It makes absolutely no difference. How many times do people need to be told about this. For government schools or aided schools, it makes absolutely no difference.

It is natural for some KGs to have more students getting into famous aided schools. KGs in district X tend to accept more students living in district X, and students living in district X tend to get allocated to primary schools in district X.

For part 1 of allocation, if a KG takes i a lot of children of old boy/old girl of a famous primary and with the same religion, do you think that the chances of their getting in through stage 1 is higher?

Don't be silly, the fact that some KGs have more students getting into an aided school does NOT does NOT does NOT does NOT mean that the principal of the primary school thinks that the particukar KG is a big deal ....

That, of course., does not stop C9s from gossiping about "Oh my KG has lots of students getting into this and that aided school. Must be because the principal likes our good quality la ..."

Yes.

In case people are still unsure, people get allocated to famous Catholic primary schools because either

(1) they have 20 or 25 points (i.e. mom/dad graduate plus Catholic); (stage 1 of system) or

(2) they live in the correct school net (stage 2),

If a particular KG has a high rate of entry into a famous aided (I am not talking about DSS or privatye schools) Catholic school it is because it takes in a lot of students falling under (1) or (2) above.

It is not because the KG trains its students particularly well and the aided school principal then says to EMB "O please allocate students from this KG to me please please please." (and therefore do not believe C9s who say "O, the principal of this and that aided schoollikes to admit students from this and that KG". They are C9s who "yee ngor chuen ngor")

Understood?

It is very sad (and makes me feel very anxious) to see the same questions being asked a million times. It shows that some parents do not bother to read previous posts or do not try to understand the system. Or, even if they understand the system, they still think that there could be "preference" or "backdoor" based on which KG you go to. Ceertainly not for stages 1 and 2. and frankly, even if you proceed to stage 3 (where the principal can decided on a small number of places), it may not depend on what KG you go to ....

No need to say thanks. Hope that you can later withstand the irresistable C9 gossip/rumour mill of "which KG gets the most students allocated to this or that school". Look at the other threads on BK. There are lots of false impression being created. There is another MSS thread where parents are getting very excited about students in some KGs getting allocated places in MSS . :hammer:

DSS or or private school, of course, is a different story altogether. Charlotte_mom can tell you something about it.
