hi, i'm a newbie!! So glad that i chance upon this website! A really great resource for parents with kids going to pri sch!


My boy will be in Pri 1 in 2012.
Aiming for HIPS. Any comments/ feedback on this school? Hard to get in?
Going to meet the VP on fri regarding PV.
Any ideas why the VP needs to interview the parents prior to PV? What can i expect?

Is there any difference in chances of getting into the school between someone who does PV but stay more than 1km and someone who does PV AND stay within 1km?

Thanks for taking time to read and reply my post!

If you do PV and complete your PV hours, you will qualify for Phase 2B already. Distance only factors in if there are more applicants than vacancies in Phase 2B, i.e., when balloting occurs. If balloting occurs, the person who has done PV and stays closer to the school will have a higher chance of getting in.

Hi!


I have no idea about HIPS or the PV selection, and hence, can only answer one of your questions. Shall leave the other questions to other experts here.

Definitely! If a school has to go through balloting in P2B, and balloting is for those staying within 1 km, then, the child staying beyond 1 km will not even get a chance to go through balloting.

If balloting is for those staying 1-2 km from the school, then the child staying within 1 km will be guaranteed a place in the school, while the other chidlren staying 1-2 km from the school need to go through balloting.

BTW, you haven't reported at the Newbie thread yet, right? Can you please report there? It's a SOP in KSP.com.

1. So for less than 1 km also need to ballot?
2. I have received news to attend PV briefing. Does it mean I’m selected as PV?
3. For those who attended PV briefing, do you mind share with me some headsup on what to expect?
