      My daughter born in year 2017.
      P1 registration starts 2022, next year.
      But, we stay out of 2KM (99 Wilkie Road) , within 2KM (Mattar Road)
      Any chance to get it? Thanks!

      It may be difficult. the school will be moving back to Willkie and surely draws the population around with the new facilities. But its worth a try, the school adopts a very balanced holistic approach without sacrificing on its academic standards or well-being of the girls.

        Hi dear parents 🙂


        My girl born in 2016 so will join P1 exercise next year for the 2023 P1 intake. We live within 1KM of St Margaret (Wilkie road). however, in view of the temporary holding site till Jan 2024 - when we do P1 registration next year, do they use the registration address as Wilkie or the matta road (which will be a problem for us)?

        many thanks for your kind advice!

            wow this year vacancies at Phase 2B is only 53 vs 2020’s 97!


            Going by historical take up rate at 2B, the average is 25, so at 2C the vacancies would be only around 48!

            The take up rate for SMPS is very high this year!

              St Margaret vacancies for 2B in 2020 was 62/63 not 97.
              and per your stated scenario, with 53 vacancies this year, and take up of say 25 in phase 2b, 81 vacancies will be available in 2C. (still lower than 97 for 2C in 2020)

                Oh yes apologies, I misread the 2B vacancies for 2020 and was mistaken over the remaining 2C spaces and thought it was only 20 when in fact its 53. So even after say 25 of 2B are taken, 2C would have left about 81.

                Still...take up rate is higher this year. Good sign though, SMPS is getting \"noticed\" haha

                    SMPS had always been 'noticed'. It was only being ignored in the last couple of years.

                    I think most of that was due to the temporary site that they are occupying - it's a long way from their actual location. Imagine if you are <1km from Wilkie Road, you are >> 2km from their temp location. That defeats the purpose of choosing a school near to your place. On the other hand, if you are close to their temp, you will be far away from the actual location when SMPS shifts back. Either way, the child will be 'displaced' half of the time that she is there.

                    Now that SMPS has more or less a fix timeline in which they will be shifting back to renovated campus in Wilkie Road, I believe more people will have less hesitancy in choosing the school, especially when newer and more facilities will be present.

                      If you’re planning on driving to school, remember to check ERP timings (especially around dismissal times). The Wilkie location is within ERP zone if I recall correctly.

                        I think dismissal time (1+pm) there is no ERP but then I am not too sure about the timings now due to changes due to Covid (and also WFH). Also now ERP seems to be off most days due to Covid (and WFH).

                        However, that said, Wilkie road campus won't be the focus as SMPS is now located at Mattar road until Jan 2024 when they move back. Hence even if there is ERP, it won't happen in 2022 and 2023 🙂

                        But for me, if ERP is back on as normal (back to pre Covid time), I would be affected as I stay at Mount Sophia and thus morning ERP I will be hit as I drive my girl to school and back home it would still be within the morning ERP timing :slapshead:
