Paya Lebar Methodist Girls

Think the situation is under control. The girls affected were back to school by Tuesday. Glad the school reacting swiftly by calling in NEA officers to conduct checks and tests, and suspended water coolers access and food preparation.

Bluedale, I don’t need to PV bec we are Methodists so there’s church affiliation. Hee…

The only thing I’m afraid is that there seems to have a spike in birth rate in 2008, so afraid there’s balloting under P2B when it’s our turn to register DD1. Anyone has any view on this, appreciate it.

BTW, where to see the 20+% chance of balloting you mentioned? Thanks!

Sakurachan, the stats are here, under P1 Registration Statistics

Me not from Methodist denomination, so had to work hard I guess you don't have anything to lose than, at P2B. Unless you have other choices at earlier phases? If so, what you can do is the 2-parents-station-both-schools method lor, to decide at the last hours which school, based on the chances then.

Hi Bluedale,

Thanks for the link, very useful!
No, I'm not eligible for earlier phases, I wish I am! Hahaha!

We are >2km away from plmgs. So I suppose if my DD1 is unsuccessful in P2B, am I right to say that I don't even need to try for P2C at plmgs but should just put her in a neighbourhood sch near my place at P2C?

[Bluedale]

Well, that seems to be the case now. But 3 years’ time things can be different? I guess, look around and find out more for a backup school. I had a P2C plan and even P2CS plan… I just prayed and trust God knows what He’s doing haha… and I didn’t hold on too tightly that it has to be this school la, guess that way the P1 registration process won’t be so overwhelming.

[sakurachan]

Thanks for sharing. Yes, if not it would simply be too overwhelming.

My hubby said, \"Nothing you can do abt it, just pray!\"

Experienced PLMGPS mummies,

Wish to seek your advice. What is a good size for a backpack for say P1-3? Hope I’m not TOO kiasu to start looking for a backpack for my girl going P1 next year, hehe… I’m a bit confused looking at school backpacks, e.g. the ergo bags like Impact, SPI, etc look huge and heavy to me, are they necessary?.. Is a bag of 15 inches (or 38cm) tall too big? (my gal is 114cm tall now, half year to go before P1). Pls recommend a good size based on your understanding of the load they need to carry for at least P1 and 2. Thanks heapssss.
