hello, would like to know if we are categories under phase 2B? My kids and I are Catholics. We r looking at either Maris Stella or Catholic High? Both are out of 2km


What r the chances of us entering at phase 2B? Can we register as phase 2B using our baptism certs? TIA!

I believe you're eligible to register under Phase 2B, but I don't think you have a chance to get a seat in Catholic High. You could still join balloting for Maris Stella.

Hi all,


A member of Methodist church to ask if there is any chance of balloting mgs in phase 2b if home address is more than 2km? :scared:

Sorry, no chance. Balloting usually takes place for those <1km in Phase 2B. The lesser popular alternative would be PLMGS.

i also wanna apply but >2km....

[lotsalove]

PLMGS is too far… sighh… no choice

Hi everyone,


I'm new to P1 registration and planning ahead for my little girl for 2018. Kinda Kaisu.. but afraid i missed out deadlines and thus hope to understand the phases better.

We are looking at schools nearest to our home. Holy innocent is around 1.7-1.8km.

For phase 2(B) at the MOE site:

(a) For a child whose parent has joined the primary school as a parent volunteer not later than 1 July 2015 and has given at least 40 hours of voluntary service to the school by 30 June 2016

(b) For a child whose parent is a member endorsed by the church / clan directly connected with the primary school

(c) For a child whose parent is endorsed as an active community leader

QNS: 1) Do we need to be a,b,c all of the above to get into 2(B)? We are not Catholic member or active community leaders..

2) what do we do as parent volunteers? and how do they clock the hours?

Thank you in advanced from replies from experienced parents

Dear parents … any idea the chance of getting into Holy Innocent at 2B phrase > 2km? and also where is the school currently at now

No, you only need to be a, b or c to qualify.

Depends on the school. Some schools need traffic wardens. So you will be in school for perhaps half an hour each morning to direct the traffic that is going into the school. With this, you clock half an hour each day. Some schools need parents to accompany students on their learning journeys. The number of hours clocked here depends on the nature of the trip, etc.

Hi qms,


Thank u for ur reply Do u know if chances are higher if you are a and b? E.g Catholic and also a parent volunteer or just being pv only will still have equal chances? If e.g there's 50 places left in 2B, and there are 60 pp apply 2B. Two scenario: 1) Some are pv but not Catholic but lives less than 2km, and with those who are both a and b but lives more than 2km, who will get the 50 slots? 2) All 60 pp lives within 2km but there are some who are also Catholic and pv, who gets better chances or just being either a or b is enough?

there is.no distinction made even if you are a,b and c during registration. however some have suggested that if you have been a consistent pv and failed to enroll during phase 2b, the school may be able to put you higher in the queue for transfer application. note the keyword is may.

Hi everyone, am looking to join the Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan as a volunteer, hoping to get a recommendation letter to P1 registration in 2018 for my girl. But understand will require 2 sponsors signature to join. Can anyone here kindly help?

[Adelineahmei]

Hi hquek,


Thank you. I see. Great to hear there’s no indiction. I hope I will able to get my elder daughter in because that’s the nearest school. If she manage to get in, will be easier for my next child to get in too. Hopefully the school will be back in Hougang in 2019. finger crossed. Does anyone know whether we need to queue up early in the morning for HIPS to get register as volunteer? Heard other school that this is happening and there’s limited slots. Any idea how HIPS screen for pv? Is pv also always over subscribed?
