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.

Hi,


Any parent here know what was their last year PSLE results. I could not find any Hong Wen’s past years PSLE result.

I’m thinking of Hong Wen for my daughter.

AND...make sure they have the right email account - when they first started this, they got my email wrong, so for a time I was wondering why so quiet .

Typically, calls for volunteers are sent via email. interested parties will have to fill in some spreadsheet (my co blocked...I actually have to ask my friends to fill in for me). So give them the email that you ALWAYS access, else :stupid:

Hi hquek,
thanks for the advice. How can the school be so blur to have the wrong email. Can i check with you if you have tried traffic duties? i noticed that the duties are really short (very hard to clock the hours) and if they need alot of parents for this.

dunno, maybe typing error?

Have not tried traffic duties. You should really aim for stuff like mid-autumn festival (usually 4++ hours each time, and if they really hard up, 2 parents can go down together - but can only pray for these). Excursions also good, typically 3-4 hours each time.

Although some of those duties seem very short duration, if these are long running, you have certainty there in that you sure can meet the time. If you have the luxury of time (to wait), then by all means just go for the heavy duty ones. If you are running short of time, better to grab anything you can - even if it's just the little hours type.

Don't worry (though I did). they will have bring the kids out (usually 4 hours). Best was the mid-autumn...8 hours I think. just make sure your email is always on...then can react fast.
