[Novena] Primary Schools

:scared: Mummy Bagcononics, how can you confuse? You very funny.


Anyway.....phase 2B - For a child whose parent has joined as PV, member endorsed by the church/clan directly connected with the primary school or endorsed as an active community leader

Phase 2C - Any others who have not fallen under the previous phases.

Base on historical data there is an incremental trend for Phase2B applicants hence I am worried that this year scgs will hit record to have balloting for phase 2b. And that's why I was saying that the new ruling doesn't help much.

What \"help\" are you looking at? :scratchhead:

QMS- Not asking for help, mainly trying to get feedback if any balloting risk for phase 2B that's all.

Oh! Sorry for the misunderstanding.

correct me if I am wrong, but I thought entry into the IP prog only considers COP, and it does not take into account affiliation, so there is no advantage for scgs girls wanting to enter the IP programme? That is my understanding anyway.

You can find SCGS P1 Registration data at this link.

in Phase 2C -
those who failed in balloting can let their daughters attempt P1 entrance admission tests. However, parents will try to avoid 2C balloting, as much as possible, if they can. Feedback from past parents whose daughters had sat for the entrance tests was ... high standard.

Thus, parents will try their very best come in at 2B - one phase earlier, eliminate substantial fierce intense competition.
If they can't enter via SCGS Parent Volunteer limited seats, only route left is enter via Grassroot activities. Thus you noted a high jump in 2B applicants, from 2011 to 2012.

Jan 2013 - SCGS takes off her maiden flight, absorb new Secondary 1 cohort into her \"Integrated Programme\" course. Thus forsee greater demand this year onwards, in phase 2B and 2C.

This is correct. There is no affiliation advantage to enter the IP program.

Any idea what will be the number of intake this year for Y2013 P1?

Remain same as 200 numbers?

wondering if you are referring to SCGS.
if so, they have the info in their school website.
For 2013 intake, number of vacancies under 2C has been reduced to 43 (2012 - 48; 2011 - 55). Seem like in general, vacancies under 2B has been increased.

Does anyone have any stats on locals vs non-locals for 2011 (or even 2010)? guess this will be difficult as probably wasn't an issue in previous years.

Yes, refer to SCGS but asking on the total number of intakes and not just on phase 2C vacancy.


Believe the stats you are refering will be difficult to get. Only the school has such data and they are unlikely to disclose.

Where did you get this number when MOE hasn't even started the P1 registration? :scratchhead:

Based on the school website, those statistics are, I think, the actual number of places registered under those phases, for the PREVIOUS year. For 2012 intake (and therefore Registration Exercise in 2011), SCGS took in 43 in P2C; in 2011 this was 48 and in 2010 this was 55.
