Hi


Thanks for the info, which means if I am P2B, I could get in and no need to shift house. Thats great!

But comparatively to nyps, is scgs a more rich people sch?

Since you are so confident of getting into P2B you must have done some homework. Congrates, you have chosen one of the best girls' school in singapore for your DD.

Any schools along Bukit Timah or Dunearn Road have MORE VERY rich ppl as compare to elsewhere. Be it SCGS, ACS, SJI, NYPS, RGPS and MGS.

Hi rradhika,

I’m also looking at Tampines. Am very sure St Hildas’ is out, coz I’m staying outside the 1km, even if PVed still require to ballot. Am hoping for Poi Ching, which is very near where I’m staying.

Thanks for all the great info, for the affilation I would have to give up on nyps, I do love nyps alot, but I figure that my girls would need the affilation help to ensure that they are at least in a good environ for the 10 years.

Whether they made it to JC, or poly, at least this 10 years I knw they are in good study/peers environ. In case they are late bloomers, the affilation will still enable them to have more time to prepare themselves as mebe they havent kai qiao during pri sch days. If by sec, still haven kai qiao :roll: , it would be their destiny. **Ren ming**.

Thanks all the advise.


I have check out some schools to be considered as my 2nd or 3rd choice like RGPS and Nanyang around Bukit Timah area. I still find SCGS is most suitable for my girl, not so stress for my girl during PSLE as their cut off point to Secondary School is lower. I know cos I was very stress when my son did his PSLE last year.

From the forum, I know is very difficult to apply for parent volunteer that qualify for phase 2B, even my friend has submitted the sametime with me last year June but was rejected. As still now, My application is still pending. I will try to call the school again.

My girl going for P1 registration next year 2010. What about phase 2C, I stay within 1KM. What is the chance? Balloting?

SCGS conducted balloting for those staying 1-2km for the last 3 yrs. So if u stay within 1km you should be quite safe. Then again, no guarantee next year be the same....

I just called up a school asking about PV. A lady asked me to "write in" in letter or email to the principal. Err… any idea what I should write about in the letter?


Also a wierd quesion, will sending a hardcopy letter present a better chance than sending an email?

THANKS!

hi wildboys,
in one of the pages in this thread, there is a sample letter courtesy of one of the parents.
