Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary

Smalltou:

FQW - oic. Thanks. Coz when I called to enquire, the school told me they still have vacancies but there was no application form to be filled and I was told to just email my child's particulars and mailing address to the school generic email. plan b is to move within 1 km n try my luck? wise move?

Pei Hwa has a history of balloting within 1 km except for 2003 babies.
So moving within 1km will only increase yoru chances but it is still not 100%.

Trap - yup, I also noticed. My initial plan was to do pv AND move but since the pv thing seems to be closed I guess I will relook my options too.. Thanks for a advise

Sorry I'm mistaken but that will be good news to you. I think PV (for 2007 kids) may still be opened.

Even after submitting your particulars thru email, it's good to ring the GO periodically to 'remind' them of your application. As a reference, I got the call from the GO only in late Sept for the year I volunteered.

FQW - thanks for e info! Do u mind me asking if u had to fill on any application form or "proposal"? They just asked my hb to send in my child’s particulars, ie dob and mailing address. Was wondering how they would decide based on tt and whether I sld write a short note on how I can contribute? Also wld u know which area phpps usually needs pv in? Hee… Sorry for e questions.

I recalled I needed to submit an apln letter (quite a lengthy one) in which I wrote on topics like 'How I spend time with my child', 'Why do I wish to PV in PH', 'What can I contribute in terms of PV' and some other things which I can't remember now.

I know that sch is conservative in accepting PV due to uncertainty in total number of P2B applicants, so success rate was almost 1-in-8 or thereabouts during my time.

Most PVs I know ended up being the hands-and-legs for the teachers such as manning stores during Sports Fest, helping out in library etc. Nothing so atas that the average Joe can't do.

Hi drickymummy,

He will be heavily penalized if handwriting is ugly or illegible. Told him many many times...examiner will mark wrong if answer is questionable :stompfeet:
My cane is used when kids tell lies, rude and throw tantrums.

That is exactly wat I told Ds too! Not worth losing marks over terrible handwritings.. Now worse for him cos daily work which includes neatness is part of his grades!

Hey FWQ,
No patience also have to be patient...own kids mah. I play 'taiji' when it comes to Math though. Nothing to do with patience but my lack of interest.

Err janet, who is FWQ? New member? :siam:

drickymummy:

Having wars in my house is a regular thing but I never spank my Ds cos my sch work.....

Whoa drickymummy, you are scarier than Scary. She only spanks because of her son's sch work, but you spank because of your sch work? PH mummies can be a scary lot! :scared:

Aiyo! typo mistakes lah...I mean becos of his sch work!

P1 parent reporting here!


So fast it's April liao! Term 1 honeymoon has passed swiftly & sweetly. Term 2's holistic assessment has almost swept me off my feet. Every week (starting from week 2) has some mini tests, either listening, 朗读唐诗, poetry recitation, Chinese show & tell, spelling, 听写... *gasp*

Oh yes, I think the Chinese show&tell is the killer. Btw anyone has any exemplary show&tell samples to share? Need some inspiration for this Mommy here to craft the speech

At least u got Place for PV then..I applied for PV 2 yrs earlier than the rest, moved within 1 km but was rejected for PV without given reasons or at least a chance for me to appeal.. Lucky we still got in for within 1km..

Hope that they can make full use of PV cos they can do alot for the sch if only sch can open up to parents. Let pv help direct traffic before n after sch rather than having a MO or a teacher wasting their time doing such a duty on daily basis.. If a PTA can help raise millions for the sch, isn't it a waste not to tap on such resources?

It should be FWQ since he is always bullying me :evil:

Typo errors do occur lah, right ?

Hi Smalltou,
Kids born in 2003 are the luckiest...no balloting within 1km. That was SARS year. Even with SC getting priority now, no one knows how many Singaporeans stay within 1km.
Keep your options open.
