My area, have a lot of parents that will rent the apartment 6mths in advance, and once their kids get into the school, they will move away…

This is totally unfair!!!

=======================================


based on past years' trend results observed -
if parents staying in Bukit Timah area, fail to ballot in Phase 2C (open to public) into favorite, popular co-ed schools like (Nanyang, Henry Park, Pei Hwa), nor into (MGS girls primary nor Rgps), then the only school with vacancies left in Phase 2C Supplementary is :
Bukit Timah primary.

I lives in Shelford Area, having a girl born in 2009. I am a Methodist Church Member as well.
I know that chances of my girl entering MGS is very slim even we have the Church letter.
For Phase 2C, I understand that even if there are more applicants than available seats, priority is still given to Singaporean + living within 1km first, then following by >1km and beyond.
Am I right?
So, I am really confused which school should I put my girl to.
Personally I prefer MGS as of Methodist teaching.

No use about getting the membership for phase2B if the school in that area are full of members by itself. The km thing still functions.

Look at MGS, in phase 2B, within 1km, also need to ballot…no chance at all.
So, if we stay out of 1km, either wait for phase 2C, which also, another ballot to go on…I rather choose some schools with high opportunities
