Hi all,
Am preparing to register my daughter next year. While I’m planning to sign up for PV, namely Mgs or plmgps- does having to stay within the 1km/1-2km range still hold under 2B? And were there any stats for ppl in phase 2b who lived more than 2km away? Or should I just forget it since I live outside 2km at the moment, and focus on renting a place nearer to the sch first. Thanks! This process is really doing my head in.

PLMGS 2B all in. MGS 2B <1km ballot.

That is, assuming you get accepted as PV. AFAIK, PV is rarely offered to applicants who are > 2km.

Thanks! Do you know where I can get the exact breakdown for the schools? And would you know what it’s like for PV in SMGPS ? As well as ACJS, SJIJ and SAJS?


I live in a area where the schools are either 1-2km or just slightly over 2km

Just apply first and see whether they accept u. Nothing to lose, right? In your application, u can state (Eg. Next to your current address) that u are willing to move nearer to the school if necessary.

Do note that many of the 2B applicants are church members. If they are not able to move <1km of MGS to join the balloting, then PLMGS would be their next best choice. So if u really like the school, during your PV stint, u can already shop around and move closer.

SMPS has suspended its PV program during this Covid period (see their school website). Their PVs used to do traffic warden duties during 7am to 7.30am.

SAJS has also suspended their PV scheme: https://www.saintandrewsjunior.moe.edu.sg/
There used to be many SA secondary old boys (not primary school alumni) who joined the PV scheme because they loved the secondary school culture there & wanted their boys to experience the same in primary school.

ACS (both Junior and Primary) and SJIJ do not have any PV scheme for 2B.

So it seems like 2B doors are closed for u.

For applicants who fail at Catholic High Phase 2B and 2C, may I know where will they try for 2CS or be posted to? We are trying to weigh all our options and understand whether or not we can stomach the risk. Thanks!

2CS probably backup Guangyang, Townsville and Ang Mo Kio.

Thanks Davis!

That's helpful to know. St Gab and Montfort are out at Phase 2CS right?

Cheers!

Hello I’m new to this forum so apologies in advance for my lack of knowledge. My kid secured a K1 place at MOE Kindergarten @ Gongshang which places him at Phase 2A(2). However, looking at GSPS’s recent history, they have 210 vacancies of which ~130 are already filled by Phase 1 and 2A(1). With 40 places reserved for 2B and 2C, this leaves only about 40 slots for Phase 2A(2).

With the opening of their MOE K and the amount of MOE K kids that fit into this category + alumni kids + school staff kids, won’t it lead to an extreme over-application for the 40 places for 2A(2)?
Does schools with MOE K open up more total vacancies to cater to this projected increase in Phase 2A(2) application?
Anyone can shed light on past recent history of similar examples and advise how it might transpire? I know its super early but I am just curious about the math.
Thanks everyone!!
