Hi Orb,


thanks for the suggestion! yes, we shall do a morning try out one day!

leejeslyn, sorry no, I don't have contacts but I'm also in AMK area at ave 10.
If our boys do happen to be in same class and have same timetable maybe we can work out the going home transport.

Hi shugarhigh, sure....thanks for your offer!

Hi, may I know what were the considerations when you chose this school over others? I am looking at St. Gabriel’s, Holy Innocent and Maris Stella. I am quite undecided. Each school have their plus points.

You should then question yourself what is my child suited for?
Apart from being catholic schools and has secondary affiliations, you should ask yourself if you want your child to study in a co-ed or single gender school.

If still undecided, then consider the one nearest to your home.

thanks orb.

I think the next thing I should do is to bring him to both schools and see which he feels more comfortable in.

[shugarhigh]

Yes do visit the schools to get a feel.

For St Gabriel's we went during the open house and my boy quite like the place.
For us we made our choice based on:
1. mission/Catholic school
2. not too far from home
3. less stress during application

Hope you be able to make your best decision eventually

Hi Parents I am interested to get my son (2017 intake). Would appreciate if anyone can advise me whether is it better to do PV? Not sure if under 2C need to go thru balloting a not.

For the past 2 years for 2014/2015 intake, no balloting under phase 2C.

We have our 1st Child got into SGPS in 2014 and we did not participate PV.
And we are staying outside 2km from school.

Hi parents, need some advice. We are registering next year for 2017 intake. SC stay in Sengkang. We want to apply for Nan Chiau - NCPS but most likely tough because that school every year SC within 1km need to ballot also. I'm keen on getting my child into SGPS if NCPS not successful. Should I use up our Phase 2c chance in NCPS and then do phase 2Cs in SGPS? If this route, what are our chances of getting into SGPS? Or is it better to straight away use our Phase 2c chance for SGPS? We stay more than 2km from SGPS.
One more question is, comparing SGPS and Montfort Junior- which school is better based on discipline, academic and CCA? Thanks for your input.

Hi Savannah00,


NCPS has really hot history of balloting every year. how near are you staying from the school?
to what I know, last year SGPS no balloting and filled up just nice after 2cs.
maybe you can check on this year's numbers after registrations are over.
But for us we try to avoid the stress of balloting as much as possible.

Maybe best if you could visit the schools and see which environment you prefer? My boy is not in SGPS yet so i can't give you much advice on the school, but only that we rather liked it when we visited during the open house. School interior doesn't feel too big or overwhelming and lower primary classrooms are on the lower floors.:)
