Henry Park Primary

Does anyone knows how many PVs are there for this year registration for next year intake?

If I'm not wrong, around 20 PVs. Judging from last year's stats, if 15 grassroots come out and register under 2B then balloting is likely, either for 1-2km or 2km onwards.

But of course, this is merely my own speculation. Won't know how many grassroots pple til after 2B closes. I think will be quite many since GE just passed.

Hi all,


My girl has a confirmed place in HPPS under phase 2A2 but we live quite far from the school in Bishan. Hope to get to know some parents of existing HPPS students here and find out more about the transport arrangements.

Is there any parent who also live in Bishan but with children in HPPS?

I'm the opposite of you. Have a confirmed place in Ai Tong but stay in Clementi. Decided to forego as I feel the travelling is too far.

Good luck with arranging transport for your girl

:yikes: you and GPTeacher can exchange flats... :evil:
Mummyo, if u dun want AT then which sch u want to choose from clementi?

Haha...so where did you place your child?

My mum-in-law lives in Clementi, so my girl can stay over there if need be. My hubby also works in Clementi, so it's actually possible for him to send and bring her home. However, we just want to explore other transportation options in case both can't help in transport.

I’m trying for HPPS at P2B tho it doesn’t look good as only 28 vacancies this year. I’m really torn as Henry Park is my 1st choice but this year’s intake has been reduced and Phase 1 and 2A already has lots of places taken up.

ATS wld have been my 2nd choice but will have to forego the place to try for HPPS. I’ve PV for a year to get into HPPS. I think I’ve clocked at least 80-100hours. If i fail this time then I’ll have to do another year of PV next year for my 2nd child. I feel so tired and discouraged just thinking about it.

After I give up my 2A place at ATS and fail at 2B at HPPS then we will probably end up at Bukit Timah Primary School.

Hi Mummyo,

Until the result is out, you still stand a chance at 2B. So, don't feel discouraged. I admire your persistence in clocking so many hours and will still do so for your 2nd child if need be. I do hope you'll be rewarded for your hard work.

Do share the outcome if it's ok with you. Take care.

I was also baffled cos when I called the school, they told me just nice, no need to ballot. Then I checked MOE website and saw the 30 to 29 thing.

Even if need to, will be >2km. I just managed to scrape through... I live 1-2km from school.

When I was registering the admin told me quite a number of PVs over 2km so I should be safe. :scratchhead:
