Phase 2B in ACS

Phase 2A2 in St Anthony Primary

But I am staying out of 2km of ACS.

Which one should i choose? Please Help!!!! Should i move with in 1km of ACS to get him to P2B? :?:

i recommend moving within 1 km of acs...for a sure thing. i think there is little or no chance outside 2 km for acs. go to the kiasuparents homepage to check

hi there,


My DD is 5 years and will be enrolling for P1 in 2011.

Option 1 - Kuo Chuan (KCPPS)
Option 2 - River vally primary

Option 1 - Within 1-2Km

Option 2 - Her daddy is from River valley primary.

Would like to know about both these schools..

Which school should I opt for?

I wanted to try Pei Chun but it is out of 2km, and no PV. Think my chance of getting it is slim.

kcpps and river valley are so far apart. are you willing to move near to RV?
within 1-2km of kcpps probably needs balloting based on past years pattern.

me too.. my girl .. will start P1 in 2012


I'm doing PV in 2 school
Compassvale ...still have half and a hour to complete
Rivervale ---- total 8.5 hours still short of 22.5 and one project.

Very stress...

can you tell me how doing PV at 2 schools works? We can only register in 1 school at each time right? so you'll be under phase 2B for each school and can only register your child for 1 school ?

You are right! You can only register with one school at any point in time.

However, if you PV for two schools, you actually have more flexibility in choosing which school to register with. If you feel your child has a higher chance of getting into School A vs School B, you will be able to register with School A, since you are a PV of both schools. Subsequently, before P2B ends, if you think you want to switch to School B, you only need to withdraw your application with School A and apply with School B. For parents who are PV in one school only, there is no such flexibility.

Yes, if schools accept your PV application, you can do PV in multiple schools and decide which which school you would like your child to be in...esp if chances of getting into those schools are high.

Of course, provided you have the time.

Thanks for all the replies! I 'm staying within 1-2 km of pei hwa but would prefer my DS to go to Henry Park which is >2pm away. no offense , simply only cos the Chinese standard in Pei Hwa is really high.


If I PV at both schools, assuming they accept us, can I try for Henry Park then Pei Hwa as a back up? Will we be in time? Cos the registration at Pei Hwa under the same phase would be over by then right? Or I can only look at the number of places left after phase 2A at each school and bet my odds?

hi kylene


For the past few years, there were no balloting for Henry Park under phase 2B. But I recall reading that it is quite difficult to get selected as PV for Henry Park.

Good Luck !

Hmm... the surer thing is St. Anthony Primary in P2A2. If moving within 1km of ACS is not a prob, then do so, but register at St Anthony first, as an insurance against possible balloting within 1km at ACS, which could happen.
