Anyone can advise if there is any assessment conducted during the Orienation Day?


How does the kid split into the class?

Yes there will be assessment conducted during the Orientation Day but the purpose is to identify pupils who need additional learning support and not to \"stream\" them. Pupils are assigned to classes randomly.

nss:

Just back from registration. There were already more than 70 applicants by 9am....

Which school?

I am within 1Km to SV, cant decide if i should give up my P2A2 in a further sch or should i 'gamble' in SV under 2C. So on the last day, if i call up, they will advise the number of applicants within 1KM?

mama_g,
as to whether to give up your p2a2 privilege, ask yourself these questions:-
1) what are your backup plans?
2) are the schools in your backup plans acceptable and justify you giving up your P2A2 in another school priority?

in deciding such, look at whether you can secure your backup school (don't think you can withstand another round of balloting), and whether you can accept the backup school (in phase 2c supp). getting into SV via phase 2c will be a bonus but be prepared.

good luck.

Can't agree more with jedamum....

If it's phase 2C, for those staying 1-2km from school, when should they register? Any of the 3 days or after? Even though the results are not out yet? Keep calling school to ask the results? Please advise

My advice is to call up the school at the end of day 1, i.e. after 4.30 pm. By then the school may be able to advise those outside 1 km that there's no point applying if there are more applicants within 1 km than the vacancies available. If there's vacancies still available at the end of day 1, then can go to school to apply on day 2 but be prepared to withdraw the application should the situation changes. You still have day 3 to apply for other schools. In any case, I would advice that you should be clear about your 2nd, 3rd and 4th choice schools now. It's bad to make decisions in a rush when phase 2C starts.

ps. For SV, I think it's very, very unlikely to have vacancy for 1-2 km.

Dear all, My nightmare just started :gloomy:


Can any1 please advise my chance for my DD getting in to SV under P2C, within 1KM, Singaporean. Will the school release the breakdown applicants in terms of 1KM, 1 to 2KM etc? if all applicants are within 1km, will those within 200 or 300 metres have previllage? :?: :sad:

I believe all those who wish to enter the school will go for phase 2C. From there if there is more than 20, which I'm sure there will be, will ballot for these seats. The school will give priority to those staying 0.5km follow by 1km and so on. I'm observing the situation like you too. You fall in 1km right?

Based on past history, balloting ratio for SV could be in the vicinity of 20% success rate for those within 1 km. Those outside 1 km would most likely not have any chance at all. Last year there were 121 applicants within 1 km balloting for 33 seats (27% success probability). This year with 21 seats (Yes 21 seats and not 19 seats because there were 2 withdrawals from earlier phases) the success probability may be lower, depending on the number of applicants. If the number of applicants within 1 km is about the same as last year, then the success probability would be 21/120 = 17.5%. However, many parents may be deterred by the stress of balloting considering the low success probability and would apply in other schools so the final number of applicants is anyone's guess.

There is no additional segregation of priority based on distance for applicants within 1 km. However, citizens get 2 ballot slips while PRs get only 1. So citizens have 100% better chance than PRs in the ballot.

Are my eyes playing a trick on me? I saw SV left with only 18 vacancies for phase 2B

Your eyes are fine. 18 vacancies for phase 2B but since the school restricted the number of PVs to 15, there's a high chance they will all be in.

A different story for phase 2C. Competition will be stiff for those living within 1 km. No chance for those outside 1 km.

phtthp:

this yr for P2B, SV got how many PVs ?


-if <= 18 PVs, means all go in, no ballot.
-if > 18 PVs, means ballot liao! I

I know there was 38 PV but 100+ applicants. But someone says it turn out to be only 15 PV manage to grt in. So how many PV for SV this year? :scratchhead:

There are 15 PVs for this year's Phase 2B.
