received email from proteach on balloting for place in BASC.


anyone successfully got in? or all go through balloting?

arghh i wish they can do this much earlier to make our planning easier. most schools have already settled theirs. and those not enrolled within the school, will already get a place elsewhere.

There is a student care just opp the sch at Blk 85 Whampoa Drive under the operator My First Skool. <- i had checked that out.. out of the way for me :(.

i was quoted $220 per wk by a private basc. but they will send my kid home to sengkang each evening.

I am also waiting anxiously to receive respond from Pro teach. I hope to secure a seat to avoid all the hassle. Does it mean that if we do not receive any respond, we do not qualify a seat in Pro-teach ? Now that half the day is gone, i don't feel optimistic about it.

cherrie..
call them. i call in the morning to enquire (Without saying my child's name),, they said check email after 12pm. now is 3pm, u can call to ask. update me. i was a lil upset. i thought today we know the finalized results. arghh.. what are ur alternatives? i have no firm decision. if he cannot get in, i will have to source for one that the school bus vendor willing to send him there and it must be near MRT north east route.

I really do not wish to turn to my alternative. Which is to let her go back to her current child care as they offer student care as well. The trouble is she got to take a school bus as we are unable to pick her up to send her there everyday. I also dont feel quite safe unless i or my husband is able to do that everyday.

I just received call from Pro-Teach.


When I first called them on 11 Nov to enquire the vacancies, i was told that there are 40, but 14 were reserved for those who has sibling in the school and 26 are open to the rest. There are 100+ applications vs the 26 vacancies.
Now that i received call from Pro-Teach, I was told that i have to go through 2nd balloting which is 39 applications vs 15 vacancies. Seems like not a very optimistic reply.

Well, kids are kids and tend to be exuberant - it's hard to say if they are well disciplined but so far my kids have not had issues with other kids, nor had they encountered bullies.

HWS stresses on moral upbringing in addition to academics. I like the school in that it's not competitive (then again, could be my kids are laidback to beging with). School provides additional assistance (like after hours additional lessons where required).

Not sure where your question stems from, but at the end of it all, HWS is a good school. BUT do take into account the distance you have to travel each day. There will be times when kiddo needs to stay behind. Transport IS an important consideration for the next 6 years.

Sorry, how old is your child? Cos for P1, I thought they provide 2 weeks of catered food? My kid was so sick of beehoon after a while (not that he had ever taken a shine to it). After that, P1 I believe get to go canteen a bit earlier and there will be 'big brothers/sisters' to guide them (although my kids' big brother ran off sometimes...but the P1s banded together and went ahead, no issue there).

My 2 boys also in their own world....I have to dig and pry until I sianz.
