Wow, am glad to find a Hong Wen thread here.

Hi pq050603, I am also planning to enrol my girl at Hongwen pri in few years time too.

I am also worried like you, as Hong Wen doesnt have any affliated sec sch, another problem yet again.

BUt among the 3 schs at Boon Keng, I think top is still Hong wen lor. I wont prefer her to go Bendemeer Pri, even though is just next to my parents place where i used to live at.

my experience was :

8.55am : Reached the school... illegally parked on the yellow line somemore
9.00am : Went into the school hall, and see tons of parents. Signed in beside DS name and sit down.
9.05am : Principal gave speech. Principal informed that there is a pair of twins, and if they are successful in balloting, they will take up 2 places...
9.15am : Parents took the name slips and passed to teachers-in-charge to be folder and placed into transparent fishbowl.
9.20am : Balloting starts......
9.25am : ...Ng Jordan... !!! Yeah!! (One of the longest 5 mins for me.. :p)
9.30am : Confirm the names on the board... Yes! iT'S THERE!

Quite an 'exciting' event for me...

Congrats to you JordanMummy. Yes you very much described the balloting experience.. It was definitely a nerve wrecking and exciting experience. I was more nervous than when I took my school exams!

All my girl's K2 classmates got in. One of them was the last name called ! Can you imagine how relief the boy's parents must have felt !

Ryes, it's good for you if you can start PV 2 yrs before enrolment, so you don't have to experience all these anxiety...
