2013 P1 Registration Exercise for 2014 In-Take

ryes:

Thanks sembgal


Unfortunately mcs can't tell me over the phone the applicants in each distance breakdown.

Dear Ryes,

Oh dear, does it mean they only entertain those who go down personally? Hope some KSF expert can have a way of wringing the numbers from them!

Anyhow, though it's oversubscribed for Day 1, it could include PR too? Hope you'll successfully attain your goal today! I'm with you!

I doubt Ignatius' article will have any effect on parents even though some parents have already mentioned such ideas in this forum. He's just saying nobody will ask which primary school you came from so it isn't that important to have a branded primary school. Life's lessons can be learnt anywhere...


Problem with the article is, he's looking at the issue from an outsider's angle coz he is a swinging bachelor. They should have gotten someone with kids to write that but I guess those journalists with kids have all sent their kids to branded schools!

[micollh]

yeap agree ! read that article on Sunday too… but if he has kids i thk he may write something completely different lol !

Hi lil_jade


No no…the lady at mcs very nice. Can call. I didn’t go down to ask.
But said she is not able (maybe "cannot" sounds harsh) to provide me breakdown
Coz they didnt count yet maybe?

But she said majority is more than 2km n unfortunately I call under that category.
So…haven’t decide to risk or not yet.

How’s ur fren?

嫌香港教育不够严苛　吴镇宇为儿报读培群

吴镇宇上周和新加坡籍老婆王丽萍和5岁儿子Feynman悄悄来新，据香港《东方新地》报道，他此趟返狮城是为儿子找学校，他最后选择了出名校风严谨的公立培群学校。

报道指，吴镇宇自小以军训教导儿子，据悉他的教育方式就是不停打击儿子的自信心，让他在失败中学习。

吴镇宇反对时下家长提倡的亲子互动，他不满香港社会太自由，嫌弃香港传统式教育不够严苛，所以日前趁儿子放暑假，特地飞来新为他找学校。

知情人说，吴镇宇认为小孩子一定要管教，做错事就要打或骂，不可以让孩子在太舒服的环境下长大，所以打算送儿子来新读书。

“他还专选公立学校，喜欢学校校风够严，他的老婆是新加坡人，申请手续会容易些。”

[b]上周，他们一家三口便飞返新加坡，吴镇宇除了为陪老婆回新探亲，也为了到学校面试。

据悉，他计划明年让儿子过来新加坡读小学，若面试过关，接下来还会再飞返本地办入学手续。[/b]

So unfair if his son gets in just bcos he's a celebrity. So what his wife is sporean, his son is not! How can MOE allow such thing to happen. He sounded like it's so damn easy for his son to get in. He better go by the rule and register in Phase 3 which is for foreigner, of course, no hope of Pei Chun Public. Sporean can't even get in, who is he to expect so.

Joyful22,


No harm in putting on wait list. 2yrs back, My friend failed to get a place at MBS at phase 2c… She immediately went to put her son’s name on wait list… Her hubby sneered at her for being too Kiasu but she couldn’t care less. Then, on 30dec, she received the call from MBS to inform her that her son had gotten a place in the school. She readily accepted it, rushed down to sch to get the uniform and books…

Her only loss was… She had wasted money on the other sets of uniforms and some books.
