Does MGS primary have after school care/ student care?


If not, is there after school care/ student care nearby?

I intend to send my daughter to MGS primary. I stay in Woodlands, and it would be more convenient if there is such a facility within or near MGS, so that I can pick her up from there after work..

Please share if you could, thanks!!

Hello everyone,

Checking in now as my girl will be registering next year.
Question: with 1 km, can it be a rented property?

[dreamer1213]

hi

i think so. during registration, i don't remember being asked if the address we provided is a own-stay or rented apartment. as long as it's within the stipulated distance.

Thank you dreamer. Thought so too but saw a post somewhere about having owned property so that got me confused.

Yes. One of my friends rented a property within 1km from MGS and is still staying in that rented property. She used the rented property for registration purpose last year. She is still staying in that rented property though she has some other houses around in Singapore.

hello i m a hongkonger and will relocate to singapore soon. my daughter will register p1 next year as well. i m looking for a place to stay and the house agent told me that we can only use the rented address given that we have been staying there for at least 2 years. is that true?


meanwhile i m also looking for a good primary school for my daughters. …MGS is one of my choices. can you share how good or bad of this school?

Is your daughter a Singapore citizen or PR ?

If foreigner (your dd was Born in Hongkong, HK citizen), can't enter MGS.
Even PR also no chance to enter MGS :-
as Phase 2C require balloting only for SC, within 1 km.

here is MGS past historical balloting info, for SC staying less than 1 km.

Thx for your info. My hushand is a singaporean as well as my dd. We are planing to get a property or rent a place <1km nearby MGS. Any comments to this school? Heard that students are all from rich families…(but we are not)

Well done, MGS, for capturing the B, C & D division overall champions cup for the national inter-schools yesterday! The girls swam their hearts out and parents and teachers cheered their throats sore. The indomitable school spirit is indeed something to behold. An amazing clean sweep, indeed a royal flush of all wins! Congratulations!
