What could be the possible reasons that drive up the take up rate by 14.5% at SCGS this year compares to 2011?


I thought with MOE rule change this year, we expect to see better chances for Singaporean kids?

1) more siblings

2) more old girls joined as the alumni hence higher no of reg at phase 2A1. Lets see the no. Of places taken up at phase 2A2.

If u r serious of putting your child into the school u want, perhaps you can consider changing your job to be a teacher or allied educator and get employed into the school u want. I know of parent especially mothers that did that and they got their kids into the schools they want under phase 2A2.

This rule sets in only when there is balloting in a particular phase.

The results so far for scgs are v discouraging for p2b and p2c parents. any parents going for 2c scgs within 1km here? what are your thoughts?

SCGS Pri 1 registration data.

Don't look good coz balloting within 1 km for the last 2 years. No point lamenting about it. Put in all your energy and concerntration in preparing a back-up plan. Just move on.

I do not remember SCGS has to ballot in phase 2b. In 2011, everyone got in under phase 2b and there were some seats left for phase 2c. It is phase 2c that is very competitive. But average neighbourhood schools, especially those in the west, are more competitive than SCGS.
