Hi all,


Currently, living more than 2KM from ACSP and ACSJ. Eligible for Phase 2B registration. Which one should I go for? If 2B fails, worth it to go for 2C? Any advice is appreciated.

Hi all,

Currently, living more than 2KM from ACSP and ACSJ. Eligible for Phase 2B registration. Which one should I go for? If 2B fails, worth it to go for 2C? Any advice is appreciated.

Usually higher chance for balloting in ACSJ, but best to monitor both. 2C can forget it.

Given the previous trend, what should I look out for to monitor both? Or should I just go for one ?

Dear Chefkiasu and Fellow parents,


Can I get some opinions/advice on my kids P1 registration?
Living: Hougang (Near Kovan MRT). Within 1KM of PLMGS and 2KM of Maris stella
Kids: 5 years girl, 2 years boy and 1 year girl
Membership & Association:
1) Member of a Methodist church
2) Alumni of Mayflower Primary School

Opinions/Advice:
1) Any risk in registering my girl for Phase 2B for PLMGS?
2) What’s the risk to register my boy for Maris Stella in Phase 2c?
3) Should I even try ACS (junior) for Phase 2B?
4) Should I consider relocating to Bishan and attempt to enrol Phase 2C for Ai tong Pri

Dear all,


I will be praying hard for wisdom to make a decision on this but in the meanwhile, please feel free to give me you inputs/comments on this. I am an alumni from Mayflower Primary School (Ang Mo kio) and both my wife and I are members of a Methodist church. We have 3 kids (2 girls and a boy) and my fighter is due for P1 registration next year, 2018. My Wife and I are contemplating if we should register for Methodist girls school phase 2b, > 2km, Paya Lebar phase 2b or CHIJ St nicks phase 2c, less than 1KM (has the intention to relocate to Ang Mo Kio). Love to hear your advice.

P1Des,

\"my fighter is due for P1 registration next year, 2018.\"? Donu mean 2019?

You need to reside in your new address at least when yr \"fighter\" due for registration, both yr I/Cs
reflect the new address. Also, rmbr this batch are the chinese 'dragon' babies year. Competition will be very stiff.


My preference wld be :-

1. MayFlower Pri Sch (If u're reg'd Alumni)
2. Paya Lebar MGS (u get priority for 2b2?)
3. CHIJ St Nicks (tough competition & yr boy hv to start scratching head for Pri sch again)

Maybe u hear other parents' input. Abv just my own preference. However, if u go for less stress & logistic arrgmts, maybe Mayflower is your 1st choice & not worry abt it since all yr other kids will get a priority place once yr oldest child get a place there.

Dear Estéema, truly appreciate your advice!

For MGS phase 2B, there is usually balloting for <1km, so unlikely u will have a chance (see https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/bukit-timah/)

For PLMGS phase 2B, most years the balloting is for 1-2km. If ure in a lucky year, *maybe* you will get a chance to ballot in the >2km category (see https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/hougang/)

For St Nicks phase 2C, most years there will be balloting for <1km. If u have the risk appetite for it, you can execute your plan to move to AMK and undergo the ballot. Mayflower can be your 2C(S) backup school (see https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/ang-mo-kio/)

Since you have a boy too, may I suggest you just go straight for Geylang Methodist School at phase 2B. Then u can settle all 3 kids in one headache-free registration. (Subsequent registrations will be under guaranteed phase 1 I mean). There is an affiliated secondary school and JC. Reduces the academic pressure on all 3 kids, plus they receive a religious education in line with your beliefs. Win win all round. Unless there is sthg bad about GMPS which I don’t know about. Ask your church friends, they may have some insights to share. Ref Link is here: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/geylang/

Thanks zac's mum! Appreciate your advice.
