[quote=\"MummyThreeStreams\"]St. Nick's is also a full-school.

Dear MummyThreeStreams, does this mean that for full-schools, those who studied in the secondary, but not the primary section, (for example St. Nicks secondary, but not St. Nicks primary) can qualify to register their children in Phase 2A2 (or Phase 2A1 if they joined the school's alumni e.g. St. Nicks alumni)?

Pardon my ignorance, but would you happen to know how a school is deemed a full-school? Is it by the fact that both primary and secondary section is helmed by one principal? Is that a good enough rule-of-thumb, or is there a list of full schools available somewhere for viewing?

List of full schools: http://app.sis.moe.gov.sg/schinfo/SIS_index.asp

MGS, SCGS, CHS, SNGS, MSHS.[/quote]Dear jtoh, :thankyou:

[MummyThreeStreams]

JGMum,

Full schools have both primary and secondary sections as one single school. Since affiliation for alumni is based on the school, even if you only studied in the school during your secondary school days, your child will be eligible under Phase 2A.

is Paya Lebar Methodist girls (PLMGS) - a full school ?


if MGS (Bukit Timah) is a full school, why PLMGS not listed the drop box?
after all, they are same Methodist denomination.

same but different set up

the one at Blackmore Drive was established by Sophia Blackmore, a Methodist missionary, while the PLMGS was set up by the Methodist Church of Singapore.... something like that...some body with the detail can fill up the gaps here

MGS is founded by Miss Sophia Blackmore and supported by the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America, Miss Blackmore, an Australian missionary.

PLMGS was started as a branch of the Anglo-Chinese School and was known then as Paya Lebar English School.Mrs Chew Hock Hin(wife of Rev Chew Hock Hin, lady seated in family potrait) became the Principal of the school. She remained in that capacity until she retired in 1957. She is regarded as the founder of the Paya Lebar MGS because she re-organised the school with the help of the American Crusade Fund.

Yes, your description is absolutely correct. This happens for Catholic High too. That's why after the Sibling phase & Alumni phases, there are very few places left for Phase 2B & Phase 2C.

and for the same reason, some other schools has less \"full house\" situation after Phase 2A2 after their primary section was split out into a separate pri school

The situation is far more competitive now that Catholic High School has been granted approval to start running it's own IP program starting 2013.
