2018 P1 registration exercise for 2019 intake

[meow1607]

Any advice for the following:

1) Kheng Chèng
2) Guangyang
3) First Toa Payoh
All schools are > 2km for me as I'll only be moving around Braddell end of this year....

If Kheng Chèng fails, Guangyang or First Toa payoh will be better? :xedfingers:

Maris Stella 1-2km

St Andrews junior >2km
Geylang methodist >2km
Mee toh >2km

Maris Stella is my first choice but am worried balloting will omit 1-2km entirely due to the little number of vacancies left for Phase 2C this year.
Pls advise on chances. And what is the next best second choice.
Thanks!

Your combi is like 3 Christian and 1 Buddhist school. Religious preference? But guessing u r staying at MacPherson private estate or Joo Seng due to proximity for the 3 schools except Mee Toh? I stay at Macpherson HDB side, but have already secured place at Maha Bodhi in phase 2B.

Am going to be blunt and say u r realistically selling yourself short as all the choices except for Geylang Methodist are hot schools and should not have vacancies left to be a second choice if Maris Stella fails.

Since u r even considering Geylang Methodist, why don't u consider Canossa as backup plan since it opens up to boys next year? Cedar Primary maybe if close by? I stay very near a student Care centre with huge population of Geylang Methodist kids and am not impressed to be frank. My son's classmate's parents are sending their girl to Canossa despite their elder boy in Geylang Methodist. Was leaning towards Canossa as backup over Geylang Methodist myself if I did not strike my MBS jackpot tbf.

Good luck.

Thanks for advice! Will take a look at Canossa as I've heard good reviews about their teachers from some friends as well
No religious preference for me and decided on the alternative choices as my mom is able to send my boy to these schools due to proximity or convenience of direct bus.

You don’t have a chance for KC > 2km. Go for GY at Phase 2C.

Maris Stella 1-2km (42 vacancies for 2C)

Yangzheng 1-2km (31 vacancies for 2C)

Which is a safer bet? Thanks very much.

I think both also likely to ballot within 1km. Hv an alternative.

Henry park primary less than 1km
Fairfield Methodist primary less than 1km

Any chance? How to select ? Based on risk?

Yep, agree cos I'm also considering Maris 1-2KM, but seems like will ballot within 1km even. Explains my previous posts of searching for alternatives to have higher chances of securing a place within Phase 2C. :xedfingers:
Historically Yangzheng should be safe for 1-2km but number of places much lesser this year as well.

Suggest calling up the 2 schools to check so you can better weigh your chances before final decision made.
Good luck!

Rosyth is def more academic...are U ready to go thru it w your son? Remember our children's homework can be our homework too...

:rotflmao: very true...our children's homework AND exams will also become OURS TOO.
practically every member of the family is involved for art, 抄写 and planning CA/SA revision becomes our responsibility as well.

Hello!

Problem is that i dont have a safe backup in 2cs.

Yes I will be driving him to school.

Rosyth is 3-4 applicants to 1 spot. think hard if you can bear with the risk.
St gabriel looks fine for 2C (just watch the numbers as 2C pan out)
