None for PR, all to SC children per MOE's website

http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/balloting/

Done with the balloting for P2CS on Tues 21/8.

MOE website stated balloting for SCs staying beyond 2 km from school.

From what klleow said, 21 vyed for 4 slots. Given that there were 24 places with 44 applicants, we can deduce the following:

1. 20 places went to SCs staying within 2 km
2. 4 places were balloted by SCs staying beyond 2 km; there were 21 applicants in this category
3. 44-20-21 = 3 applicants left --> most likely they are PRs. These 3 PRs were unsuccessful.

Right?

Yeah, the school admin was not transparent about the numbers on the last day of registration. I was told at 1 hour prior to closing of the registration that there are about 10 places left, with slight over 20 applicants.... had they been transparent enough, i think more SCs would have withdrawn and the poor 3 PRs would not have wasted their chances...

For 2C Supp, Marymount Convent had 21 vying for 4 slots...

I came back around 3.30pm from Marymount… the office just said that’s there’s less than 10 places remaining for over 2km… with slightly over 20 applicants for the remaining places… not much of help at all! ;-( not sure about the breakdown

Just came back from Marymount Convent. Saw another 5 set of parents applying for P1. Tried talking to the office, but they refused to let us know how many of the applicants are within 2 km… not helpful at all, esp if I know that all 24 places were already taken up by those within 2km, then at least the rest of us won;t waste our chance at other schools…
