St Gab) backup also no place for Phase 2C Supp (>2km). May just end up with nothing I want. If I were you, move 1km near a good school but not as popular as CHS, PV to get into Phase 2B and pray no ballot needed.

My fren's fren PVed at CHS, lives directly opp CHS, lost both ballots at Phase 2B and Phase 2C. Now in another school dunno where.

Yes, supposed to be lucky rite? But slim chance of getting into either school! Should have moved to bartley area...at least I would be 1km of Maris Stella instead of >4km...

Dear Cherrygal,

Actually, you have quite a good chance with Ai Tong, right ?
Although you need to ballot, chances are much better than CHS, isn’t it ?

Really? But I can only go to Phase2C of ATS. This phase traditionally has many many applicants. The balloting will be tough now that CHS can't take many. So more will try ATS at Phase 2C.

I am tempted to try CHS/Maris for Phase2B, if out, then try CHS/ATS for Phase 2C. Then if out again, I dunno what to do... appeal CHS/Maris probably. Should I even try CHS for phase2B or go straight to Maris?

Here’s a reminder to all Phase2B moms to photocopy your required documents, charge your hp batteries and laptop batteries! Will keep in touch on D-Day via mobile broadband on this website!


Good luck everyone!

Ha! I think we have made up our mind more or less. Will be going to Maris Stella. Unless we see that the odds is good at CHS (which we highly doubt so).

So, keep in touch.

Oh my...that's such a pity...did your friend's friend put his son on waiting list ? CHS should at least give PVs priority since they have done something for the school

I have a strong feeling mediacorp will be at CHS during the 2B balloting to interview those successful and unsuccessful parents.
