We wont be moving anywhere near the school of choice. Within 1km may also need to ballot, plus we love our place in AMK. Im continuing PV for now...till other options come along. Besides, the children im working with in the PV sch are great kids!!

Great philosophy. More important things in life than to uproot whole families for a shot at a 'coveted' school.

while CHS has many clansmen in the name and form of Catholics.


lol

ya, and my children are catholics too and we cant even be sure of getting them into catholic schools near my place! What's going on? In my case it's totally hopeless whether i register under PV phase 2B or Catholic Phase 2B!

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.

Even can change sch for PV... u still have to worry whether you can complete the hours...
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!
