Hi Im SC stay within 1-2km from RMPS, >2km from CHIJ Kellocks. My girl will register 2018 intake.


Our choice will be between RMPS phase 2C as i have younger son. Or CHIJ Kellocks phase 2B as I’m Catholic & have affiliated school.

Any idea how the balloting history @RMPS for phase 2C for SC living within 1-2km. Need to Ballot?

Thanks

You should probably expect to ballot for Radin Mas within 1-2km. For a few years, SC had to ballot within 1km. Last year bucked the trend because of low birth year. A number of friends were fully expecting to ballot last year staying within 1km and was pleasantly surprised (and relieved!) about not having to. But you should be prepared and get ready your second choice (for phase 2C Supplementary if you don't succeed in ballot at 2C).

CHIJ Kellock would be the best choice if you can go in at 2B but with a younger son, I understand why you would want to try for Radin Mas. Get ready a backup choice e.g. Zhangde, Gan Eng Seng or Cantonment.

Thank you canuckmum.


Yeah i feel like sandwich. Both have positive & negative.

Kellock can save her hopefully til sec.
While RMPS can save her brother.

But to other school you mentioned as above even more further.
I will choose those no balloting, as i have bad experience when i registered my eldest son few y ago.

Thank you dear, seems like I have to save my children one-by-one.

Is the younger boy born in a hot year? If not, you can register your daughter in CHIJ kellock since there is affiliation and you get to enjoy 2B. Why not think of registering one child at a time? Of course some parents would want to save the trouble of going for a co-ed school to kill 2 birds.

personally I would go for affiliation.

since you enjoy 2B, go for it because your daughter is also born in a hot year. at least you know she has secured a place and there is affiliation as well.

True, hope hubby not change his mind.


Thanks dear

Personally, I would go for affiliation too. You can also try to find another school with affiliation for your son.
