According to my friend who called the school she says at least 50 staying within 1km. Most likely no chance for those staying 1-2km

Hmm..i guess KH 2C is not as tedious fight as 2b !! Should be a piece of good news to those in 2C 1km applicants!

Hi all, just came back from Kong Hwa n there r already 78 applicants, all within 1km to ballot for 47 seats.

Met parents who are volunteers at KH and didn’t managed to get in to the school during Phase 2B. I feel for them. Now… i understand that parent volunteers go in with their eyes wide open knowing that at the end of the day there is no guarantee of a place. Fair.


However i also feel that the school has a responsibility to cap the number of parent volunteers that they take in each year. Some schools have 40+ places for Phase 2B and their volunteer numbers are almost double that number!!!

Now you may say that the school cannot tell exactly how many places there will be at different phases from year to year - i totally disagree with that! Even Kiasuparents.com can come up with highly accurate statistics annually. Schools will roughly know the numbers - and taking in so many PVs over what is historically limited spaces just tells me that the school don’t care about the welfare of their VOLUNTEERS and just treat them as free hands and legs. In short they don’t have a sound volunteer management system.

MOE should really address this.

Maybe Kong Hwa can increase one more pri 1 class.previously their intake for primary one is about 300++.

There are more property within 1km Kong hwa now.

Totally agree. At 2B, parent volunteers are also fighting with grassroot leaders and Hokkien HK members. They should take these numbers into consideration too. No longer a guaranteed place at 2B.
