Really arh? Kena issit? For 2B?

Looks like it... not many schools had >60 intake for yesterday. It is one of it.

2A2 1st day > 60 leh!! [/quote]RRMummy..do you mean < 60 = less than ??
Do you have backup plan in mind?

RRMummy:

I have no luck with the school I'm aiming. My friends have better luck than me... they call the school 3 times a day and still get an update...

........................
Yes, had same experience too. Depends on luck and timing that the calls were made...and WHO picked up the phone. Have you been using the house phone, try mobile phone..change luck mah! :xedfingers: :xedfingers: :xedfingers:

Hello! I am new to Kiasu Parents website.


I must thank you for all the updates the last 2 days over CHS registration. I join all the Bishan mummies in dealing with stress! Today is a critical day for me to decide if to put my boy in SJIJ under 2A2 as my hubby is an old boy or just forgo and wait for 2C for CHS. I am vexed as I wanted to go by faith under 2C but looking at the available vacancies, I am waivering in faith! Shucks!

Hello Gingerbread!

Today's a crucial day for you...why don't you register your boy for SJIJ & secure him a 'seat' under a Catholic school first? So you can 'buy' time for next few days and decide again if you want to try for CHS under 2C? YOu can withdraw your application from SJIJ next week should you opt to try for CHS next Thursday.

Good morning Bishan Mummies !


The day started out bright and cheery but right now, there is a heavy overcast and it is starting to drizzle...

As of yesterday, 37 have registered with the following breakdown:

Less than 1km = 5
Between 1 to 2km = 2
More than 2km = 30

The good news is, there is not a single soul at CHS this morning at 9am.
So, cheer up and stay hopeful !

Good morning ClubNAKO!

Thanks for the update. :thankyou: :celebrate:
That means there's unlikely to be any balloting for 2A2 and more places for 2B/2C!

Sure RRmummy! KIV for updates.... :salute:

I think the intake for CHS is the same as last year...210 max. The intake for Phase 1 and Phase 2A1 was surprisingly overwhelming, leaving a mere 62 vacancies. So all of us may subject to balloting if the application for these 2 days exceed 62! :xedfingers:

BTW, ClubNako posted under Bishan schools earlier that there was a high turnout for registration for CHS today!

:!: :!: :!:

Good Luck then!! :xedfingers:

Thanks RRmummy!! :celebrate: :xedfingers:

Dear Cherrygal, Dear Growie,


31 registered at CHS as of 11am this morning.
2 are within 1km, 4 are between 1 to 2Km and 25 are outside 2km.
Quite a lot, isn't it ?

Wow...that's alot indeed! Thanks for update. It's like 10 people registering every hour. So by 4.30pm today, another 20 people would have registered.
So what are the chances that more than 62 people will register? CHS will break record if ballot needs to be conducted for those staying more than 2km... & what's more it's under 2A2! :!:
