[gerald32]

Hi,


Inputs required on which option to go for:

Option 1:
Within 1km, phase 2C but definitely balloting for SC < 1km (based on many years history)

Option 2:
Bet 2-3km, phase 2C but undersubscribed for past 2-3 years in this phase (altho prior to that there were balloting in this phase for SC > 2km)

Thanks!

Raffles girls phase 2C and St margarets 2Cs...latter is closer to home...

Which one to go for..dilemma..pls guide..thanks

RGPS is a gep centre. If you think your child can thrive in the environment, then can consider. St Margarets has affiliation to its Sec. This will help take some stress off PSLE.

If you are registering in 2018 for 2019 intake, that's the Dragon babies batch. Expect the competition to be at least 1 level more intense than the past years' history. Option 2 seems safer. Seems.

If you can live with the schools in 2Cs, then can consider option 1.

Thanks.

Just to add:

Option 1: big name sap pri sch
Option 2: mid range catholic pri sch

As long as u have a backup school under Phase 2C Supp & u don’t mind the backup school, & u are safe, no need to ballot for backup-school in 2CS, then proceed to try your luck balloting under 2C, for this SAP big-name primary school

You also need to consider: can your child survive higher Chinese? Take a look at the HCL textbooks and assessment books at Popular. The expectation & stress level at SAP schools is way up there.

And mid-range Catholic girls schools are far better than (the) mid-range Catholic boys school (SJIJ?) If your child is a girl, I'd say just go straight for the 2C option 2, especially if it's Marymount Convent. Nice holistic and loving, low-pressure environment where she can learn Chinese at her own pace.

I think the time has already come...

You have around 10 months before registration starts.

Ya, I am already so worried for the Dragon babies batch next year. Will be very exciting to watch! But my SIL living in Sengkang is still very chill/blur/dunno thinking what... :snooze:
