Thank you everyone.


Thanks for sharing my joy.

And to those parents whose kids also got in to your school of choice, congratulation.

This phase of preparing for entry to primary school has ended, but the next phase of the actual journey will soon begin. Come to think of it, it's really tough to be a kiasu parent :roll:

I was rejected for PV at NHPS but my son got in to FMPS also as a PV without balloting for my case after we heard from the school today.

:congrats: to you!

I noticed that registration for Phase 2B at FMPS exceeds the number of vacancies available. Do you know if there will be a ballot for Phase 2B this year? May I also ask if you staying within 1km of FMPS?

My friend is doing PV this year but she's staying more than 2km away. So checking out for her what are her chances of getting in in the event there is ballot for Phase 2B next year.

I'm going for Phase 2c living within 1km of FMPS this year. that my son can get in smoothly.

There is no balloting for those <2km>2km. There will be 49 of them to ballot for 24 remaining places in phase 2B.

Just wondering… seeing most popular schs are balloting from >1KM and >2KM… does it still make sense to do PV for these schools if u are in the same category?

Hi,


I am new Kiansu parent here, so please bear with my newbie question.
My son was born in 2008 and now he is in day care, as a Kiansu parent i want to see how i can help him to secure seat in Rulang school (I think we are within 2KM of school).
My sister in law tried this school for his daughter but failed, even they turned down her volunteer application (i am not sure if she was to late for volunteer request).
Now i am thinking to apply for Parent Volunteer work, Would any kind soul guide me what should i do? What is the procedure?

I will really appreciate all helpful answers.

A new kiasu father.

It would give you the advantage of going one Phase earlier. So if you really like the school but unfortunately get balloted out in Phase 2B, you will still get one more shot at it in Phase 2C..

Personally, I think being PV will allow you to get to know the school, its team and its culture much better too.. so I think it is good..
