      I'm already planning DD's pri 1 registration. She is 3 turning 4 this yr. I can register her at MGS under phase 2B, but heard that this school is super hard to get in. Even phase 2B got to ballot. And we are not staying within 1km, so chances even lower.


      Even if we were to sell our current place and buy an aptment near that school, also no guarantee of entry. May still have to ballot, so is it worth all that trouble and risk of not getting in?

      A friend advised me to try Paya Lebar MGS, say it's easier to get in than the elite MGS. But I heard that this school has some discipline problems, not sure if it's true?

      any advice and input is much appreciated, cos this whole issue has caused me and DH some stress, so much so that he even dreamt about him balloting in a school! :roll:

        Yup MGS is super hot...even those staying within 1km have to ballot. The reason is bcos it is all girls with affiliation...and only school in bukit timah with that benefit. Have you considered SCGS?

              hi hot, my friend’s ds graduated from nan hua perhaps he was not in a good class hence did mot do well for psle. Some schools only focus their attention on the gd classes.

                        But then, it's JC. You have to \"dig and hear\" some more to find out which primary school they were from. :evil:
