[Moderator's note: Topics split and merged.]
Hi everyone,
I'm interested to know the chances of enrolling my boy in MSHS if my parents live within 2km of the school.
My brother is an old boy & so are many of my childhood friends. I would love to enrol my son there not only for the strong reputation of the school but also for the convenience as the school is just 3min drive from my hb's workplace!
& my boy will be going to my parents home everyday after school, so it's more convenient to place him somewhere near.
I'm not from a Catholic church, neither do I think I'll be able to do PV. Any suggestions? My hb is considering joining RC to boost our chances.
Btw, my boy is 2007 baby. I know I'm very KS but I need to have 'mental preparation' in event that MSHS is out of our reach, I need a backup plan. -

Dear mrswongtuition, we had to move your post into this thread as the other Forum is meant for parents who already have places in MSHS.
To answer your question, have you checked out the http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/toa-payoh yet? -

And there's nothing wrong with that, except it will be useful to keep discussions on the process of getting into the schools within this Forum so that we can keep the other Forum for purely for more specific discussions about the level of homework, quality of the teaching staff, homework, etc. Thanks! -
Maris Stella High School (Pri) actually post the registration status under Phase 2C 'live' on their website. After this morning's session, the status is as follows :

Sigh... I am in the same shoe as you. Looks like balloting within 1-2km will be more competitive than previous years. Hopefully it doesn't go down to <1km where we will have no chanceI'm also one of the stressed mummy going to register my son under phase 2C nxt week. This is really 1st time that MSH goes into balloting for Phase 2B...according to one of my frend who's a PV, she said the raise in popularity could be due to the circle line which makes it really convenient for the students. In actual fact MSH only accept a small no. of PV every year coz they've a large pool of existing n devoted PV. Thus, the 'big' no. in phase 2B could be attributed by the no. of grassroot leaders who hv registered their kids.
Historically, MSH does not hv to conduct balloting for 2C (within 1km), but mine is 1-2km...l hope I won't hv a sleepless night on the day before the balloting.

aaadaddy…thanks for the info. I went for the registration yesterday and generally parents there for the registration are staying nearby, have seen quite a couple of them who have forgotten to bring some documents and came back with them within a short time. Genuinely hope that these parents will be able to secure the place for their kids. As for us, let fate decide on whether our kids are really ‘meant’ for the school. Best of luck to you!
