            If the school need to do PV, then you need to apply for it 1 years before, so now is the correct time to look for the primary school and if I need to do PV. There is a few primary school around my area, so need to also see the school performance and if possible go to their open house.


            After reading through what other parents gone through, I realised this is about the right time to look around πŸ˜„

                Yes PV is parent volunteer, and you will need to do it 1 year before registration, and some school even got too much PV and got rejected. I stay in the north west area. I sent my kid to Montessori school which teaches phonics, so I didn't sent him to other phonic class. Phonics is useful in getting the kid to read at young age. I got a friend child that can read at age 3++ because his kid attended those phonic classes.

                  Hello! Great to exchange notes with parents with similar profile πŸ™‚ ....

                  Phonics - my friend's daughter loves ICR. Unfortunately, my son did not take to it. Thankfully, there's letterland at his childcare. A colleague swears by Lorna Whiston. School - thinking of Ai Tong but I heard you have to ballot even if you are a PV! maybe I'll send my boy to Kuo Chuan Pres instead. Cheers

                    Welcome to KiasuParents.com, sunshine cheerful! It sounds like you stay in Bishan, which is good and bad. Good because you are surrounded by great schools... Bad because nearly ALL the schools that are near you are great schools! Ai Tong and Catholic High are very tough to get in even if you PV, and Kuo Chuan will still require you to be within 2km and ballot in Phase 2C with about a 30% chance of failure.
