[quote=\"dimension\"]hi all

hope to join you guys in a few years as this school is near my place. need to volunteer?
just wondering how do i check which mother tongue language available in hw?

for parents with kids in hw, how are the teachers? are they caring, nice to students?
guess im not the conventionally go for psle kind but i hope my kids to love their school and learning

:welcome:

I'm a parent PVing in HWS.

HWS is a SAP school, so there's only Chinese as MT.

This school is rather popular in the area, there's balloting for phase 2C in recent years. So if you want higher chance then good idea to volunteer.

My kids not in HW yet, so will leave the other questions to other mummies

May I add that under 2B, thus far, there were no balloting required - so all got in - I get the feeling that there are more and more pvs, so it's anyone's guess if there will be balloting in future. As for 2C, there has been balloting within 1KM - so if you are staying outside of 1KM, and only intend to go under 2C, better have a backup plan.[/quote]I was updated that the Huay Kuan had many new applicants this year after Heng Hua(s) knew HWS produced a President Scholar and a SAF oversea Scholar last year. Besides in the recent Alumni function, the Chairman advised that there is an increase of parents signing up Alumni Association lately. On the other hand, a group of around 10 special-interest group PV have just approached me last weekend to help them for 2013- 2014 intake I foresee there will be very few 2C seats in future. Maybe in future only 2B within 1km is safe. The rest of the PV may have to ballot into HWS.

If anyone still think coming to HWS for 2014 thru 2C, i guess Parents have to be realistic with their chances.

For HWS, it is 1.5 year before admission.

Thanks Lionheart for your postings, always a good thing to hear about what we don't normally get to know (eg applicants to huay kuan).

hi dimension, wow, you are early on.

Actually things change from year to year. I strongly encourage that you should call up the school directly to check than rely on this thread for PV procedures. Parents can only give our one sided view which may not be reflective of the situation.

Thanks for the update.. Really hope MOE will approve this soon... So those pupils who is in or those future HWS pupils to be can utilise this facility and benefit from it...

I also can foresee if HWS got their in house swimming pool this school. Getting in to this school is even more and more difficult.
