Based on past years TNS enrollment, balloting would be neccessary for phase 2C for within 1km. Competition is expected to be hotter with more condos springing up in the surrounding areas.


TNS published the number registered by distance on daily basis on the whiteboard outside the registeration room.

Thanks.

I think it's not too late to be a PV but think the role are restricted to traffic warden right.

Also, I am concerned about the opportunity cost of what if she don't get in under 1km.... :stupid: Seeing how stressful P1 registration is, probably I will stick to phase 1 at the end of the day.

Yes, TNS PV is traffic warden duty only but covers duties at


- main gate
- back gate
- canteen gate
- zebra crossing at back gate
- zebra crossing inside school

IMO Canteen gate is the easiest & least stress … sheltered from the weather and basically stop parents from entering school.

Past years balloting for phase 2B has been between 1-2 km.


Registeration for PV for 2005 babies has started in Jan and will close once there are more applicants than available PV places. Applicants will then be invited to the school to attend a briefing of the duties and open balloting.

Hi Tankee,


To get into TNS by PV is strictly by 80 visits as Traffic Wardens?
There is no other duties to perform at TNS?

[tankee]

as far as i know, yes only traffic warden, 80 sessions of 30 minutes each.


Other duties are mainly performed by PSG.

Did you get in via PV or SHHK? Wonder how regular must be traffic duty be.

Wow like that have to go down the school 80 times to be Traffic Wardens. :!:

I got into phase 2B as PV.


I did traffic warden duties, twice a week, 10 weeks per term for 4 terms.

Good thing about TNS is that they do not expect PV parents to do more than 40 hours and if the day you are supposed to be on duty and there is no school (eg public holiday, swimming competition, PSLE marking, etc), then you may not need to do makeup.

... Tomorrow No School!

:lol:

And that would be very ironical should the rumoured move become a reality

Not sure the exact year but it is true that Tao Nan will be relocating. Most prob 2013 to Tampines.

There is no official word on this. And if TNS does shift, it is very likely to be for short-term while the current premise is being upgraded.

There is still the option to reduce the number of classes to meet the single session requirement.

This rumour has been around for quite a whole already. Surprise that it has not turned into fact yet.
