      Really need to call the school to find out the stats. Day 1 already 56 vs 52



      Day 1 already 56.
      Are we so stupid doing PV as PR?
      My hubby wants to go second choice at 2C but i want to try again .
      If we call to school to find out, will they answer us what we want to know. What should i ask?
      Really don't know what to do.

      We know that total 79 did PV at the same time like us but we can't know how many SC and PR?
      The only chance we have is <1km.

      Our second choice(Wellington) still got many vacancies (85 as at 2B Day1).
      I think it will still have vacancy at Wellington at 2CSupplement. Am i wrong thinking this way?

      BTW, thank you Kiasu , you make me stress out :lovesite:

      Even you are <1km, but your priority still behind all SC. In case you are not aware, here's the priority sequence:-
      SC <1km
      SC 1-2km
      SC >2km
      PR <1km
      PR 1-2km
      PR >2km

      You mentioned want to try again in 2C but 2C will be filled up by all from the priority in category 1. So you won't stand a chance at all. That's why all parents here are advising you not to waste your registration in 2C for the same school.

      Plan ahead and move forward in case you fail in 2B. Choose another school which are safe for PR in 2C.[/quote]
      Yeah i know this priority

      You may like to consider this:

      Anyway 2b you have only Canberra as option, stick to it, hopefully you have balloting chance.
      if (touchwood) fail, put in waitlist.
      for 2C, canberra is full for all SC. If you insist to try, you can go ahead but it will drag 2 more week before you can get a school in 2Cs.
      Wellington seem safe for 2C and 2Cs.

      we know all parents are trying their best.


      :thankyou:
      I think Wellington is safe for 2Cs.
      What would be the worst case ? 2Cs is the last phase for PR?
      Yeah, we are trying our very best.

      after 2CS, MOE will auto assign 1 school for you.
      still hope you put Wellington at 2C.[/quote]
      Auto assign is based on what criteria?

      Under 2C , zero chance for PR so 100% wasted. Go to 2nd at 2C, you still have 3rd choice for 2CS

      sometimes you will feel like puking blood repeating the caution.

      Hopefully for 2B they have a balloting chance for PR<1km.

      Yeah, no choice for us. Anyway, we gonna try again at 2C.
      If you are trying for Canberra at P2C, you will only be wasting your P2C chance.


      What do you mean by wasting P2C chance?
      We still have 2C supplement, right?
      But we are very confusing . We plan to go our second choice at 2C supplement.
      Any good idea ? Really headache ........
      Actually our SC application is still pending so that all these headache comes over ... ha ha

      Hi all senior mums 🙂

      Yesterday we registered at Canberra for Phase 2B but as we all expected numbers of applicants are more than available vacancies. So for us is less chance, i'd like to know can we register again at Canberra for Phase 2C as we believe high chance for <1km like us.

      But i don't want online. MOE announced 2C 29th is online, at school is 30th.
      One of our senior friends said some of the schools would reject to give you the registration form if you had already done at 2B regardless of your outcome. We are not sure but we are afraid .

      So anyone encountered such a thing or should we directly go online on 29th?

      Because our first target is Canberra, we like to try any chances we could have at any particular phase.

      Why do you think your chance at P2C will be higher if your chance in P2B is low? :scratchhead: P2C is more competitive.

      You can, of course, apply at P2C again if you do not get into the school at P2B. However, historically, for Canberra at P2C, balloting is only for SC staying within 1 km of the school.



      Yeah, no choice for us. Anyway, we gonna try again at 2C.

      First of all, i am not a mum.

      If one fail to obtain a seat in 2B, he/she can attempt at 2C again. Of course the odd will be lower given the competition.

      I am quite sure some school reject application because the school know that the applicants has zero chances, not due to the outcome of the 2B. Example a parent 1-2km of canberra eligible for 2B, balloting was done in 2B for 1-2km but for phase 2C, all positions are filled up by those within 1km, the school would be kind enough to ask the applicant not to enter.


      yeah you are right.
      We will go online for 2C

      Hi mums, I'd like to know academic feedback/review for Wellington Primary School and Endeavour Primary School.
      We are still confusing which one better. Actually we did 60 hours of PV at Canberra Primary but less chance because there are a lot of SCs. (We are PR).
      Next week will be phase 2B and we still thinking for our second choice in case balloting..
      Last week went to Endeavour Open House but i feel not so great compare with Canberra. Because last year we went Canberra Open house but unfortunately we missed Wellington open house which was at early May.
      So we are very confused.

      Hopefully get a place at Canberra.
      BTW, we are <1km.
      Hi Octavia

      I went to both Wellington & Endeavour open house. For Wellington they do not have open house for this year. if you would like to visit the school you can call their school and they will make arrangement.
      I am still considering which school to chose too. Last Sat went to Northoaks open house & like it v much but it too far from my house.

      Can share how good is Canberra?[/quote]


      Hi Ivy,

      Yes, Canberra is great. All the students are very active, approachable, well-communicate with visitors. By looking at how they do open-house, school itself organised very well.

      Northoak is not bad? but it is far from my house too.
