\"Episode Two: “Let The Right One In”
Yeah! Saw the trailer. It says the couple stayed within 1 km from the school, completed PV work, but yet the principal didn't admit their child. Hence, they were suing the principal.
This topic is something close to our hearts. -
unless it is ballot, else quite strange that within 1km and done PV yet unable to get in.
If ballot and failed, then can only blame own’s bad luck. -
tks, jenybc. hope to hear from the sch soon. keeping fingers crossed
-
just saw that \"the pupil\" trailer. don't think i will be at home to catch that episode. for those who are going to catch that, pls share details. tks a bunch

Every year NHPS phase 2B can take in 40-42 kids. I just wonder how many PV they take in for 2010 registration to see how is the chance. Anybody has any insider news? I have yet to complete the required hours.
The schools I know of that take in PV usually has an estimate of Phase 2B places and so take in number of PV accourdingly, plus, unspokenly, those staying far away are not accepted for PV, in case need to ballot - sure to be unsuccessful - so do not want the PV to feel cheated or disappointed eventhough it is stated very clearly that being PV is NO guarantee of a place, though they try to gauge the vacancies as best they could -

If the grandfather is a member if a clan but not the father of the child, will priority still given to the child?
Of course. Especially if the schools are in high demand. Even if you offer yourself for free they also dowan.lovebearsallthings:
I didn't know that some schools actually interview you before they decide if they even want you to do 'volunteer service' for them!
btw, what do you mean by 'belong to the clan'? Are you talking about 'old boy/old girl'?
By clan, we are referring to the associations set up for the various dialect groups, eg. the Hokkien Huay Kwan is for Hokkiens, the Hainan Huay Kwan is for Hainans, etc. There are certain schools affiliated with these clans, and they take into account clan membership in giving priority to members looking to send their children to affiliated schools. -
LiLing:
No dear, either the father or mother got to be a member of the clan to get priority registration.
If the grandfather is a member if a clan but not the father of the child, will priority still given to the child? -

Yes as long there is balloting, u must be prepared that u are one of the unlucky ones, no matter whether u stay 10m or 1km from the school.unless it is ballot, else quite strange that within 1km and done PV yet unable to get in.
If ballot and failed, then can only blame own's bad luck.
My advice is if this school has a history of balloting under 2B for those staying within 1km, pls go offer ur PV service to another school. No point lamenting about ur bad luck after u dont get a place when u know in the first place that the chances of balloting is high.
Of coz if there were no balloting under 2B within 1km in the previous years and it happened in ur year of registration and u dont get a place, then my condolences....
