Vacancy for Phase 3


Guangyang 21

Hmm I thought GY has 120 vacancies left after 2CS. Looks like MOE not opening up all space for 3. So GY only has a total of 51 P1 students next year?

Those who did not get into any school successfully after balloting in P2CS were asked to nominate three schools they would like MOE to place their children in, before MOE opened the registration for P3. So, I guess most of the places were taken up in this manner.

Thanks QMS for the explanation. No wonder.

Hi cantbearit2

The link is a 2007 one. I was looking for something more recent actually.

thanks pgnet88 and tulip.


I really hope the situation in the 3 bishan schools will ease next year when my turn comes. Hopefully GYPS will become a draw factor by being spanking new! <cross>

To be honest, doubt the situation will ease -- since the birth rate has u-turned up in 2005!!

In any case, all the best (in advance) for next year. :celebrate:

The birth rate for 2005 went up??is it a significant number?

DS going for his P1 orientation 2 weeks later. Looking forward to it. Any good tips from parents on how to make full use of the orientation? A mother advised me to identify a buddy for my DS so that he has a friend when school start on first day. I sure hope DS will find a good friend there since none of the friends he knows is going to TGPS.

Hmm, but how to choose which one to identify? For me I just went there and talked to some of the girls in my dd's class, asked about their names, and introduced them to one another. The rest is up to her.
