P1 mummy, I hope and certainly pray that you fail to get a place for your girl in scgs because I would like to witness how u move heaven and earth to know who cheated. It will be interesting to know. I praying very hard.

:rahrah:

The words was taken out of my mouth!
So glad I am not in the running!

One parent can really upset the school's reputation.....Imagine if her daughter get bullied in school, my god! The MOE, CID, FBI will be called in.

Hey! With all the mumbo jumbo big words, really wonder why your daughter is not in your ex school? :yikes:

Opps! Lostinwoods and my family might be in trouble now! Damn! :?:

Oh Steamystream, thanks for the reminder. I can actually go for CHIJ kellock too as my mum is within 1-2Km of the school.(I totally forgot abt CHIJ kellock till u mentioned)

Just called the school, the person said 1-2km \"so far still safe\". Thks thks!!!

My niece is in P5 there.... it is an all rounded school, Tab dancing, Net ball, Tennis, Drama.... does lots of Charity work with different countries... I feel it is a non stressful school... and it is still an all girl school...
Well, may see your DD there too... :xedfingers:

Maybe I am consoling myself... :scratchhead:

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.

I have put my daughter into CHIJ Kellock.... further away but closer to our work and my parents place - I would be able to bring her to school daily!... IJ Toa payoh is not easy to get in too... So we decided Kellock will be the best...
***Maybe sit for a test next year and see if she qualify into SCGS.. So might see you guys there in 2014...

Good luck to all in the balloting! :xedfingers:

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.

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:

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…

NYPS has another benefit over SCGS - grandchildren regardless of gender will not have this problem we are facing now![/quote]
WOW! Thinking so ahead! :yikes:
Thanks great to know!

spursburger:

omg 41 SCs < 1km for SCGS.... gone... gone... gone...

Wah! Suay! Move into < 1km from SCGS since 2.5 years ago.. all planning for this day.... shattered dreams, if you ask me!

Brighter side of things..... the property prices have shot up since 2.5 years ago... But $$$ is not everything! :stupid:

No point of me registering my gal in SCGS.... the number are too far apart... 29/41 more to come!

OMG! more are considering and yet <1km ! I am not alone on this…
