Just curious, the figures posted on MOE website is already filter out those not eligible?

Example NC reflect total 203 for phase 2C n they conducting ballot for all those SC within 1km.
So 203 is all SC and within 1km???

Nope, it doesn't show the true numbers that are eligible for balloting. MOE's
vacancies page only reflects the total number of applicants that have registered during phase 2C as of the end of the final day (which includes everyone).

:thankyou:

I remember 12 years ago, it was pure madness for the dragon kids registration + year 2000.

I do remember seeing more boys in son's kindergarten on the graduation night...could it be coincidence that more boys stayed around the school?

Yes!! My son's class got alot of boys. Gals only a handful.

can anyone advise on Nan Chiau situation?? im planning to register my gal to NC under 2C which has abt 53 vacancies...im staying within 1km...so is the chance high?? and how do we check how many registered under 2C (within 1km) on the last day - 2 Aug??? :thankyou:

Confirm ballot within 1km for 2C and last year there are abt 203 applications for 74 slots. This year left 53 slots so u need a plan B as high chance of ballot out.

Nan chiau is oversubscribe for phase 2B. Confirm ballot for 2C. Last year the odds are 3 fighting for 1 vacancy n all is less than 1km.

Heard that Nan Chiau is rejecting all staying more than 2km for today registration.

Yes this article reminded me of our MP/Minister's kids who got into popular schs via Alumni route. Is like a \"legacy\" that they get to be entitled.

If ever tmr's Straits Times headline printed \"XX Minister registering his child in a neighborhood sch, instead of his Alumni sch\". If only someone up there publicised that he is applying his child to a pri sch which (1.) has a history of low enrolment and (2.) poor passing PSLE results, I then will be convinced that every sch is a good sch.

Haha...thats what my hubby mention too. But come to think of it lar, some parents including myself would just want our kids to go to our old school mah and because the trust and foundation is there. So its really not fair if they want to scrap the alumni priority away.
I think first to scrap should be phase 2B for GRL, during my last 2yrs as a GRL i saw alot of them join rc due wanting to get their kids to their choices of school and after getting what they want they resigned.
And they were not genuine wanting to serve the residence.
Some even worst, knowing never get GRL status straight away resign from RC becos
Don't want to waste anymore time volunteering.
P.S. Just sharing some real life incidents i met and not targetting anyone in here.

Hi anyone have updates for Nan Chiau?? Helping a friend to check.

Hi All,

like to check what's the official school hour, recess/ break time for Ai Tong and appreciate if someone can recommend a good after-school care?

Our house is 7km away and we are still contemplating to send him to after-school care or back home where our helper will help look after him.

The school itself have after school care.
