Anyone know Pei Tong need Parent VolunteeR?

No need to be PV.
You might get a place during P2C without balloting.

Hi veteran parents,


I need to find out the balloting history for Nan Hua Pri school.

As I do not understand what the chart is telling me,
can anyone help here?

I have done my PV and location >2km.
What is my chance in Nan Hua?

For P2B, there were a couple of years where balloting was required for those staying > 2 km away from the school, while the other years had vacancies left at the end of P2B.

Hence, it's very difficult to tell. To be safe, you may like to consider moving nearer to the school.

Hi qms,


Moving house is not my consideration.
Moreover, I suppose it’s too late to do that.
I am just wondering that should I give it a
try since I have 2 chances to ballot?
Do you think I should call the principal of
Nan Hua Pri to ask for her opinion?
Hmm…wonder will she entertain me???
Does it mean if I live btw 1-2km I would be safe?

thks

You can always try, but prepare a backup plan. If your child doesn't get into Nan Hua in P2B, there is no chance at all in P2C.

Call the principal? Purpose? While the school controls the number of PVs, nobody will be able to advise you on the number of community leaders who will be eligible to register in P2B. Hence, not sure whether calling the principal will help you much.

Based on past years' statistics, the answer is yes. However, there is no guarantee this year's scenario will be like previous years'.

Yes if u stay out of 2km from NHPS and registering under phase 2C, I would say forget it liao too...


Actually they do accept PVs but they are very very stringent on it. U must prove that u can really contribute to the school and do something they really need before they accept u.

Maybe another way is to try the grassroots leader route which would qualify u under phase 2B too..

Hi hi parents,

Can i know what does it mean by grassroots leader route? thanks!

hi qms,


thanks for replying.
i have checked with principal of Nan Hua, as expected, she said the thing as you and wish me good luck :xedfingers:

She mentioned chances are higher for P2B less than 2km.

Do you know is it too late for me to change address nearer to Nan Hua? any idea what is the quaifying period of this address for P1 registration?

many thanks

Meaning you join the RC/NC and become a community leader.
