Just a thought (no offends to anyone)…As CHS has been going to ballot under phase 2B for the past few years, for those <1km, perhaps CHS could consider doing away with PV, like De La Salle, no point, making these PVs put in hours of hardwork but disappointed when they fail to secure at the end.

I totally agred with that! why ask for PV when the seats are not even enough? are they hoping for less catholic or less community leaders? I dun understand lor.


anyway, I think we are staying put at SJIJ, dun want to go thru balloting.

its kind of 你情我愿, school also hope to gain from the work of PVs, sad to say PV work dont just end there, if your child get thru balloting, pvs could be asked to return to do 'maintenance' wrk to their project on ad-hoc basis. i personally kn some pvs doing that.

Plus Point- the psle cut off point for their sec is 235 this year (if im not wrong), just incase your child only get 1pt below the cut-off and if you are a pv who comply to school 'recall', mayb sch will be more willing to help.

Hi, may I know, for balloting, will it be done openly or the computer will do the balloting?

It has to be done openly, and manually, in case people cry foul.

Hi Smurf! My boy is also staying put at SJIJ. Kind of concern about standard of school. Heard that their highest PSLE score was only 266.

Hey Ginger,


you receive the letter already?? I just received it...maybe our boys would be classmates! hahah.

it's ok lah, at least SJI (not junior) is very good...many ministers are from there...hahah...just have to train your boy to study hard hard lor...:)

I think it all depends on the child also lah sometimes, if my boy qualifies to go CHS, maybe he can't take the stress leh?? (just have to think it this way) I rather he enjoys going to school than to drag going to school!

what would you do in this situation:

- eligible for ATS due to clan association. Live within 1 km but still need balloting.
- also eligible for KCPPS. guaranteed seat because did PV work.
take a chance at ATS or KCP? HELP!

I believe when the parents signed up as pv, they know it is not guarantee. I am sure there are children going Chs via pv. If do away with pv, it will not be fair to those non-catholic students.

are u registering your kids this year? if you are living 1km of ATS and is a member of clan association, shd have very high chance of getting in during phase 2b,since balloting are for those living 1-2km.
