hi, all the helping mummies and daddies,


i am staying at toa payoh central and near to both pei chun and kheng cheng. checked this year registration status, there will be around 60 vacancies in 2C, while for kheng cheng, last year in kheng cheng, there are 38 vacancies in 2CS. do you guys think i should try to register for pei chun and try? :?

thanks a lot for the advice.

Pei Chun is pretty hot this year... there is probably balloting in Phase 2C for less than 1km with a chance of 1 in 2. Conversely, Kheng Cheng has lagged slightly so far. Most parents would take on the risk of trying for Pei Chun in Phase 2C, using Kheng Cheng as a backup. That sounds logical, but I must caution that the influx of parents using Kheng Cheng as a backup for failure at Phase 2C at other schools may cause Kheng Cheng to require balloting in Phase 2C(S). So if you are a risk taker, go for Pei Chun in Phase 2C with Kheng Cheng as a backup. If you don't like going through any balloting, just go for Kheng Cheng in Phase 2C and focus on preparing your child for Primary 1 instead.

HI , my son is going to MSH next year (2010) .. any other parents with kids going in too ? and how many are newbies to MSH ? (i.e. not via elder siblings.. like mine) , would like to forma small support network.. many thanks..

Sounds like a great idea tiredmama! You definitely need a support network in the same school because kids can really be quite blur - don't know what homework to do, what are the upcoming tests, spelling lists, etc. Wait... I'll set up a Forum for Parents Support Groups for each school!
