[Bukit Timah] Primary Schools

[qms]

jeanieg:

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!!

Mummies, I'm to RGPS now to register my gal. Wish me luck! :xedfingers:

a number of them stay around Bukit Timah First Ave, Fifth Ave, Sixth Ave.

Hotchix and all others registering at RGPS,


wish each & everyone ALL the VERY BEST!

for those balloting at RGPS,


safer for parents to turn up.

last Friday P2B, a child's name was picked in the ballot. But because the Chinese name was very similar to that of another kid picked earlier, the slip of paper almost put back into the box!!!

luckily the mom alert cried out 'Stop!' in time, so all fine.
Mother's love is always the greatest. if she not present, nobody spot mistake. She would have received a call from the school saying she not successful in ballot.

try to sit in front - because you can see & hear clearer.
if sit at the back, a lot of distractions going on. People chit chat, moving around, whispering.
