school,\tTotal,\tphase 1, phase2A1, Phase (1 + 2A1)\t%Taken

1\tAnglo-Chinese \t240\t63\t74\t137\t57%

2\tSCGS\t 200\t52\t29\t81\t41%


3\tSJI Junior\t240\t76\t0\t76\t32%

4\tBalestier Hill \t180\t24\t4\t28\t16%

I am surprised that there is no one registered in P2A for SJI. This should a school with very strong alumni. :?

Anxious, which school are you aiming?

Trying for SCGS.. keeping my fingers crossed. :nailbite:

phtthp:

2A1 and 2A2 no need to be anxious, guaranteed to go in!


it is the phase 2B and 2C that is nerve wrecking!

Yes.. but I am in 2B. So the no. of vacancies taken in 2A will affect me.

Very nervous now. :nailbite:

Today is D day for 2A1

Hi Parents,


I've just received confirmation from Paya Lebar MGS that I've been accepted as PV. Was so looking forward to being accepted and now that I am, I feel worried.

Being a working mother, I anticipate a lot of annual leaves needed to be taken in order for me to fulfill the 40 hours.. So, was just wondering if anyone has any idea what should I be expecting (meaning assignments or tasks given by the school)?

Hi,

May I know which year was your child born in? My DD was born in 2007 and I wish to PV in Paya Lebar MGS. Isit consider late to send in PV form? Thanks.

Usually it is 2 yrs before the actual year of registration. As long as you get admitted into PV at least 1 yr before and complete the 40 hrs before registration.

The thing that i don’t like on CH forum is that the kids are all inside the building. They are not really expose to outdoor. Even the playground is within the shopping mall

Any feedback of CH forum? I am thinking about sending my 18 months baby there end of the year.

CH only takes in kids from N1 onwards.

[quote=\"tankee\"]100% successful as you are eligible to register in Phase 2A2, which is For a child whose parent or sibling has studied in the school of choice; or whose parent is a staff member of the school of choice.


TNS has yet to announce when they will make the change to single session.

Actually technically speaking, only phase 1 applicants are assured of a 100% successful chance. All the other phases are subject to vacancies available vs number of applicants. So for phase 2A2, there is still a chance of balloting should the number of applicants exceed the number of vacancies.

But of coz it is quite unlikely to happen based on past year trends. :lol:

At the moment, applicants are assured of a place under 2A based on past records, but in actual fact, balloting does take place if number of applicants exceed vacancies. I was very worried when I registered my daughter last year as we stay more than 2km...could hear my heart pounding when I saw the admin officer tick the 'more than 2km' box in the registration form.[/quote]I cannot imagine that we will need to ballot under Phase 2A even if not as alumni. :nailbite:

If such scenario happen, then everyone will join the alumni and everyone will be indifferent. :lol:

Just to share my experience of CH. CH Halifax used to be one of the best - Great teachers and staff.


However, due to their rapid expansion - 2 new branches in 1+ yr, their Head of the centre left for another centre last year and several of the experienced teachers were transferred to assist to build up the new centre.

I do feel the differences now in the overall experience of the teachers in CH Halifax.

Hello,

I am hoping to get some advice from seasoned kiasu parents! We moved to SG two years ago from NYC and became PRs last year. We have a 5 year old daughter that we would like to enroll in the local system but feel at a loss in terms of which school to choose.
We live in under 1 Km from Raffles GS, but scared about stories on the amount of academic pressure on the girls. I don't think that would be the right environment for our girl. Heard good things about SCGS in Novena, and MGS but then >2Km ....am I wasting my time by trying to enroll her in those schools?

Is it possible to contact schools for a visit? I realize that I am very late in the process but any advice would be highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!!!

Based on historical results, for P2C, there will be no chance at all if you are not within 1 km of SCGS or MGS. Even for RGPS, 1km will need balloting. Regardless, they are all very popular and bound to be competitive during registration.

To be objective, you should try for RGPS. The school should be able to prepare the kids well even if there is no secondary sch affiliation.
