Hi ,


Anyone know whether HW has parent volunteering?

I'm staying within 2km. i think should belong to group 2C.

Does my kid secure a place? he is registering this year. :roll:

Hi HTCblues,

Yes, HW has parent volunteers - I was one of them. I think this took off in the year they were about to move. PV work was quite competitive in that any work advertised was quickly taken up - but not sure when their kids are registering.

Based on last 2 years' results, I think you may be up against some competition. There were balloting within 1KM under phase 2C - seems like demand for the school had picked up after their move (greater catchment area, plus new facilities).

If you are staying 1-2KM, I strongly encourage you to cater for plan B in case there is balloting within 1KM cos you would not even be eligible to participate in the ballot.

But then, there is always surprises....so if there is no balloting at 2C, I won't be surprised either. All the best!

Hi HTCblues,


For PV you need to register with the school 1 yr before the registering of Pr 1. I’m the PV of HW and my girl is registering for her pr 1 in Yr 2011. Just registered with HW as PV last month and done my first PV yesterday. Need to clock in 40hrs. For form can download fr the sch website.

Typically, PVs are informed of opportunities via email; the first to respond gets the job. So make sure yours is an email address you regularly access.


Try to sign up for those many hours type. So far they have had activities for Mid-autumn night - quite many hours that one.

HTC is too late liao cos she's registering her child this year.

I recall seeing that they update the number of applicants within 1km during registration - so that would help parents assess their chances.

But curious, any reason why you think HW is YOUR school of choice?

Oh no, i'm late.

hquek, no particular reason, my priority is near home and within the distance schools are HW, ACS junior, stamford and farrer park.

Actually, recently we had just decided to try on HW. i feel my kidz require some good character building in someway and his mandarin need to improve too.

What about you?

Simple reason in that it's one of the 'better' schools in the vicinity. I wanted a school with long history cos having come from one such sec school, I think it's quite fun to have something to relate to. And also, the possibility that this school will be around if my kids have their own kids.

i submit the PV form in march but have not got any email since then. Last week i called up the school to enquire. Lucky called up and they informed that there will be excursions. For parents who sent in the form and no reply, do give a call.
