Hi. Does anyone know if GMPS and GMSS alumni are the same? If a parent was from GMSS, can the kid be registered under Phase 2A2?

Unfortunately you cannot consider as GMSP alumni even if you are ex student or alumni of GMSS. My wife and I have checked tat with the school last year.

Good news is, from the balloting history, GMSP usually have vacancies for Singaporean (assuming you are) at p2c even more than 2km.

I stay around Mountbatten area and within 1km of Kong Hwa School.

My 1st choice would have been Kong Hwa but I worry about the stress level there.
Heard the principal quite academic driven.
Anyone has kids there or heard some other things?

My other choice would be Tanjong Katong Primary but I think it is temporarily moving to Bedok for 2 years… which is quite far.
Other choices include Canossa Convent and Geylang Methodist Primary, Canossa Convent would be bit further away compared to Geylang Methodist…

I think Canossa Convent should be no problem to get in. As for Geylang Methodist, I’m not too sure.

My kids are in Gmps and happy so far. If you are within 2km and SC, there should be no prob getting in.
