It is unclear (as yet) how many affiliation points discount will be given under the AL system. MOE is supposed to provide indicative cut-off points (including for affiliated students) around May this year. So keep an eye out.

But you dont need affiliation to get into Manjusri because the COP for affiliation is equal or higher than non affiliation COP (depending on stream). More like no one wants to go there. Not that it is “little known”.

I would pick MS over MT too. I dont like schools with black shoes.

MS is SAP, MT is not? I think?[/quote]

A bit harsh to say that “no one wants to go there”. Have a look at the aggregate range of the students who choose Manjusri. The highest end of the range was 221 (affiliate) and 235 (non-affiliate). Why did they choose Manjusri? Maybe religious reason?

Anyway, between the two - MS or MT, I’ll pick the most convenient, assuming religious belief is not a concern. However, if child is the only son, MS probably edge it.

https://postimg.cc/Bjt9jjSR[/quote] That was figurative speech. No one didnt mean not a single person, surely some of them would have put it in their list, maybe 4th choice or whatever. Looking at the median score of 205, I wont think there are that many of them with 230 and above. It is cute to think people go to Manjursi because of religious reasons. Well yes, maybe that one single 235 might have. You could be right. Or he may stay opp the school or his father was from there and he wants to continue the family tradition. But in any case, the point is, that you dont need affiliation to go to Manjursi if that is your dream school.

To side track, there are many with less than 230 with nowhere else to go, like the 221 you picked up, that’s why they are there. But again, figurative speech, I dont mean nowhere, like really nowhere. My friend’s son is there, he had nowhere else to go, 2nd choice. The son’s friends from the pri sch in the nearby area are also there, they also had nowhere else to go. Def not their dream school and not religion.

Thanks for the responses. I’m thinking MS as well… maybe because it is a more well known school and more well know afflicted secondary school. I’ll take a closer look at their homepages. Thanks.

Anyone have the 2019 Maris Stella 2B Breakdown? i know they didn’t have ballot but wanted to know what is the distance breakdown.


Basically wanted to know how safe is <1km at 2B?

Mee Toh seem to be 100% will get in at all distances…

< 1km in Phase 2B is 100% safe.

Distance breakdown is only known if someone ask the school. If there’s no ballot, I doubt anyone will also bother to ask the school for the breakdown.

I was hoping if any parent group was keeping track via monitoring at the school. Good to know that 2B < 1Km is 100% safe. Thanks for the info.

With A LOT of new developments including a new estate within 1km of MS, it will be increasingly difficult to tell. You have to hope that the influx of residents within 1 km would not impact this year’s registration.

Hi all,
