      MGS No affliation at all, to any Methodist pre-school (kindergarten).


      not just MGS.
      All Methodist, Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian primary schools -
      No affliation to any kindergarten / pre-school / child-care centre.

      Even in Phase 2B, itself :-
      MGS primary (Blackmore drive, at Bukit Timah Road) already required balloting for SC, less than 1 km, amongst the Methodist church members.

      Outside 1 km, from MGS :
      don't even have chance to ballot.

      can contact MGS primary Admin (general office), for past years' P1 balloting statistics.

      This Straits Times below reported that 47 children competed for 31 vacancies, at MGS primary last year, July 2017 .

      Perhaps consider other primary school, nearer your house instead.
      or
      Find out or contact Paya lebar Methodist primary, if you are outside 2 km for SC, what's your chance of Phase 2B balloting ? They can provide u statistics.

      MGS (Blackmore drive, Bukit timah) is so much more competitive, harder to enter, compared to Paya Lebar MGS (Lorong Ah Soo)

            Yes, you might have a better chance if you're a member of Methodist church. There were rare occasions when MGS didn't require balloting for applicants within 1-2 km, but usually balloting happens for applicants <=1km.

                Phase 2C is open to all regardless of race or religion. So it doesn't matter whether you're catholic or not. It only matters in Phase 2B.

                    No at all. In fact, in both my son school, another catholic school. Catholic are the minority... only about 20% of their class population join the Jesus and I class.
