tankee:
Not comparing year to year but rather, between schools. Some of them really put a lot of emphasis on academic even when they are in lower pri. Some parents prefer it that way...coz if no tests, then donno what the kids learnt.
IMO Comparing year to year, previous year is always like honeymoon :sad: -

Cannossa Convent and Cedar Pri can still be your back up at phase 2Cs. But Marymount this year may see most of the seats filled up at 2C. If u stay nearer to Cannossa Convent than Marymount, you should go for the nearest girls' school.
If I stay near your place, I will prefer to send my child to Canossa Convent than Cedar Primary if have daughters only. -

Most probably we will go for the school that requires no balloting. I can't imagine the stress of going through balloting in Phase 2C, child can't get balloted in, go Phase 2Cs, balloting again, child can't get balloted in and child enter Phase 3 with any remaining school that still has vacancies. Imagine the time wasted, and agony and stress. After tonite, I will not have to worry anymore. Good luck parents.
Glad that you are more or less decided on which school to register. Last night must be a 煎熬 for you. :hugs: -
ryes:
Depends on how u ask the question? Yesterday when I called my target school the clerk was only willing to disclose the number of sc applicants, no breakdown. And even then she stress is ball park figure coz school is still processing (and that was at 4.55pm).Any further updates on smps?
I can't figure out why there's a differences in the total applicant told by the sch vs moe website. Is it the sch normally disclose applicants of sc and just omit the pr? -
quixation:
干杯！ :celebrate:Seriously I think alot peope without children or soon-to-be primary going children simply cannot understand the stress we go thru..... even those bo-chap parents.... no one can comprehend...thankful for the parents here to go thru this together... thks all!
All the best to us!!!! -
Tks sembgal for ur adv

Blue Pearl,
where do you stay ?
if you stay in the east, pls note that there is no school bus from Marymount Convent to the east. I inquired last week, because my friend stay in Bedok, and she considering Marymount. I helped her contact Marymount school bus operator. He said Bedok too far - no school bus go there, to fetch kids to Marymount. But if you stay around Toa Payoh, Bishan, Sin Ming, then ok; got school bus.
compared to Marymount - Cannosa Convent is a smaller school.
Marymount has 8 P1 classes (240 pupils), whereas Cannosa Convent is only half her size, ie. 4 P1 classes (120 pupils).
academic wise :-
you may go Cannosa Convent website, check her psle results.
In terms of Marymount, her CCA are more interesting - because she offer Artistic gym, Rhythmic gym. Canossa Convent don't have gym; her CCAs are limited.
As Canossa is a small school, the students are closely knitted.
The teachers are caring too. Since is a convent (Catholic school), the child can attend Catechism class (optional), to learn some values. Generally, the girls are quiet, well behaved. Some of them do well at psle, move onto CHIJ St Nicholas Secondary, a small handful minority go RGS. Others go Tanjong Katong Girls Secondary, other CHIJ Secondary schools, plus a few other schools in the east.
you may check Canossa Convent PSLE results here, gauge her standard :-

you may compare 2011 Canossa Convent psle, against Marymount Convent's :-

As for Cedar -
is like Canossa, because also 4 P1 classes (120 intake). Is co-ed.
Cedar is hidden inside Wan Tho Avenue, along a stretch of quiet landed property. The nearby HDB flats are Joo Seng area, also a quiet housing estate. Cedar Secondary is beside Cedar primary.
because small school (only 4 classes), perhaps Cedar is low profile.
I could not find Cedar psle on her website.
if you ask me, in terms of size, Marymount is much bigger, hence more vibrant, because more pupils, more activities in school. Then go Marymount. Since Marymount still has vacancies now in 2C, then go Marymount. But if you stay in the east, not advisable, because no school bus, unless you drive her to and fro, everyday. Then how about her CCA days ?
for a start, you may call up Marymount school bus operator, see if got school bus go your house:-

Am surprised that NAP is more popular than Tao Nan this year. No over subscription at Tao Nan till Day 2
To my friends for Day 3 especially to my friends from Tao Nan n Ngee Ann(where there is confirmed ballotting ) all the best.
Pray that you do get into the No 1 n No 2 school in Marine Parade. -
Hi all,

all the best to parents going through this phase!
