Hi Davis and fellow parents,


Looking forward to see this chat room come alive :rahrah:

Woah! So fast this is alive! 🤭🤣

Not fast. Considering that PV starts in some schools in 2021, and clans, GRL will require at least 2 years membership, now’s about the right time.

Hi guys

I read that 2017 has the lowest birth rates in seven years, so that’s good news for us! I’m eyeing St. Andrews junior school but I’m outside 2km. Willing to do PV but I’m wondering what my chances are in 2B even? Anyone has past years’ registration results by distance?

SAJS phase 2B usually ballots >2km

Balloting history here:

However, whether you can join PV and clock the 40 hours is still uncertain. Some other KSPs posted that PV scheme at SAJS has been put on hold due to this Covid season.

Hi fellow parents,


Our place is within 1 km to SJIJ (Phase 2B), ACSP and ACSJ (Phase 2C). Initially, it seemed pretty straightforward that we’d go for SJIJ. But as our son grows, we notice how much he enjoys learning Mandarin (language as well as traditional Chinese cultures/classical poems etc), hence beginning to consider enrolling him in a SAP school. We know that the chance for Catholic High (2B), even if we move to Bishan is very slim, so are really keen on Maris Stella.

My question is, would it be feasible for us to apply to Maris Stella under 2B more than 2 km (provided there is even chance to ballot), if balloted out, to go for SJIJ under 2C within 1 km?

Appreciate all your advices and suggestions. Many thanks mommies and daddies!

Yes that's a good plan. Historically MSHS ballots >2km in 2B. Nevertheless, even if unsuccessful, you don't need a SAP school to advance your interest in Chinese.

Thanks so much Davis, your estemeed opinion is much appreciated!
