Hi,

Besides the address on IC to prove that you stay within a km from the school, i hear that there is a need to prove that you have resided at the I/C listed address for a minimum of one year, and it musn't be a rental unit.  

We haven't been successful in buying an apt within a km from the school, that we like and can afford of course.  We are thinking of renting a unit while we continue our search to buy.

Does anyone know about these other "conditions"?   And where/how we can verify for sure?

Thank you.

Phase 1 2 etc

Hi
I have not lived in Singapore for almost 20 years so please pardon my ignorance.

I used to go to Anglo Chinese Juniour College almost 20 years ago. What are the chances of my daughter getting into MGPS? Affiliated schools still right? What phase will I be in?

Thanks!

MGS

Yup..a friend of mine did her research with one of the PVs..and she told her to email to the Vice Principal instead. I think only old girls qualify to be PVs..it is so hard to get in even if u r living within 1km..and btw, they only have like 6 or 7 P1 classes. >8/ Why dun u try SCGS?

hi there,

MGS is sure a popular school. My hubby went down to the school with the intention of finding out the possibility of getting into the school.....  sad to say that they do not accept PVs! So, parents whom wants to join the school as PVs can forget about it

MGS

MGS is one of the top schools in Singapore.  Vacancies are hotly contested as evident from here.  If you are not already a PV and live more than 1km from MGS you are on shaky ground since you will be lucky just to qualify for balloting if you are less than 2km in Phase 2C.  If you are more than 2km away, don't even bother to try for MGS in Phase 2C.  You will not get in.

As for recommendations for phonics class, there are a number of forum threads regarding this very topic.  Here's one.

Thanks for the input. What

Thanks for the input. What about the ease of withdrawing from one school and registering in another one. I have heard of friends doing it but it seem cumbersome; you seem to be at the mercy of the clerk entering into the system to withdraw cause as long as you don't withdraw, you cannot re-register.

Also, any idea what is the balloting like? How many empty spaces for how many ballotees?

MGS

MGS did require balloting in Phase 2B in the last 2 years and from the take up rate in Phase 1 so far, it looks likely that it will also require balloting once again from Phase 2B.  The question is whether the balloting is going to be open to you in Phase 2B, ie. for >2km.  It is very difficult to tell from the past 2 years data at this early stage of the registration process.

It is a risk you will have to consider very carefully.  My advice is for you to call up MGS and find out from them what your chances are in Phase 2B.  They will definitely have a good idea what the demand is for Phase 2B, given the number of applicants so far.

St Margaret's is likely to enter into a >2km balloting situation for Phase 2C, extrapolating from the past 2 years' history.
