Hi Nixtang,
Since you are within 1km, chances are high but you probably will still need to ballot (per past history). I really don’t know why the stats this year is so competitive.
Guess other factors you will have to consider are that :
1. SMPS has affiliation so psle may not be as stressed.
2. distance from your place - how convenient to go to & fro (not just numbers but also the actual logistics).
3. do you have a ds going to school in future.
Academic wise I understand both are about the same. The one edge I see hws has is that it’s chinese-centric, so if you are keen on inculcating chinese culture in your child, hws will be the better place.
a lot of choices and more nailbiting (a friend got in this week via balloting in 2B - I can’t imagine the stress). All the best to you and your child! -
hey learningparents,
Sorry to hear about the balloting bit. yes, time to kick plan B into action. Assume you should have submitted your waitlist application? I would suggest to include a beautiful letter why you want your child to be in HWS; or if your child has special talents also can include. I don’t have much experience in this, those who have, appreciate your inputs so we can all learn.
All the best to you and your child! -
Thx for advice; had called hws to clarify the waiting list process too.will reg after pase 2c only. Shall prepare a short letter to support too.
Appreciate !
Chances is higher at p3 as class size is bigger -

Actually by P3, will you still want to move your child out unless it’s GEP?
After 1 year in the school, my kid had already formed friendship bonds etc and he won’t want me to move him anywhere. -
shall see how; as really want them to learn more about our chinese culture/value. belief SAP school will do more in chinese

interestingly, the same reason for getting into these old, traditional schools is for the chinese culture/values and beliefs, hoping that it will do more good to our pampered kids.
nan chiau is 1-2km from my place and out of reach now.
hongwen, my boy can go in as 2A2 in next yr registration, but it is 10.6km from my place..
headache.

1. anyone can update on HWS status at 2C? how many in 1km? although no chance at from past years, still wait for 奇迹 before submit at sub school
2.wow, 10.6km is very far then, not sure how long the travel dist. but one pv from HWS also gave up HWS and register and Nan chiau, travel for an hour from home to school and another hour back to work lor…so, really depends on parent ; think and count the time too for the kids to travel before we decide to put them in our "ideal" school
i chosed hws as all schools are within 1 to 2km except bendemeer
