Now that 2B is over, and there was balloting for those staying within 1km for MGS, does it mean that for someone like me who lives 1-2km away and registering in 2C, there is absolutely no hope at all? Cos if that's the case then I wont even bother to try.

what I suggest is you register for MGS on the first day morning, standby on the very last day to determine whether to try, after checking the latest results at 4 pm on Friday. Best to have one parent at MGS and another parent at the other school - both must be equipped with a set of documents.

how about I wait till Friday the last day to register cos by Thursday I should be able to call the school and find out how many have applied and their home distance from the school? Then I wont have to register and then withdraw later?

You may also adopt this strategy. Situation may be clearer in the afternoon of the third day.

there are a few Methodist christian schools in SG, like:-


- MGS (Bukit Timah),
- Fairfield Methodist,
- Paya Lebar Methodist,
- Geylang Methodist,
- etc.

but why is it that in the eyes of parents - amongst all Methodist schools, seem like MGS (Bukit Timah) is deemed the best so far ? Sorry, no offence to other Methodist schools.

is it bec MGS (Bukit Timah) - the syllabus taught s different, teaching method different, teachers good or what ? what is it that sets it apart ? why couldn’t the Methodist HQ ensure that same standard is maintained throughout all Methodist branches in SG ?

my friend teaching in MGS (BT) said the girls are well groomed, don’t utter a word of Singlish. All speak proper English.

Perhaps because it's got the best PSLE results by far amongst the Methodist schools?

for P2C Supp - is it first come first serve, or still need to ballot ?

Not first come first served. Balloting if number of applicants exceed number of vacancies.

mummyo, ok, noted.


Went for the RGPS reg this morning and saw many PRs already there, probably within 1 km. Many Indians, a few ang mohs, even a Chinese couple.

So my guess is PRs going to make bulk of <1km reg.

There was 5 who are >2km also reg!!
