[quote=Russiandoll post_id=2002210 time=1605056444 user_id=178926]Hi all! Seeking some advice for future planning. My husband is an old boy from Pei Hwa. We have two daughters and always wanted to try for a girls school (MGS or SCGS) rather than co-ed school. While we are members of methodist church, we do not stay within 1km of MGS. Would it be better to just enroll in Pei Hwa (guaranteed placement) or still try our luck with MGS? In addition, anyone successfully transferred from Pei Hwa to MGS before? Thanks for any advice!

If not within 1km of MGS you have zero chance. Pei Hwa will be the best choice.

Thanks for the response! We are currently house hunting and was considering whether to move within 1km as our place of choice is currently about 2.1km away. If the probability of entering the school via phase 2B under 1km is 100%, we intend to purchase a place within 1km.[/quote]The probability is definitely 100%. 100% chance of balloting for SC within 1km. Therefore, buying a place within 1km only guarantees you a chance to ballot.

Can i check if there’s already an existing P1 2021 WatsApp or Telegram groupchat setup ?

Would like to join in, please.
My boy would be in 1I5 if there’s already a groupchat.
TIA and happy festive holiday ahead!

Looking for good Science Tuition Center. We badly needed a recommended tuition as my daughter is now in P6. She needs a boost on her preparation for PSLE. Preferably at a walking distance from Pei Hwa PS. Thank for those who can help! Cheers for 2021!

Hello all, i am eligible for phase 2A1 and considering if we have to move closer for a guaranteed space in school. May I ask if last year was the only year so far that had balloting for >2km at Phase 2A1?

Yes last year was the only extraordinary year. Though need ballot, only about 68 applicants vs 66 vacancies. Very little risk of ballot out. Probably don’t need to move.

Are the kids “streamed” at the end of P4 and P5 classes are grouped according to grades?

Hi, not a PeiHwa parent, just being kaypoh… my dc did not stream until P4 (P1-3 were the same 30 students). As a Gep centre, P4 form classes (8) are a random mix of Gep (roughly 2 classes if they were to congregate) & Mainstream children. So, when it comes to the EL/ HCL/ MA/ SC periods, everyone packs up & goes to his allocated (by merit - P3 SA2) classroom. I find it mind boggling; but my kid says she finds it alright. Status quo till P6

This is what MOE calls SBB (subject-based banding). The kids go to different pull-out classes for each subject, but they are thrown together into a random form class in order to mix them up for socialization.

Our kids will need to get used to the strange timetables and different classrooms, becos they will continue to encounter it in Secondary school. MOE moving to full SBB (for all 8-10 examinable subjects) in every secondary school, by year 2024.
