      Yes agree SNGS is extremely hard to get in. More than 10 years ago, I engaged the VP extensively for a chance to be PV. They requested us to move to within 1km even before P1 to allow us to be volunteer. S&P agreement with condo in construction is not good enough. Anyway we didn’t try the sch eventually as the balloting ratio is too unfavourable.

        Year after year, there’s only the bare minimum 20 seats for 2B and 2C.
        And I think before 2013 or 2014, there was no setting aside of 20+20 for 2b and 2c.

        I think the school has an effective way of internalising the love for Chinese lang/culture, even if some may not say CL is their favourite subject, you will find that they dont hate it.

          So much good reviews of this school… Good to know its so well rounded and important emphasis on Mandarin. Look at Jim Rogers daughters, then you will know how important it is to learn and master Chinese!

            Normally:

            1. SAP schools are hard to get in.
            2. Schools with a strong alumni network are hard to get in.
            3. Schools with affiliation to a good secondary school are hard to get in.
            4. “Full” schools are hard to get in.

            School that is all of the above like SNGS is unsurprisingly hard to get in.

              True, but also many strong schools without affiliation like Tao Nan, Henry Park etc also hard to get in.

              I think SNGS is good as in its not super religious like MGS so non catholics can also feel very much a part of the community, and good Chinese is also a bonus. Lastly, the housing options around SNGS is not as expensive as Bukit Timah so worth a try for people aiming 2C.

                Tao Nan is a SAP school - therefore, item 1 above.

                Henry Park is a GEP school - which I left out because not relevant to SNGS but yes, it’s another type of schools that normally hard to get into.

                    join only,
                    after VP (admin) have officially allocated your daughter a class, later on.

                    on P1 Orientation day itself,
                    many active P1 parents will be around, chit-chat excitedly, asking who is keen to join the various P1 classes' parents chat group.
                    Your 2021 P1 daughter will stay (remain) inside this same class for next two years, lower primary (P1 and P2)

                    P1 Orientation had been scheduled on
                    Friday, 20 Novemeber 2020
                    8 am to 11 am

                    website school calendar is here

                    However, due to covid-19 (asymtomatic), not sure if P1 Orientation will still take place this year, as been earlier planned for

                        Hi, for p5, is there a non HCL class?

                        What happens if we don't do HCL? Can we still go back to st nicks secondary after psle?

                        Are the students in non HCL classes given opportunities to go for math olympiad etc if their math is good enough?

                        Thank you for sharing. 😊
