nothing much you can do then. Everybody’s going in blind this year. I know several GRLs (besides you) applying to SCGS this year. Everybody has the same idea lor.

sigh… wanted not to waste the 2B chance. Can try for another school instead.

Apparently, this year the total number of girls applied for scgs is so much higher as compared to last year and the number of seats for 2B is also lesser than last year.

Ya strange right. They’ve already moved back into the original campus after the renovation. Wonder why after Reno got fewer seats.

The only explanation is they want 6 classes of 32 pupils. 200 can't divide equally lol

Hi all , i am in a dillema


My daughter is born in 2015 and will be going rhru admission exercise next year

I was selected as a PV for mee toh school but due to covid 19 , the start date have been postpone until further notice (npt sure if any parents here are facing similar issues)

Currently i am living with 1km from the school but i am planning to move to a EC which is 1-2km away.

Will the above decision impact my chance in getting my daughter into the school ?

Does the school ballot the PV slot to me because of my proximity ?

I see in record that for Mee Toh school , phase 2B will not have ballot… i am quite mix up right now… can anyone help me ?

For 2B Mee Toh, there was once balloting needed in 2B, 2014, for >2km.

Of course the obvious is, if you stay, its very likely to be in at 2B. To shift to 1-2km, you have a buffer of 20 spots as of now, it may be closer fight next year, its hard to know the phase 1 numbers plus typical applicants in 2B is 50-60+. i always assume all sort of balloting in Punggol and Seng Kang to be done in within 1km due to the density of the area.

I do not think your decision will affect your chance of getting into the school, just that you don't feel safe.

What is important as well is your backup choice in 2C, most of the MK schools will be oversubscribed in 2C, if you are happy with the 2C choice (safe and you are fine with the choice), you will feel more grounded and know what to do.

Digest thru and have a thought about it.

Hi, what is the criteria for St. Andrew PV to be eligible for Phase 2B? Can we join PV if we stay between 1km to 2km from the school? Thanks in advance.

1-2km no issue, SAJS 2B usually can get in. Apply and subject to shortlisting.
