[Novena] Primary Schools

[2hotTOhandle]

Personally I feel some of us hv been lulled into a false sense of security after MOE announced the SC priority rule this yr. I believe they knew there were not so many PR kids registering at P1 every yr to make a major impact.


Many PR kids are mid-streamers or could be attending int'l schs.

So kena SNOOKED big time.

My guesstimate was 50 kids vying for 29 places at SCGS. The actual number is now quite close to my estimate. Last yr's number was 43, so 50 is not an unreasonable estimate.

So question is to all SCGS parents: will u take the gamble? I still can't decide.

Update!!!!

A for now!!!
SCGS
45 SC for 29 seats...

I really don't believe this...

All SC living less then 1km
All Girls born in 2006

This is not right!!!!! Must be many Fake addresses! / Rental addresses....
This is so unfair for OWNERS who OWN property that been living in the area for a long time....

That’s crazy! Odds are not in your favour guys as it stands now 16 of you will not get a place. Higher than any other previous years data for scgs. There are still 3more sessions left. You guys are really brave playing with your kid’s future like this. You do realise that plan B is going to be an atrocious school right if you plan to run to it at 2c supp.

My Friend and I both will be throwing the towel in.... Good that we waited until the 1st day to consider....
So good news parents, you have less 2 seats to fight with!!!!!

Good Luck!

\"Sorry SCGS, you miss out 2 talented girls....\" :salute:

2 hot to handle if you recall I mentioned in my earlier post that this new rule will make no difference. Your competitors are scs. I was right about that and I will be right about the fact that you guys will regret come the 7th August if you don’t act now.

think SC figures going to rise like stock market.
P1 Mummy promised that she's going to take care of Fake addresses.

agree with 2HotToHandle ... this year after intro changes to give SC priority, somehow different ball game.

Steamystream wise choice… Come to smps, great school as well. Your girl will love it there trust me. It’s really much of a muchness between scgs and smps, so far smps looks far less competitive. Don’t regret later when you are stuck choosing between BHPS or First Tayoh. Those are really 3rd rate schools. Smps v scgs very marginal difference. Both schools produce young ladies who grow up to be high flying professionals and well rounded mothers. That’s more than I can say about plan C schools.

let 2hotTOhandle discuss calmly with her husband, decide.


she may be one of the lucky 29, or opt for RGPS/ MGS / St Marg / Marymount.

2hotToHandle,
do not be affected by people asking you to jump ship.
because you do not know them on internet.

i)
they may request you do so, out of genuine concern.

ii)
on the other hand, they may request you do so, purpose:
to reduce / eliminate competition, from SCGS SCs.

Stephenie, 7th August is balloting. The nerve wrecking part. The worse the odds the more nerve wrecking it will be of course. Like its going to be in this case.
