For my curiosity, what’s rational with the twins? Is it that MOe rquires that twins must be in th same school?

I think the rationale is on parents... not MOE...
convenience for parents... which parent wants to send twins to 2 different sch? Unless twin = 1 boy 1 gal... n u prefer gal to go gal's sch...

Just called up MSH, the no. of vacancies left for phase 2C is 96. The admin lady is also surprised by the ‘overwhelming’ figures for 2B, she said normally there would be ‘balance’ to carry over to 2C, thus for those who fall under 1-2km, confirm must join the balloting.

Tks! I like MSH coz it's within walking distance from my home (dun koe why it falls under 1-2km though), think I'll try my luck and go for the balloting. Plan B would be St Gabriel or Yangzheng Pri.

Cannot believe MSHS became to 'hot' this year. With a lower birth rate, no change in intake and for a boy's school that offer only Chinese as mother tongue, cannot imagine that it has recorded the best TUR (70%) in recent years after Phase 2B :x Must be the circle line :stupid: Now I am having doubts whether to apply under Phase 2C

Hi, I just range up CHIJ TP and found out there are 53 vacancies left for Phase 2C. Would anyone know if this is abt the same no. of vacancies the last few years? I’m within 1 km. Should I go for it?


Appreciate reply. Thanks.

Dear fellow kiasu-ers,


I just rang up CHIJ TP and found out there are 53 vacancies for phase 2C. (I'm going for this phase). Anybody knows if this is abt the same no. of vacancies for the last few years? I'm within 1 km. Should I just go for it or monitor till the last day of registration then decide? (monitoring St mar's too).

Appreciate advice. Thanks.

Looking at the balloting history since 2006, given the same intake of 210, the TUR after Phase 2B were 83% for 2006, 71% for 2007 & 75% for both 2008 & 2009. A place was not guaranteed within 1km for 2006 but were so for 2007 & 2008. I suggest you monitor till the last day unless you die die want to try for CHIJ TP.

Thank you.... *sigh* didn't expect this P1 registration to be so \"exciting\"...
