Hi everyone

I saw from past statistics that it is rather easy to enter MC at Phase 2C. Just want to confirm that it is so (that I am not reading the info wrongly). Also, to ask why MC does not seem so popular with parents.

Compare to neighboring girls’ schools such as CHIJ SNGS, CHIJ TP or even those slightly further afield such as CHIJ OLGC or PLMGS, MCS comes with no affiliation bonus.

Furthermore, there’s also an issue of several popular schools like PCPS and ATS sucking away most of the oxygen.

Would it be easy for SC in Phase 2C (out of 2km)? Am considering it for this year's P1 registration.

Sc out of 2km under 2c must ballot for MCS?

Thanks for the reply but it’s sg50 babies this year… Highest population for baby birth rates… Keeping finger crossed.

hi may i know any parents here got their daughters in P1 this year through phase 2c(s). Saw last year, phase 2c(s) there was balloting. was the balloting within 1-2 km and above 2km.


looking to see if i should go chij tp through phase 2c and backup marymount.

And for parents in marymount convent, how is the culture in the school?

Aren't you wasting your application?
With 11 vacancy and 29 registration as of yesterday, I would assume most, if not all, are < 1km.
Would suggest you contact the school to find out about the latest stats while you can. If you need to reapply elsewhere, you still have time.

I have called, so far, within 2km is safe .

I took the plunge 2CS, we got in![/quote]Hi, may i know if you got in through balloting through phase 2c(S) within 1 km or 1-2 km or above 2km

Last year for 2020 application, we got balloted out of MCS in phase 2CS. We were staying outside of 2km and my kid is a Singaporean. SC under 2km last year all got in for 2CS but balloting happened for outside 2km.

Huh?

Thought you were 1-2km last year? Didn’t check carefully? Risk for SC > 2km in Phase 2CS can be high because there’s really no restriction in who can apply. Many people who may have wanted a girl’s school but were balloted out of CHIJ TP, SNGS, SCGS, would probably have this school as one of their back up option. I think the government has helped in placing limits on PR applicants for this school, otherwise, there would probably be less place for SC in Phase 2CS.

Hi All! I’m interested in enrolling my daughter in the school. Given that there is no affiliated secondary school, may I find out what are the usual secondary schools that the kids apply to go to after their p6? Thanks!
