Hi Jade


Oh yes!!!

Thank you for the detailed explanation!!!

Thank you for the assurance as I was still thinking should I send to better school like chij TPY or Peichun but I keep telling myself that don’t stress myself which indirectly stressing my gals for better result in order to be more competitive in school
I try not to be a KS parent but my friends are sending to top school which kinda make me think whether am I right or wrong
Top school or MCS…
Cheers

Hmmm, I would say if there's a chance to go IJ TP, then it'll be good, cos there'll be the affiliation to secondary school, which comes in really important since the stress of PSLE may generate results unexpected, so it's always good to have a cushion just in case.

Peichun is a SAP school, if I remember correctly, which means they'll be emphasizing on Chinese quite a bit. My son is also in a SAP school, and I do think that it helps especially cos of the depth of immersion in the language.

I would say if you qualify for admission via earlier phases, like alumni or church etc, why not give it a try? Generally, admission to marymount is safe at phase 2C, though since yours is a 2012 baby, so it can be quite a different story then.

Thank you for the breakdown!

I stayed 1-2km to both CHIJ TPY and Peichun so need to ballot if there’s still balance slot which I know that even I do not get a place there, I can fall back on MCS but I don’t know whether do I want to be so competitive to compete to get into the top schools

On 1 hand, I want to be in good school but on the other, I am afraid to stress my gals given such competitive environment. I want them to be happy and not just about study
But again study is for their future, not easy to strike a balance

My DD is currently in MCS, and it's really a very good school. The low take-up rate (from locals) comes because it is a girl's school with zero affiliation for secondary admission. Also, it's perched on a hill, in a low density residential area. Guess that's the reason why?

That is probably the main reason why it's unpopular. CHIJ is nearby with a similar catchment as MCS. Difference being that it offers affiliation to their sec school.
