‘successfully secured a place in SGP under Phase 2B!’


Interesting, why did you need to mention SGP? Where else can can St. Gabriel be in this website? Anyway, just find it amusing.

Me son too is going there next year, didn’t have much of a choice, praying very hard that it will turn out to be a good school to begin his education system in ‘SGP’


Cheers!

I would like to register my son in a boys school and was contemplating if I should go for St Gabriel or Montfort Junior. Which is better? Someone please help me! Thanks

My nephew is registering for P1 at St Gab this week under Phase 2C.


Any chances? He is staying within 1.5-2km range.

How’s the school discipline? This is something we are worried about other than academic.

Just registered for phase 2C. So far, seems to be balloting for above 2km only. Hopes and look forward to my son being a Gabrielite next year

Hi, after the nerve wrecking phase 2C yesterday, my boy is going to SGPS in 2012.

Really happy for him as his 2 of his best friends from childcare are going to the same school.

Hope that through this Forum, we can share pointers and help the children adjust to the school system well.

Charis21,


Can I check with you what was the balloting situation like? How many applicants versus the vacancies?

Cheers!

Hi, my boy is going to SGPS 2012. Can I know if there is any where we can get old text books that pass down from old boys? Or anyone is interested to pass down their current P1 books?


Thanks in advance

Praises to St. Gabs staffs for Providing a very thorough session of balloting exercise. Probably also the oversubscribed rate is not very high, it's 41 seats for 66 children. The admin staff will go through the children names with corresponding ballot ID no., and sgp citizens will get 2 ballot slips and PR 1 slip. All slips are displayed on overhead projector to show that they are all accounted for. After which, it will be fold and put in the transparent \"big fish tank\". Ballot starts and they will call up volunteer parent to pick the ballot ticket, when child's named called, the school staff will ask the parent of the successful balloted child's ID no. to pick up the next ballot slip. All picked slip will be stamped with MOE stamp and ballot ID no. be written on the paper with running serial no. of 41 seats.

Seriously nerve wrecking, even though I've experienced this before in 2000, where I was in the position to stand in for balloting in Rosyth, for my nephew who was away in the US then.
