Your question whether take Tamil or Hindi -
Best to speak to hod of both, ask them for percentage passes in both languages, what problems commonly encountered, and how to overcome -
ChiefKiasu:
If it does come down to phase 2CS, not many choices left. Farrer Park, Bendemeer, Balestier Hill, First TPY. It's a boy, so can't choose Marymount Convent.
Sorry to hear that. Since you stay within 1km of Hong Wen, you have a better than average chance of getting into the schooljaster:
Sigh sigh. Didn't get balloted in for HWS in phase 2B. Extremely \"lucky\" that can't get in with 83.9% chance.
Now, joining everyone else in Phase 2C. Still going for HWS again. Wonder how it will be with a lower chance now...... Sigh. Sticking with HWS because it's the most convenient to my home.
Looking at phase 2CS for worst case scenario, which school do you think is a good backup for failed phase 2C for HWS again?
. Hope you can capitalise on that this time.
You will have to state what schools you have in mind for Phase 2CS for us to comment on your options. -

How about Kheng Cheng and Cedar? Are they near you? They tend to be more popular in Phase 2CS. -
[quote="chan Boon Tat Edwin"]also many dont like marymout because it has no affiliation. …
It doesn’t bother me about affiliation because I know where is my child’s standard. I trust my child’s capabilities to work hard and go to a sec school she likes in future. A child has the choice to decide where she wants to study.
Affiliation is for parents who worry their children cannot make up the marks to go to a good sec in future.
MCS also can produce students who go to other top secondary schools.
True.
Like CHIJ Toa Payoh primary -
There are Some girls inside there take it for granted, "Oh ! Well ! Our Secondary school is just next door only what. Just walk across will do lah ! "
these girls lazy to study.
In the end after Psle, they did badly, cant go back IJ, end up in some other Sec schools.
However, there is also another group of hardworking girls inside here.
They studied hard, played hard, went to Top secondary schools.
Now, CHIJ Toa Payoh primary raised their affliated Sec school entrance bar.[/quote]
What is the cut-off score for CHIJ TPY Pri to CHIJ TPY Sec? -
ChiefKiasu:
But last year, there were no phase 2CS for both of them. I think I'm 1-2km from Kheng Cheng, not sure about Cedar.jaster:

Does MOE update today the applicants who registered online?
I read somewhere on MOE website it says something like updates will be provided on 'each registration day'. But I can't find that message to attach here.... So if today is counted as a registration day, there should be updates this evening.
Let's see. -

Agree with you, sembgal!Hi, my girl is very happy in Marymount Convent School. We brought her to MCS to register on last day of Phase 2C last year. She saw the school and like it. We were lucky to be able to enrol in MCS even though we are more than 2km. My girl likes all girls school environment. There are 2 very good schools within 1km from my place ( require balloting within 1km for SC) but I chose to give that up and register my child in Phase 2C last year in MCS as I know I will confirm get a place in Phase 2C even though I'm more than 2km away. In fact, it is so many km away.
Other parents prefer to send to Pei Chun, CHIJ TPY, Ai Tong, St Nicholas Girls, SCGS, RGS, Nanyang, MGS and most use Marymount as back up for Phase 2Cs. Marymount location not so accessible. Some drive their children to school or let children take school bus.
I know of friends with child in school and they told me all the good things of MCS. So I made the decision to register my child in Phase 2C as I know many parents are using MCS as back up for Phase 2Cs. In fact, I have to thank other parents last year for not considering MCS first choice in Phase 2C. I was able to get that opportunity to enrol my child and let my child benefit all the good stuff the school has to offer.
In fact, I have received several pm of parents asking me about MCS as they have intentions to put their girls in MCS. I will say if you were smart like me, enrol your child in MCS.
A bright child go any school is also bright, not necessary to go very famous school to become bright or brighter. Just visit the school website to check the column under Parents. There is so much to see in there. Good luck to all parents.
I personally know a teacher in MCS and she's all praise for the school. It's definitely a place where they take care of children with ALL kinds of learning styles / issues. So it does open my DD's eyes! And she enjoys school every single day.
Whilst affiliation is certainly desirable, like what phtthp also mentioned, it's virtually impossible to get into those schools.
MCS is definitely a top choice when it comes to 2CS, but competition will be super stiff then (unless you're within 2 km and you'll be relatively safe, based on last year). Alternatively, there's also Canossa Convent (which a friend said the DD really loves it there!) at 2CS, but that's last year. Hence, parents with DD will need to carefully utilise your opportunity at phase 2C now. -
May I know how do I interpret this figure from the balloting history? App is 543% for 2c no of school vacancies is 330. How do I read this? 543% X 330 = no of applicants for that phase??

Hi! Anyone know if the updates for number of applicants can be found on line or we have to call the school to find out? Thanks!
