:? huh y sooo early must sign up for PV ???? my son also, in 2005 but now only N2 leh..i thought must do 1 year before right ???

Born in 2005, means P1 in 2012, means register in mid 2011, means start PV in mid 2010, means sign up for PV in end 2009. Some schools dont open PV intake that soon though. Best to call up to ask.

anyway i check with Rulang primary, their registration for PV will close in 30 June this year also…

considering between WG and RL for PV (or even both! if I have the time).

else…Xingnan…

Wat is your views?

FOR RULANG EVERY YEAR ONLY 45 VOLUNTEERS CHOSEN REGARDLESS NO OF APPLICANTS SO FAR SINCE YEAR 2000 ALL PV GOT IN WITHOUT FAIL

PERSONALLY I PREFER XINGNAN TO RULANG EVEN THOUGH I CAN GET IN RULANG THROUGH PHARSE 2A I STILL VOLUNTEER AT XINGNAN
THE CULTURE, TEACHER AND STAFF ONLY ONE WORD TO DESCRIBLE EXCELLENT ALSO IF YOU ARE WORKING STUDENT CARE RIGHT BESIDE TEH SCHOOL

There is no such thing as 'guaranteeing' a place one. All depends on the no. of vacancies vs no. of applicants under phase 2B in the year u register.

But based on past 3 yrs' trend, there was no balloting conducted under phase 2B for Rulang, meaning all PV get in. Do note that the no. of applicants = no. of vacancies (ie. the numbers match exactly) for 2006 and 2007 though. So it is a very thin line u are walking upon. It would help if u are staying within 1km.

hihi,


i am staying:

1) within 1 km from West Grove
2) within 1-2km from Xingnan
3) outside 2km from Rulang

I agree that the culture of the school is very important.
As I believe that character development is much more important than academic achievements.

It seems that I need to do PV if I want to get into either of the school due to the distance and popularity.

Tohwei, what exactly do you do as a PV?
Are you working as well?

West grove 1 km confirm ballot chances 50/50

rulang pv chances much higherwhich year your child

xingnan confirm 100% shall can get

west grove and xingnan give you a list to tick which area to contribute

rulang divide in to 6 ares
eng, chinese, maths,science, admin,operation and cca etc

among all applicants chose only 45

these 45 is selected by 11 personnels in clude principal, vp and hod admin mgr and operations mgr
then job scope is given by them respectively
me working free lance part time basis

xingnan and rulang better for pv because the hours can be easily achieved
west grove due to many pv you can gonna ihr one week for canteen duties
i strongly recommend xingnan or rulang west grove i don;t think much although the principal ms teresa pang is a wonderful lady but i persinaaly prefered xingnan although i am more than 2km

alternatively if you want single session, go for corporation starts at 8am

if i am you, i will apply rulang and xingnan anyway, rulang still got to go for interview in case unsucessful still go xingnan to fall on

west grove if pv not enough slots, priority given to pv staying within ikm first
