Hi,


I intend to do PV in CHS, however I was wondering what are the areas that they are in need so that I can provide help. Rather then providing all my expertise, I think this can help to reduce the time and effort to go through my application. And giving me a higher chance to be selected for PV.

hmm…


The best answer you can get is to call up the school General Office.

Here is what I know,
1. First you must stay within 1km from the school.
2. Second, be prepare to be ballot against all who qualify for PV phase for just 9 places like last year.
3. Get form from General Office.
4. Fill the form with your best credential, with potential of being call up for PV briefing, not all will be called up.
5. During briefing, they will brief you about some project which school is interested or you can proposed a project which you think the school will be interested. Go to CHS for a walk, all the nice walls and display are mostly work of PV.
6. If you take school proposed project, you will be selected.
7. If you propose project, school interested, you will be called up.

Last year, 1 PV who failed to be balloted for the 9 vancancies during PV phase 2B tried balloting again for the next open phase 2C 9 vancancies and got balloted. your heart will jump out.

The best bet is still the phase before PV which is for the 2A2 when father or brother is old boys or either parents is staff of school.

Yes, Band has morning practises and I think they report at 6.50am, according to a mommy that I know.

Hmmm... any experienced mums or dads who know of a good after school care centre near school? Should have reasonable food and will check and guide boys with their homework type.


Coz this couple of weeks ds has been coming home with quite a lot of homework everyday. I spent hours guiding him with his work and to ensure that he doesn't doze off in the afternoon hours... Looks like the load is getting heavier by the day.

I don't know how to manage this when I go back to work a few months later when my leave ends... If he can only get guidance when I get home like 7 plus in evening, then we'll probably finish at midnight! Mother-in-law is looking after him but know nothing about school work.

Any recommendation? :?:

*faint*

Thanks, but I really wonder the effectiveness of early morning practises.

Well, I'm not sure about band, but ds in CO said he gets to \"touch\" his instrument and practice with it in the morning.
The mommy with ds in band said the teacher told the boys that they are likely to be playing live for morning flag raising ceremonies sometime later!!! :!: Good luck!

Some kids don't practise at all at home, so how to improve, right? So I think the morning practices is to make sure the boys DO practise.
