Actually I am curious about GY situation too. Though I live in Bishan, school in AMK is closer to me than GY. Those folks staying near GY's Bishan premises have the option to go KCPPS and schools at Tao Pa Yoah. I wonder why people avoid the school just around the block qnd rather travel further for another school. Any parents with kids at GY can share with us?

That's the reason why parents who's genuine staying around the school have problem sending their kids in. while parent who are staying far away from the schools are taking the advantage of clans & religions status to get in. Especially for parents who are not fortunate to move around the island even they know the chance of getting in is very slim. Really pity for them as they are the one who are being stucked without much choices left.

tankee:

yes. result is by post.


A day or 2 after the result date.

MOE will publish the schools that will be balloting and for what distance. And we will post those information here as well. And the registration status breakdown by distance is posted on noticeboards at the school and periodically updated bny the registration staff.

Usually, each school has about 2 registration counters. So depends on the arrival pattern of the parents.

Half day is more than enough. When I registered last year, it took about 15min.

Hi Tankee,

Need to clarify a bit here. For P2C, on the third day afternoon are we able to see the latest result of the applications vs vacancies by distance (e.g <1km>2km) in the school itself? Tks in advance.

cherrygal:

Can anyone provide the statistics for 2009 and earlier, how many usually apply at Phase 2B for Maris Stella?


Currently, 2010 places about 90 each for Phase 2B and 2C. What is the chance for >2km pple?

As Catholic High has almost filled up (9 places each for 2B & 2C), I anticipate more of bishan catholic parents to try either Maris Stella or SJI Jr now...

Just curious, is it all catholic parents can register in any catholic schools in Singapore? I thought it only allow those which are directly affiliated with the school. Btw is Catholic High & Maris Stella sharing the same church or something like that? :?

Understand that after 2A2, the remaining vacancies will be split into half between 2B & 2C. What happen if there is balloting under 2B, for those who are unsccessful will they given another chance under 2C? Tks. :lol:

Pardon me if this question has been answer before. If we registered in P2B and given a place, can we still withdraw at P2C to register at the 1st choice school if chances are very high? :?

For P2C, understand there are 3 days for registration. Can we register in the 1st day and decide whether to withdraw on the 3rd day?


Of course, this will depend on the outcome of the application vs vacancy ratio. My question is can we check with the school on the 3rd day noon on the outcome and then make the decision? Will the school be able to release such infor to the parent? :?

Would appreciate any parent with such experience to comment. Thanks.
