Hi i am considering PLMGS as one of the option for my girl who will register for P1 in 2024. i do have a concern that in our family myself and my husband are free thinkers, and her grandparents are buddhists. i personally would not influence or mind her own religion selection. i would just like to understand from existing parents for the culture of PLMGS, on the view of children and the parents who are not Christians. is it ok if the child maintains her own stand if she is not drawn to the religion?

its ok we are not christians and I shifted to get my girl into the school for dragon yr but you need to be able to accept that they will learn to sing some songs that will be seen as linked to the religion in school. My girl is already in P4 this year.

[quote=FongBelleBelle post_id=1924506 time=1564509754 user_id=165391]Hi,

Have got a place under 2B in Yangzhen, but eyeing PLMGS as new house (already did hdb completion today) is within 1km, SC, which traditionally didn't need balloting every year.

But called up school today after 430pm, they informed that this year is very unusual, about 62 SC 1km< have already registered out of 85 vacancies! Dragon year 2018 only saw 66 SC 1km<. Abit stressed now.

Back up plans are to:
1. Stay in Yangzhen
2. Withdraw and register 2C at PLMGS (but at what odd is sensible???) and if fail to,
3a. register CHIJ OLGC during 2CS (1km from current IC address)
3b. Register back in YZPS during 2CS but seems like would not have vacancies by then.

Any kind advice please?
Thank you!

I think you have good info at hand, get the numbers at the end of the today then tomorrow decide in the afternoon if you want to withdraw and register at PLMGS. Please kindly check all the necessary documents required for TOP or newly completed unit with the PLMGS and no hiccups here. Odd threshold has to be mutually accepted by both parents, know what you in for. I think all SC <1km should be safe. (last year 66 within 1km for 68 spots, and 93 applied, so many >1km :faint: )

Yangzheng - someone else will be happy when you withdraw as it will be full by 2C. so there is no turning back once you withdraw.

OLGC first day number is higher this year. you need to spare 13-15 for 2Cs for your within 1km to work. then again, if there is balloting, then 30 month rule may apply.

Thank you Lexy and all for the reply!

Anyone has insights/ feedback on YZPS vs OLGN?

What other schools could we possibly look at? No siblings for now so co-ed school isn't a major concern.[/quote]U can wait til last day n ask. Last yr there were 68 dragon applicants for PLMGS within 1km. There was 50+ after the first day so 62 isn’t a lot more. I withdrew from another school and went over last yr. All within 1km got in and there was one place left as someone fr earlier phase withdrew so many 1-2km ballot for one seat. Sent u a pm just now.

hi all, what are the chances of getting into PLMGS if we fall in Phase 2C and we stay within 1km?

depends on which year. last year 2018 registration for p1 2019 was very tight...started off with 68 places (increase to 69 as someone from earlier phase withdrew). There were 68 SC within 1km and more than 20 SCs within 1-2km had to ballot for that one remaining place. This year there are more vacancies left so should be better. SG50 year maybe tough.

Appreciate if theres any feedback and referral code about Serangoon branch?

[quote=\"icyjo20\"]Theres a whatsapp group. Can your Pm me to join the fb thread first to get in touch with the admin of the whatsapp group?

Pm done, thank you

Hi can pm me the watsapp group? Enrolling my girl for 2020 p1. Thanks[/quote]Hi the WhatsApp group that was previously mentioned only for 2019 p1 so not for 2020 intake

PLMGS only has one seat left for 1-2km group. 68 SCs within 1km. 68 was the original no of vacancies at the start of 2c without the withdrawal.

Theres a whatsapp group for PLMGS. Can your Pm me the details to join the 2019 P1 whatsapp group?

Hougang pri already called parents within 1-2km to withdraw. No chance

Anyone has the breakdown in the numbers so far?

My house distance is same as stylocool, Mee Toh fall under 1-2 km for me while Punggol View/Green <1 km, if i want to avoid balloting, issit safe to go Waterway straightaway? Should be quite safe even though its 1-2 km from my place right?

If you prefer a nearer school, just apply to the ones within 1km even if high chance of balloting. As waterway will highly likely still have vacancies for 2CS later on. I used to stay in the same area not too long ago
