Hello Alng,


I have tried to surf the neighbourhood school website, really sad to say that not all school have this wait list form. So sorry if I sound so anxious, just planning my paths on Wat to do should I'm not successfully succeed in registering my child in the desired school.

Really thank you so much for sharing with me in great details in your experiences and advise!

Hi rainn_77, I have pm-ed you. You can try asking for the form from the school.

Yes, go to your desired school, fill up the form and submit on the spot.

Hello Alng,


Thank you so much for the link! now at least I know what is my backup plan should I can't get into the desired Sch. At least by filling up the wait list form, it's gives me additional hope!

Dear rainn_77


No worries, I have benefitted a lot from this forum, and we are all here to help one another. I'm also learning myself cos' I have a DD going to P1 in 2014 as well

As to PV being like job hunting, it's not exactly uncommon, for myself, on top of filling up an application form, I had to draft a proposal on what areas I can contribute to the school. I still got rejected by the school anyway :sad: , but thank goodness I was accepted as a PV by another school . Like Lilfeets had mentioned, it'll be good to send in your application to the various schools you are considering, so as to be able top give yourself more options for PV.

One of the factors you may like to consider is the balloting history of the schools as well. Some schools require balloting at Phase 2B already, so if you are not within the 1km range, chances are, even if you clock in more than the stipulated number of PV hours (do note for some schools, it's more than 40 hours), it's not a 100% guarantee you will get into the school. But from the looks of this year's registration, the 4 schools that you have shortlisted are not over-subscribed at Phase 2B, so if you are able to secure PV for either of the 4 schools, and clock the hours required, your chances should be quite safe.

Hi, if that's the case, is it better to be staying within 1km when applying for pv at the desired sch?

Hello Barbiemoney,


May I know your child is born in what year? I’m also hesitating whether to apply for Pasir Ris or Chongzheng Pri PV…
