hquek:

I know some who finished 40 hours 3 years before the kid is due (super cheong for 1 year only). :udawoman:

can i say a school requiring 60 or more PV will always be a good school? :? as PV hours serves a good demand indicator....

This question is very subjective. Maybe you can post the school name here and I'm sure you will get some feedback.

it all depends on location

take for example, South View in Choa Chu Kang, the demand is white hot, versus TNS in Marine Parade, may be red hot only.....

is it becoz it is more densely populated in CCK and there are more good schools to choose in the East?

if I am not wrong, South View produced a PSLE top student in recent years, whereas TNS only has students doing well (but not top).

I did contribute over 60hrs PV to the school my ds is in. at that time, only a few school required 60 hrs when 40hrs was a norm....now i am becoming more and more regretful over the choice i made. however, the school is still very hot... think perhaps it is the location issue....

really suggest parents to compare more schools and make thoughtful decisions, thus make the 60/80 hrs more worth......not like me leh... :stupid:

Hi Hyperkiasu

Can I know if there r any parents doing PV at red swastika pri sch? How early do I have to call up the school to register as a PV?

You should call the school when your child is N2 and start PV during K1. K2 Jun/Jul is the registration.

so…, what do we really need to do first? I am wondering which school should I send my boy to in one years time.


should i call up schools now? oh man…
