Maris Stella High

Hi everyone, my son will be attending MSHS next year. Got in under Phase 2A1. (Yes, I’m a former Marist). We live quite far away (Yishun) but I really wanted my boy to have a chance to experience the same school culture I did and also in hindsight it was a good move seeing how so many places are already gone to phase 2A in so many neighbourhoods.


Anyone else living in the area with kid(s) in MSHS?

Hi…


Anyone going to register under phase2B next week…would like to know if there is a screen that shows how many have registered and how many vacancies left??
I will be in Phase 2B but staying beyond 2KM…wondering if got chance to get in without ballot…think it seems to be 70 vancies for Phase 2B?
then i have to compete with those staying within 1 Km and within 2KM…wonder got chance to get in


Thanks

If you look at the history (http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/toa-payoh) it looks as if there is a reasonable chance it will go to ballotting given the uptake so far. For 2012, 45% of the places were take up by the end of 2a but it didn't ballot in 2B. For 2011, 49% of the places were taken up and it went to ballotting for those outside 2km. This year 53% of the places are already gone.

I remember seeing updates on the number of vacancies, posted on either a white board or screen, but can't recall exactly.

While there is still a possibility that phase 2B will complete without a need to ballot, my gut tells me that you will need to ballot for those staying >2km.

oops,....now starting to press the panic button after hearing the feedback that more than 2KM for phase2B there is a high chance of balloting....:(

is there any parents going to Phase 2B registration next week...any views??

See my earlier post. For last year , there was no balloting . But year 2011 n 2010 , there were balloting . My friend under 2b shifted to serangoon to avoid the risk of balloting .
