[Bukit Timah] Primary Schools

[pinkish]

If you live within 1km from mgs. Chances should be quite high. Don't worry.

Can apply for phase 2c in mgs as you stay within 1km. All the best.:)

Planning the scenarios should we not be successful in our application.
If let's say i fail to get a place in MGS in phase 2b (we live within 1km), which other Bukit Timah school can I try for in phase 2c ? Can I apply to MGS again in phase 2c ? Or in the worse case, put my girl in Bukit Timah Primary and then waitlist in all the other schools in the area, is this possible ?

If you are 1km from MGS, you may be 1km from Pei Hwa. It's a very gd and popular school too.

In my opinion, you shld monitor both school registration during the 2C application, whichever has the higher probability to get in, you should try for it.

If you're not successful for MGS in Phase 2B, you can try again for MGS in Phase 2C. You live within 1km, which means your chances are better than others living out of 1km.

Worst case scenario - yes, you can waitlist all schools in the area.

So for those odd numbers, does 1 more seat go to phase 2b or phase 2c?

Yes, interesting to know.

[Scary]

Believe all Bukit Timah schools, except Bukit Timah Prim will need balloting for <1km.

you are right. most of the schools in that area powerrrrrr.

[phtthp]

for P2B, how do they share the pie amongst parent volunteers, grassroot RC leaders ?


example:
Nanyang remaining 55 vacancies left. So P2B given 28 vacancies, whereas P2C given 27 vacancies. But within P2B 28 seats itself, how many given to PV & grassroot RC ?

if say, share equally means 14 reserved for PV and another 14 for RC leaders, then what if there are > 14 PVs, or > 14 RC leaders ? Then ballot for PVs, plus ballot for RCs, is it ?

is that how it works ?
