DaddyDav:

Hi hi...I'm also targetting to get my DD in PC...my DD is born in year 2005...can I start to apply to be a PV in P.C? We will be staying in Bishan which is slightly more than 2km...what is our chance? will we be still in phase 2B if we are accepted as PV?? what is the chance of balloting? Am a very confuse daddy here...thanks for advise in advance...

So you will be registering for P1 next year?? Then you jolly well better call the school and ask if you are too late to apply for PV!

Since you are registering next year, you will need to perform your PV duties from Jul 2010 - Jun 2011...so you may already be too late.

Hi DaddyDav,

Usually parents should write in to the school of choice in January (the year their kids turn 4). Acceptance to be PV take some time for schools to decide and then hours have to be clocked in once selected. Some schools require parents to actively look out for activities to clock time.

If you are chosen to be PV, then you will be under Phase 2B.
Do check out balloting history for Pei Chun. http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/toa-payoh

Sorry, tag along this thread for info. on Maris Stella Primary. I couldnt find it under Hougang or Serangoon. Could any kind souls let me know, I would like to check the statistics for 2009 to gauge my chances for this year’s registration. I’m staying within 1km of Holy Innocent but I prefer Maris Stella becoz it’s an all boys’ school and I’m Catholic, so qualify under Phase 2B, but the school has already cfmd my address is > 2km so maybe need to ballot. Any parents with kids in Maris Stella, is it easy to take public transport from Mt. Vernon to Hougang? TIA!

Maris Stella is actually under Toa Payoh. Please find the balloting history for the school http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/toa-payoh.

Thank you Grandmaster, found it. Seems not so popular, is it becoz of the location? Any parents with kids in Maris Stella and advise me on the following :-


1. available buses to hougang (mrt station is quite to my place).
2. any school bus operating to hougang and kallang area?
3. how is the curriculum? do your kids find it stressful?
4. is it a SAP primary school like Holy Innocent?

went to PC for PV interview. was told by the teacher that the new school pricinple was considering to accept PV as many as 2 x the number of place available. this means that at least half (60)of the PV will not get a place.

Wow if my dd's principal said that to me during the PV interview, I would rather go spend my 40 hours in another school.

I agree with Luanee. 50% rejection rate for Phase 2B?? That is indeed a very nasty situation to be in.. :shock:

during the interview , the vice principal did mentioned to us twice amount…and we hv wrote in a few times to find out whether 60 or 120…but they didn’t reply…haiz…


anybody managed to start pv with peichun already?
i would like to know their system, whether first come first serve by signining up on excel spreadsheet online? or they choose for you…
