    • RE: All About Church/Clan/Society Membership

      Clan members do take note that if you are signing off membership application for strangers, you are violating the clan’s membership rules and also bringing yourself unnecessary stress as you Nv know whether the person you are signing off is your competitor during a ballot.

      [quote=xyun08 post_id=2030711 time=1626359672 user_id=128943]Hi

      I have been looking at the historical data of Marymount convent and in general it seems 2C is safe without balloting and last two years figures were quite healthy .
      However I noticed in 2018 the figures were high for 2C applicants (121 applied for 134 vacancies). Again this kind of high figures appeared in 2012-2014.
      ….

      Did you put in the 2a2 pcps just in case?

      I did Register for PCPS in 2A2. Now it is 30 applicants versus 31 vacancies although final figures not updated yet . I did a check with MOE and they say if I managed to get in and wanna withdraw can email to the school before 2C registration . Once the school confirms then we are ok to proceed in 2C for registration.

      So well now I just wait for results and then after that still have a little more time to decide before 2C.[/quote]Pardon me, but i feel that you should have made up ur mind before applying for the 2a2. You could have caused the ballot to happen when you aren’t sincere in registering for the sch in the first place when you are even thinking of withdrawing. There may be other kid who sincerely want to apply for the sch but got balloted out because of you and then u withdraw to go another sch. Seriously? Selfish act.

    • RE: All About Primary Schools' Balloting History

      For the statics provided under Phase 2B especially for schools which require balloting <1km, does it include all applicants regardless how near or far they stay (e.g. <1km, 1-2km etc), or just specific to the a the distance range in which balloting occurred (e.g. <1km)?

    • RE: All About Home Addresses

      Any parents who are separated but not officially divorced like not yet done with the papers? Like just not staying together? In this case of different addresses in NRIC, what will happen? Will we have problems registering?

      Hello, I have go through a number of recent pages but couldnt find an answer to my question and the earlier pages not sure if the policy is still the same almost 10 years later.

      May I check on the following:

      I have submitted the volunteer registration form about 2 weeks ago and did a follow up subsequently, was told that I would be informed when there is a committee meeting.
      May I know if this is the correct path to take?
      How often is the committee meeting ?
      Is joining the committee meeting already considered under the observation stage?


      Thank you.

      Meeting usually monthly, not sure situation now if there are changes in some RC/NC. If you attend the meeting, usually means observer already, you can ask when you attend. It might take more time since now situation causes delay in processes.

      Thanks for the info. So after observer then will be EM and required to be EM for at least 2 years before the registration, so all in all 3 years in advance is a good timeline to start? Is it all EM with 2 years of service is able to get the Phase 2B letter or only some who meet a certain criteria?

      Yes, me. Failed in phase 2B, no choice but to try 2C after. This year seems to be the most competitive in a decade (for the school we tried for).

      Its so depressing to put in so much effort to be in an earlier phase but yet lost to luck. Is there any site which shows the past year records of balloting required based on distance ?

      https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/singapore-primary-1-registration-school-balloting-history/[/quote]Thank you. so we go buy the colour to know if there was ballot within the particular distance right. Any idea for 2018 and 2019 stats?

      Anyone failed phase 2b ballot for clan members? if we put waitlist for the school will they give priority to clan phase 2b parents? i was just looking at some of the past year statistics and realised that sometimes the number of vacancies taken is lesser than the available vacancies but the number that applied actually exceeded the available vacancies. Any idea why so?

      Eg.
      Available : 40
      Applies: 50
      Taken: 39

      How could there be 39 taken when the available is 40 and those who applied exceeded 40.

      Yes, me. Failed in phase 2B, no choice but to try 2C after. This year seems to be the most competitive in a decade (for the school we tried for).
