Hi All,


Just wanted to say a big congrats to all parents who got their child in. My DD is not registering this year, yet reading all the earlier posts i can sense the pressure and stress of primary registration! All the best to all!

Is PH strict with the selection of PV? When should i start applying for my DD who was born in 2008? Can both set of parents apply separately or its still considered 1 PV?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi Maverick, PH has cut down on the number of PVs, and is therefore more stringent on selection. Either 1 parent will suffice, with contributions of 40 hours, or if both parents are PVs, 20 hours each. Some schools require PV to register 1-3 years in advance. PH is 1 yr in advance.

Thanks for the information. Any advice on how to better chances of being selected as a PV? Looking at the number of spaces this year it does look very competitive.

Had a chat with a friend whose DD is in another SAP sch & realized PH's P1 HCL standard is much higher! For eg, term 2 gotta recite 春晓 唐诗 whereas the other sch HCL poetry is about little rabbits & is much simpler.

I'm surprised to hear this. This yr PH removed moxie for P2 so I thought they lowered the standard oredi.

Also realized that a few other schools do not have Maths spelling/mental sums. Is PH unique in introducing this?

Hi there...I'm a Daddy and newbie here

I'll be giving a shot at PHPP for my DS this coming P2C too for between 1-2km. Hopefully there's still a chance although slim as i believe many <1km and 1-2km kids could have already taken up the vacancies at PHPP and other popular bukit timah pri schools in the earlier phases...cross my fingers. Well I'll be monitoring the 1st 2 days registration first before deciding or just go for my back up plan at BTPS which seems like a pretty decent school academically with good environment which I'm <1km. All the best to us P2C parents!
