But xinxin, if your children are catholics, you already qualify for Phase 2B, why do you need to do PV ? Does PV + Catholic qualify you for earlier phases ? If not, why don't you re-direct your PV efforts to other schools ?

I decided on a school first, which happens to be very near my parents' place. And tat school is not a catholic school. My mum can help me look after the kids after sch when me and hb are at work. Thats the pri reason why i chose to pv in that school.

I also qualify under catholic phase 2B if i decide to enrol children in Catholic schools. But i didnt choose to pv in those schools cos even the nearer catholic schools are still more than 1km from where i stay. Sigh!!

But being both a pv and a catholic certainly does not qualify me for an earlier phase.

Redirect? But think most schools hv closed applications by now...

There is more flex than you think. No harm making a call.

Hope for the best I guess...

Hi,

am a new to this whole P1 registration thing.
my son is born in 2006 and I live near SAJS. Some parents have told me that since it’s a very popular school, i should consider registering as a PV even though we’re <1km away to get into 2B
is it necessary?
also, am looking at MSHS which we’re >2km away.
are parents allowed to do PV at 2 schools?
and how will the registration work when the time comes?
don’t think we can register for 2 schools, right?

thanks!

PV at SAJS for Phase 2B will be better chance. Phase 2C needs to ballot for <1km.
MSH more than 2km stands little chance at Phase 2C, so u will need to PV to have a chance at 2B (this year had to ballot).

If you have loads of time, then feel free to PV at both. Or you can do RC so you can choose any school at Phase 2B. You also need to consider travel time and the religious values at both schools - SA is anglican and MS is Catholic. You ok for either?

Wow…finally finished reading all pages in this thread.


Seems like it’s difficult to apply for PV in Rulang. Btw, anyone has done PV in Rulang & WG before. Can share how’s the duties like?
