Yes, registeration for P1 in 2010...me too staying within 2km...hopefully dont need to ballot base on HIPS past history. Pray & cross our fingers history repeats! Yup, we may bump into each other... Once we starts our Volunteer works, we give each other a ring then perhaps we can recognise each other :celebrate:[/quote]Hi,

Mine not HIPS but nonetheless... they asked what aspect can u contribute to the school, and may talk about certain areas they need u to PV in. Whether u can contribute beyond 40 hours, and how u intend to PV if u are a FTWM.

Hi,

I'm a newbie in this thread

we are considering moving to Location X of which the nearest school requires balloting. we are considering moving there only sometime nearer to the P1 registration date.

My enquiries are...
- in applying to do pv, will the school consider the home address distance as part of pv selection criteria?
- is a PV form the same as a PSG form?

Jedamum, I thot u are a grandmaster? No??? LOL....

Anyway I believe some schs do consider ur address as part of pv selection, esp for those more popular ones, as they do not want those staying too far to be unsuccessful if need to ballot. If u are planning to move, pls indicate somewhere in ur pv application form/letter that u are doing so.

PV and PSG forms are not the same. I believe the latter is for those parents with existing students in the school. If u are not sure, it be best to call up the school to get the correct form.

You PV-ing for your 2nd son? Your elder one is in P1 this year, right?

Anyway, I think different schools have different sets of selection criteria. Some do consider distance from school, while at least I know, it doesn't seem to be the case for Nanyang. For last year's batch, there were a number of PVs who stays outside 2km, there's one who stay as far as Khatib.

Again, PV form differs with the different schools. Some don't even need PV forms, where you'll just need to write in.

Since you already have a school in mind, perhaps you could share the name, and parents who'd previously done PV in the school will be able to shed more light :-).
