22 popular primary schools face the prospect of a ballot, after the latest registration stage closed. Phase 2B - the fourth of seven phases - is for children whose parents have volunteered in the schools, have links to churches or clans or are active community leaders.
At Nan Chiau there was an over subscription for placements (80:61) and we had to go through balloting on 23 july. As Chris had to work whilst mimi was away, we couldn't be present to witness the balloting process. Surprisingly, the school was extremely swift with it's administration. The result reached us in the evening. And guess what? The kids have secured placement at Nan Chiau Primary School! Chris was exhilarated as his voluntary hours did not go to waste! Having heard the result natalie seemed pleased though she didnt quite understand why it has to be nan chiau primary or what's so fantastic about it. Well she will understand when she grows up. I am worried that she may be overly stressed by the amount of work that's expected from her. Well let's bridge it when the time comes. For now, we shall celebrate the victorious win!
