IMHO, wait for your PV approval then go for the PV briefing to determine how many PVs are taken and what is the distance breakdown (if they would disclose). By then, you would also know the over-subscription rate of this
year's Phase 2C for all 3 schools and should be able to gauge your chances slightly better.

Even if you know the number of PV, you will probably not know the number of grassroot volunteers competing under same phase as PV. Still :stupid:

agree. Hence, I only indicated 'slightly'...

Another unknown factor is whether MOE/school will ask for 1 more class reduction in 2012!! :scared:

Hi, does anyone know how many GRL applied in Phase 2B for West Grove for this year’s P1 registration?


My DS1 will need to register for P1 in 2yrs time, do we need to ask the school for application of PV now or end of the yr?

To some parents, they devoted more time to help their children to cope with the upcoming sch life instead of struggling about fighting for PV etc. Like my neighbour's DD, really a good boy, very Guai and like to read or study. He is in boon lay garden pri sch, and happy about that. while my girl, the totally different type, need to be pushed a lot to 写字 :oops:


will definitely wait for the results for PV of RL, see how. if not get, also feel relieved, not my problem liao mah, exempted from struggling-for-RL then

if RL restrict the PV number further down, the competition will be even tough liao, now already 300+ applicants?

Best to check with the school after this P1 registration period, just in case they have a change in the processes..

nolah, doesn't mean devote time for PV then can't devote time to help them prepare for P1 mah

actually can be quite the opposite due to the kiasu-drive

sometimes, we also got to consider if a specific school is ideal for the character of our child..

at least, I've not heard that not enough jobs for PVs in RL and don't need to fight for jobs one..

300+??! :faint:

[bingjun.038257g]

How do u know which sch fit for our child leh? The top sch shd hv much more pressure for the child, my girl is kind of shy and doing thing slow, maybe not fit her. hehe, actually she likes to play only~


Heard from the vice P of RL during the PV interview, said the applicant should be over 300+? I am the 270+


Nowadays it is more and more tough to be parents :stupid: struggling to get PV, at least 40 precious hours, work with and support and love our child thru the sch years... :scared:

Rulang, Shuqun and West Grove are already balloting. No point wasting time. I am worried because I was banking on Frontier Pri. The school filled 227 out of 235. They will go balloting tomorrow. Grief!

[Willow]

yeah…i got a shock too…the new school was one of my backup plan…didnt realise it is going to be so popular…

[ish]

I am shocked to see 227 registrations for Frontier today. Is this a record high for single day registration?
