...
In the case if my son won the balloting in either 2B or 2C for a seat in HIPS,
what is the chances we could bring over my daughter from XHPS?

You daughter chances of success is independent of your son's balloting.

Hence, it's entirely possible that your son will start his school in HIPS while your daughter will remain in XHPS until a vacancy arises. You will have to be prepared to run around 2 different schools. In addition, when the opportunity to transfer arises, you will have to assess whether it will be in your daughter's best interest to join HIPS given that she has to get used to a new school environment, new friends, HCL, etc.

Thank you very much for the advice/points, floppy.

Hi did any parent did PV at Keming Pri? Is it a compulsory that you will get the letter after the completion of PV to secure a place in Phase 2B? Will distance within 1-2km pull down my chance for PV?

Help. No idea how to prepare the proposal for parent volunteer application. No specific skill to offer.

Everybody has some skills. Don’t put yourself down. As a parent with kids I’m sure you can find some way to relate to kids and engage them even eg storytelling or demo art & craft. Even if too shy you can help decorate the school or sew dance costumes, paint simple stage props for plays etc etc etc.

Hi, how was the interview?? What questions do they ask?

We got accepted, praise the Lord.

They got back to us less than 1 week. The process of the interview was just about 10 mins and here are some of the questions they asked (based on my memory);

- why did we choose RGPS for our daughter
- what area can we contribute (both parent)
- our current job and flexibility in PV (time we have)
- questions on the proposal we submitted

Hope this helps!

Congrats.

Given that there isn't any ballot for RGPS in Phase 2B, I think you are guarantee a place if you can clock the required hours.
