[quote=\"tkchua\"][quote=\"joybabe\"]Hi just received letter from the school that my dd had secured a place in p1 next year. Orientation is on 1 Nov. I am new to the school and appreciate if anyone could share with me how much is the transport cost from Potong Pasir to the sch?

Hi joybabe, may I know what made u choose olgc for your dd? I am considering this school in phase 2c supp.

Hi TKChua, I chose the sch mainly because it's the nearest gal sch. I had actually enrolled my dd in IJ Katong initially to avoid balloting but was later found out that there is no sch bus from Potong Pasir to IJ Katong. I did withdrawal on the last day and quickly enrolled her as I felt high chance without balloting for >2km in OLGC. I'm quite pleased with the staff and teachers during registration process.[/quote]


Thank you for sharing. I hope I can secure a place next tue. :)[/quote]

All the best to you.

I thought you are applying for Marymount convent? Whichever schools you have chosen, hope no balloting required! I am having headache as to which one to go for... but will monitor and choose one without balloting

[/quote]Finn Finn - yes, first choice mcs but I worry need balloting for applicant staying more than 2km. I want to secure a place without balloting. Chij olgc is 1-2km and last year stat was ballot for spr. Even though left with 9 places I hope sc still stand a good chance.

I think last year stats was balloting for PR in 2C. Don't think OLGC entered 2CS last year, so 9 seats for 1-2km might be risky. But good luck! Hope there's no balloting for you!

Hi TKChua, I think you still stand a good chance but suggest you monitor closely with the school to avoid balloting. I think last year balloting for sc >2km in 2C. This year seemed less competitive for all girls sch in 2C. Wonder if 2008 got less girls.

Hi Tkchua, there may be SC within 1km who will try the 9 vacancies at CHIJ OLGC. Those staying near Rosyth and CHIJ OLGC will opt for Rosyth first at Phase 2C if they have younger male siblings. It is risky and you need to monitor statistic closely as you are more than 1km. If the number of applicants are more than 9 at Phase 2Cs for within 1km, you may lose the chance to even go for balloting at Phase 2CS at CHIJ OLGC. I advise you to monitor the statistic closely for CHIJ OLGC, Cannosa Convent and Marymount Convent and you decide which school your dd has the highest chance to enter at Phase 2Cs even if balloting is required. Don’t ever go to Phase 3 because you will be very depressed if you enter Phase 3 stage. Make a wise decision and have a restful weekend.

Hi, saw several posts asking for student care. There's a newly opened one just a short walk from the school - My Learning Sanctuary, at 45 Burghley Drive. Call the manager Adeline at 6280 1375 to check it out. Heard there's a promo for students enrolling for 2014. Good luck!

Thanks for the valuable info Sok Yap, I tried calling and the number is not in use now. Maybe I'll try to visit the place on Friday. Is your kid attending this student care?
