As per MOE website, MCS still have 26 seats left for 2CS.
Last year, MCS had 24 seats left for 2CS and ballot for SC outside 2KM.

I heard from Belinda, MCS admin manager that the relocation is not confirmed yet subject to fund raising dinner.
The temp location is just behind the currect school.

Hi Sembgal, do u mean there is a possibility that the girls will stay on at the current MCS’s premise while construction is on-going?


Also do you have any idea what time does school ends each day for the P1 and P2 girls. I am still thinking if I should pick up my girl from school myself or let her take the school bus as I am worried that she may reach home every night at 8pm or later. :<

Baby snow, there no balloting at Marymount.
I meant I was unsuccessful at another sch.

Need to know my chances now[/quote]Hi ryes, I don't have the figure on how many seats were balloted for more than 2km last yr. I cannot recall to see it in the forum too.
The registration for phase 2CS will only start next wk (13-14 Aug).
If you want online registration is starting from 9.00 am on 9 August 2013 to 4.30 pm on 13 August 2013.
Maybe you can call the school on Monday 12 Aug, and check with the school how many online application they have received over the weekend?

Other alternative, you can try for Canossa Convent Primary School?
Last year, there were 39 places left for phase 2CS, balloted for PR children residing outside 2km of the school.

Thanks obisana


I was hoping someone knows lor Hw many balloted more than 2km. At least have a gauge n feel of how high chances are.

I guess can only wait till 14 aug then I will be able to know how high chances are.

And yes, CC is the other alternative I have in mind.
But certainly we prefer MM

Hi Freellie, Obisana here
I'm the one who said the holding site/ temp location just behind the current school. It will not be in the current premises, but it's nearby.

If I'm not wrong school hour is 12:15-6:30 MON-THU, and 12:15-5:30 FRI.

Sorry to hear about that! I can't advise on the MCS chances, but I saw from the 2012 table put up by KSP that 183% apply and only 100% got in, but not sure how many are >2km? But chances look ok?

You may also want to consider Canossa Convent cos based on last year, balloting is only for PR>2km. This year, there're 36 seats left compared to last year's 39 seats. So I think it should be a very good bet? In fact, the review for Canossa Convent is very good, just that the location is not that ideal, I guess. I've a friend's daughter who is there, and she is really very happy and enjoying herself. Also, if I'm not wrong, Canossa Convent will operate at single session for 2014 (http://www.moe.gov.sg/initiatives/single-session/). MCS will be afternoon for P1 next year. So these may help you to decide too?

All the best and hope you'll have the best of luck for phase 2CS!
