Hoyji, so you were living in Bukit Timah and then moved to Bukit Panjang? What made you choose MCS since it's not that near? SCGS is my alumni but it's too far for me, since the school bus picks up at 5am plus in the morning, so I picked MCS since it's a good all girls school that is only 10 mins away.

Yup, moved to Bt Panjang. Was in Phase 2C Supplement liao and all girls' school places got snapped up. So, only chance is either Bt Timah Primary or Marymount or waitlist in any of the all-girls school. MCS is good especially their speech and drama. They won the annual Public Speaking competition.

Are you an old girl? I wasn't from MCS, but from what I recall, this school has already been seen as pretty good.

Why is the take up rate so low for MCS compared to other schools in same area ?

I registered my gal yesterday and it is so quiet there.

May be because it’s not in the middle of a residential area… the flats nearby (braddell heights) are pretty old unlike CHIJ Toa Payoh, surrounded by flats.

Gorilla is right.
I used to stay just across the road from Marymount Convent, lots of MC gals living in my area :). This part of Thomson is a mature estate, not a lot of high rise residential buildings nearby, and it is very near to MacRitchie Reservoir as well.
