CHIJ TPY - Zero chance
Marymount - base on historical trend, 100% chance getting in. (assuming you are sporean or PR)

I’m also in a dilemma. Been thinking about it of late which school. Would love to hear comments and feedback on your thoughts.


#first child - girl
#born - June 2011

I’m torn in between 2 schools. Chij katong primary under 2A2 with affiliation to secondary or Tao Nan under 2C within 1km with no affliation to sec Most of her friends from pre school are going Tao nan under 2a1. Or maybe Ngee Ann under 2C within 1km? All schools are within 1km:)

1. CHIJ KC - guaranteed safe
2. Ngee Ann - should be safe < 1km
3. Tao Nan - guaranteed ballot < 1km

If this is your only child or your other children are also girls, both option 1 and 2 are viable.
If your other children include boys, go for option 2.
If you like a shot in the dark and is ok with a school that's not listed above, go for option 3.

IMHO, the last is the silliest option - when it comes to P1 registration, a bird in hand (i.e. option 1 and 2) is always worth 2 in the bush (i.e. option 3).

The past five years, CHIJ Toa Payoh in phase 2C has seen balloting for SC within 1km, you wont stand a chance to even ballot based on your current place of residence.

You have a good chance of entering Marymount Convent in 2C as there is hardly any balloting in this phase for SC.

I agree with Floppy. Go for the guaranteed route. You may end up with nothing should you be unsuccessful. Prepare backup plans just in case.

Hi kgchan,


safest is enrol your girl back into CHIJ Katong Convent school, under Phase 2A.

Ensure that your daughter do well in P1/P2.
At end of P2 : submit Transfer application form to Tao Nan, or target any other Gep schools (eg: St Hilda), or to CHIJ St Nicholas, which is affiliated to Secondary O level.
Within the same CHIJ Catholic family : it is easier to seek a Transfer, whether ur girl is from Katong Convent, from Toa Payoh, Nativity, OLGC, Kellock, our lady Queen of Peace, etc.

If there are vacancies :
if your girl do well in P1/P2, have good conduct, have niche Cca, she should be able to transfer in, successfully, at either end of P2, P3 or P4.

In fact, it is better to goto IJ St Nicholas, then to aim for Tao Nan, as Tao Nan is not affiliated to Secondary.
In fact, some pupils from Ai Tong primary, average in class & in standard, not Top students, can also get Transfer into St Nick, at end of P4 this year (2015), for P5 (2016).

Thanks phtthp, floppy and orb for your advise:) this platform rocks man;)


Yeah, likely will register to chij katong than see how it goes from there. Their psle results kinda drop this year. Plus my experience in the school was not very fantastic though. But much have change over the years.

As my girl is those kind that will take very long to warm up, transfer would be difficult:)

Thank u all for your input;)
