[quote=\"rachel_liu8\"]I stay near buangkok, and we're 1-2km to both Holy Innocents and Mee Toh, need to go through PV though due to the distance.

Anybody got any advice which school is better academically? I do understand that there're other aspects we have to consider too, just don't want to get a reply commenting academically good doesn't mean the school is good.

Since you need to go through PV, the primary concern won't be \"which school is better academically\". Your first concern would be \"which school will offer you the opportunity to PV\"?

Apply for both schools. The one that offer you would be the better one. That should help you manage your expectations :evil:

Thanks floppy for your reply.
My PV application is accepted in Mee Toh, so I'm thinking if I should still go ahead and apply PV for Holy Innocents.[/quote]There are a number of factors affecting academic standing. School’s role is only one part of the equation. That said, I don’t think the two schools you have shortlisted are that far apart. Plus, both have affiliation to secondary schools which can be a safety net for some people. Since Mee Toh has offered you PV already, why add another level of worry and stress by trying for another.

Compassvale or nan chiau which one better?

Hi, floppy, i never considered affiliated secondary schools, thanks for reminding me. I’m also thinking maybe i will just stick to the first one offered me PV, as the whole application process requires some effort too… thanks for your reply and sharing.

Hello all.... I'm new here.... just signed up only! Nice to know you all.


My daughter is born in 2013 and we're staying in Punggol. My hb want her to be in CHIJ Hougang but talk only no action. Zzzz....

What do we do in order to get my daughter in there?

PS: We're total noob parents and very unfamiliar with the systems. And of course all the abbreviation used here. I guessed PV means Parents Volunteer?

Hi there,

Happy to chance upon your posting. My girl also born in 2013. We are staying in SengKang (>1km < 2km). How far is the school from your house? We are also thinking of registering her for this school. Any reason why your HB wanted this school?

Hi everyone! I’m new to this forum and just starting to read up for my son P1 in 2020. Can I find out if I wish to do PV to qualify for 2B. Does the school take into consideration distance to school for PV? Does one who stays within 1km of the school have a better chance to be selected for PV than one who stays >2km? Thanks in advance!

Depends. There isn’t a standardized policy. Varies from school to school. Some schools need you to be < 1km, others aren’t bothered.

Checking in here! #2 gonna reg in 2019 but my #1 has to register in 2018.


We stay in punggol and there is a new school right beside us but im thinking of leaving that as my last choice in 2c phrase.

I can join other schools in this grc under 2b

But both hubby and my schools are considered not bad.
Hub: Anderson Primary School
Me: Kheng Cheng School

The distance frm punggol to kheng cheng tbh is very far. But it is a rising school. Im not too sure abt anderson though. Hub's been telling me to just take the school right beside us. Cus distance is a concern to him. But i have 2a2 and 2b! Why do i wanna waste it right?

Any advice? Do i really try 2a2, 2b then 2c?

:thankyou:

Hi all, checking in. My DD born in 2013, we are staying in sengkang east, within 1km from mee toh, rivervale and compassvale. May i know what are the chances to get PV from these schools? Do these schools ballot for PV or via interview? My first choice would be meet toh, followed by rivervale and Compassvale.


:thankyou:

The PV application in Mee Toh has already been closed.
For Rivervale, I think it's first come first serve, so you should closely monitor their website and register once it's open.
I'm not sure about Compassvale, but I got a friend who didn't get the PV from the other two schools and managed to get it from Compassvale.

Thanks rachel_liu8, duly noted as i have received the declined letter from mee toh. Checked wih mee toh that they selected the PV via ballot. Too bad, i do not have the luck.
Will try Rivervale then since it's first come first serve, stress though. :nailbite: :nailbite:

Hi all, checking in here.

Son going also born in 2013. got a dilemma, require some input.

we fall under category PHASE 2A(1) for Mee Toh Primary School.
seen mixed review for them now. I still do believe it’s a good school thou. They offer Higher chinese thou not a SAP sch.

Nonetheless, my address is right next to Nan Chiau.

Hence, don’t know whether to try for NC and continue to stay with my odds at MT.


any advise?
