Is 2CS still distance priority?

Yes, it is.

I stayed 200 meters away from

Rulang Decided not to go through the balloting...as I don think I can take the stress. Am glad that I got my DD a school without balloting...

:salute:

Many parents also can't take the pressure...
My friend's son balloted in a school in Sengkang this morning, being called at the last two! When they called for the last three, it was for twin and he felt hopeless. But when they called for her son, he almost fainted ! His wife was waiting outside, couldn't take the pressure inside.
Their last weekend was awful, husband and wife were so tense, blamed each other, grandparents felt guilty ... etc...

Even they finally balloted in, what a dreadful and stress for P1 registration !
It is very wise to assess your endurance and we must believe whatever choice taken is the best choice
Everything happens for good reason :imcool:

Anyone can advise if I failed again in Phase 2Cs, what can I do later?

i'm PR too, today ballot out from JWSP, really sad......

Hi Sherlly,
Trust that everything happens for good reason... I pray for you and all the parents in this forum who are going for the next phases

Try to register for waitlist in that your P2C school (ask the school for this possibility). Don't give up and let you kid in at whatever primary school you can get in Ph 2Cs. I believe there is a possibility to apply for transfer to another school one year after. My friend's son (PR) from a school in Jurong West was transferred to Tao Nan since P4 after selected for GEP.
So, keep optimistic... every kid is special and blessing :grphug:

[quote=\"lena.aw\"]Praise and thank God!! My dd got balloted into PHPPS!!!

Congrats lena.aw! It must be a great relief for you Share your excitement with your DD. Make her feel honored to be part of the school and look forward to contributing to it.

Thanks I will. This is very nerve breaking, cannot go through another round. I really feel sorry for those who have balloted out. It happened to me before. My elder dd is now Sec 2. I balloted out for her during her P1 registration. We were so disappointed and I broke down after the balloting :([/quote]Congrats Lena... Some people said 2008 born kids quite special.. Since 2008, baby born bonus has increased a lot and since this year P1 registration provides additional 20 seats in advance for Ph2B/2C

What is there to address? :scratchhead:

The rule says closing time 4.30pm, means closing time is 4.30pm. If they step in before 4.30pm, the school will accept them as per normal. As much I empathise the plight of the affected parents, it's a risk they (and everyone else) need to accept when applying for a school > 1km.

You have been encouraging people to wait and see, and apply for a more popular school if there's no balloting or the chances are greater than the one they are enrolled in. Maybe the 4 parents heed your advice?

I agree with floppy. The rules are clear, and parents are playing by the rules. But there is something which MOE can indeed do to reduce the uncertainty of parents. It is what I have been proposing every year.

1. Let parents register and withdraw as per normal in the first 2 days of Phase 2C.
2. On the third day, allow only registrations for schools which are not over-subscribed. For withdrawals, only allow those who are facing balloting or who will not have a chance to ballot in Phase 2C, so that they can register in schools which still have vacancies.

If this change is made, then
a. Most parents will register on the 1st day.
b. Parents caught in a balloting situation will be able to react and get their school in Phase 2C instead of Phase 2C(S).

Thanks phtthp

Wish all the best :xedfingers:

Cool baby:

Hi anyone knows how the balloting works? When will the school contact us for ballot? And what is the timing for ballot?

School will inform by phone to each parents who will involve in balloting for the timing. Some schools already told the parents today who were in the school till registration closed.

Maybe Chef Kiasu can explain how the balloting works usually....
