Holy Innocent conducts balloting under Phase 2C for those living < 1km. If you live beyond 1 km, you wouldnt stand a chance.


The success rate is 70%.

Hey... thanks for the good piece of intelligence Mum2Gals! So everyone who stay beyond 1km please take note.

:oops: which means I got no chance cos mine is between 1 and 2km distance from Holy innocents..unless I shift a few streets nearer to the school.. if not, just settled with monfort junior?

btw, was thinking of using my parent's address in jurong for consideration of Rulang Pri too..but heard need to ballot too..

[Mum2Gals]

Thanks Bishan Mom, that’s good to hear. I guess you are referring to school buses right ? Hopefully the time spent on the bus will not be too long. I checked with the bus operator, he said it will take about 20 mins if mine is the last pickup point.

[Bishan_Mom]

yes…sorry, I meant the school bus.


Oh, 20 mins, so…good, looks like travel time is quite short, should be fine for you then. I see Ai Tong kids from my block in Bishan also reach here in about 20 mins time.

[Mum2Gals]

There is no balloting for Monfort Junior.

1. your parents have to be non-working and taking care of your kids (statutory declaration needed)
2. even if your parents reside within 1km, your registration will be considered as 1-2km
3. as per previous year's statistics, balloting for rulang needed for those residing <1m from school...ie you will not even have a chance to ballot.

Monfort Junior ? Anyone has kids there ?

Any comments - appreciated

Montfort Junior has somehow been underachieving academically over the last decade and is playing second fiddle to hot schools like Holy Innocents, Paya Lebar MGS, CHIJ OLN, Hougang Primary, and Xinmin. The school appears to be quite active in non-academic programmes such as IT, though.

thanks KSChief for the info - actually it's my backup plan

so compare Monfort & St. Gabriel, which school do you think :?
