fqw - sounds like u really like e sch.. tt is pretty reassuring to hear too..


jennifer - as i am a ptwm, i will usually be able to adjust my schedule to pick e kids and my dad has also offered to help if required. however it does seem like there is a need to reconsider if the CV lessons are not as enriching and all.. due to change in P/management?

we received another email from the school that an official reply is being sent to us after getting the P's signature.. kinda makes me wonder if there is a mix up as we have yet to even submit our application? haha

Fqw - thanks for e tiP… Actually I just "liked" e school… More like a gut feeling than any other thing so when I actually have to pen down reasons I am a bit stuck! Haha… Will think thru e topics listed and write out r essay tog with dh when he is back from his trip… Our first "project" work tog in a series of many many more I believe when e kids start

Drickymummy - oic.. Wld u mind sharing with me why u chose phpps? My \"feel\" is that phpps has a rich culture and strong focus on values and at e same time academic emphasis is also tt. Is that true? Thanks!

I just received an email from e school to submit an application on the topics few posted… Any prev pv here with tips on how best to write the "essay"? Fqw? Hee


Drickymummy - lucky u got in thru balloting! Or it would have been upsetting? Was phpps worth e "stress"?

Janet - thanks for e advise! We will see how the pv application goes. If hubby and I are lucky enough to be selected we will probably then move within 1 km to cement the chances. As it is also a stretch on finances to move over to tt area at this juncture. If not we just gotta ballot for the sch nearest to us currently which is actually even more oversubscribed at 1 km than phpps which was part of e reason why we considered shifting. This patroller school is a neighborhood school but doesn’t accept pv…

FQW - thanks for e info! Do u mind me asking if u had to fill on any application form or "proposal"? They just asked my hb to send in my child’s particulars, ie dob and mailing address. Was wondering how they would decide based on tt and whether I sld write a short note on how I can contribute? Also wld u know which area phpps usually needs pv in? Hee… Sorry for e questions.

Trap - yup, I also noticed. My initial plan was to do pv AND move but since the pv thing seems to be closed I guess I will relook my options too.. Thanks for a advise

FQW - oic. Thanks. Coz when I called to enquire, the school told me they still have vacancies but there was no application form to be filled and I was told to just email my child's particulars and mailing address to the school generic email. plan b is to move within 1 km n try my luck? wise move?

Hi parents,


I have a 2007 ds1 and I am thinking of registering him into phpps. I callEd the school to enquire abt pv but was just told to send an email with my child’s particulars and wait for a reply. Do u know if there willl be an application form to be filled in later? Or does it actually mean we don’t stand a chance? Thanks! I am actually an alumni of a gals school but my no 1 is a boy! Keke
