I went and i was so blur, but luckily the Pro-teach teachers are kind enough to bring ALL P1 students around the school and asked them to write their top 3 faviourite CCA in order for them to chose.

hi, if my son gets into HW next year, may consider to put him in e after school care. Can advise what are the Pro-teach charges?

Its $245 per mth.
deposit 1mth refundable
uniform - $10 per tshirt
sleeping bag - $20
miscell $5

you can register during Nov or Dec before your child starts P1 in Jan the nxt yr if u want reserve a place.

:welcome:

I'm PVing at HWS hoping to get into the school via phase 2B this year. Suggest you check with the school to check if there's a dateline for PV registration this year. It's always better to be safe than sorry. If I'm not wrong, the PV application for PCPS would have been closed by now.

I'm not in HWS system yet, so the rest of your questions, I will leave to other mummies with kids in the school to answer

Different schools have different closing dates, I know of another school which has an even earlier dateline then PCPS :lol: . It's something I wanted to feedback to MOE because the MOE website does not state this clearly.

There's no interview, they welcome all who wish to have a chance at phase 2B :lol: . At least this is the situation under the current P.

BTW, you will not find any other infor about PSLE results. It's not publicized

hi my62202, welcome! I'm not sure about the reputation part (just being very honest) but so far, the few short months my DS is in the school, I pretty like much of what I see.

Please always remember that a significant part of school population comes from disadvantaged background - so this will affect the school's scoring in general. I was surprised to learn that not all pupils have cable tv, no computer and even internet connection (though nowadays MOE gives free pc and internet to children from low income) - ok, I very suaku.

I have no regrets about putting DS (1 and later 2) in this school. Sahm_Tan was right, it's up to us to make HWS a good school to be in.

TPY is not too far away, I assume there would be school bus. But note that kids are encouraged to report by 7.10am (for silent reading and other activities).

Hi everyone,


Its my first post in this forum

I am keen on sending my son to Hong Wen Primary, cus its relatively near my house. Since its quite a good school, definately need to ballot, even though we stay nearby.

So the next option is PV !! Just wondering when does HWP accept PV application ? Do we PV only the year before registration?

My son has another 3-4 yrs to P1. I read that some other schools are already accepting PV 3-4 yrs ahead.

Want to research so I will be better prepared, these days so stressful everywhere...Anyone can help ?

Currently is register the year before P1 registration. From my62202, she was told to register in Apr for her DS who will be registering next year. But from what I understand they do accept registeration from parents whose child does not register in the next year. It's just that in the year of registration, only parent whose child will register will be allow for PV.

PV is still relatively new in HWS, so not sure will there be any changes. It's best to check with the school yearly to get the latest news. I'm kiasi in this regard because kenna burnt before :lol: :lol: :lol:

hi footprintz, welcome. Suggest you to call the school if you are not sure. When I joined pv, it was quite free for all. Now they are more stringent in that parents not registering so fast are not given priority, that's what I sense. It's good cos the work and hours then goes to those who are truly in need. I recalled once I had clocked the hours, they told us to give chance.

good luck with your search. Always a good idea to be prepared.
