To PV experts,


I have a doubt, hope someone can enlighten me through this forum.

Is it true that I should give up being a PV if I stay more than 2km from the school. I hope to get a place into Poi Ching / Temasek, both more than 2km. Which school stand a higher chance? or should I look at other school instead.

Thanks

From past balloting history, u would not need to ballot if u PV in Poi Ching. That is, staying out of 2km will still guarantee u a place if u qualify under 2B.

For Temasek Primary, there was only balloting in 2B for year 2008, and none for the other years.

Hence it seems that Poi Ching has a higher chance to get in without balloting for 2B. However what I said above is all based on past years history, anything can change during the year of ur child's registration.

Hope it helps.

thks to both Luanee & dolphin to share on this info..do hope along the way we get more of such sharing of details..thks..

@wtan: called the sch. the admin mgr said it’s open till next aug. so i guess i just have to wait and see if they will call/email or sms us if we are to go for interview?


sounds weird to me that the application is opened till next year when a PV is required to clock at least 40 hrs?! can someone enlighten me?

Hi to everyone, I am new to this forum. My son is born in march 2007 and currently I am staying at yishun. I will be moving to Tampines st 12 (S’pore 521157) next year March. I have did some research and found that St Hilda’s Primary is a good school. I need advice that do I still need to become a Parent Volunteers (PV) for that school inorder to have a chance in the phase 2B ? Am I too early to ask this question? Pls give advice. Thank you very much for reading.

My home to the school distance is about 1.3km and I need advice that do I still need to become a Parent Volunteers (PV) for that school inorder to have a chance in the phase 2B ? Pls give advice to me as I am lost. Thank you very much for reading.

Hi! I noticed that you managed to find your way to the Tampines schs thread. Did you check out the very first page of that thread? Cos the balloting history is there. Here's the link to the balloting history: http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/tampines

The school I wanted my child to go is less than 1km from my home. I check from SLA website. I am staying at tampines and choice of school are:


1st choice (St Hilda’s Primary), 2nd choice (Gongshang Primary), Chongzheng Primary (this 3 school less than 1km) Poi Ching (1-2km).

hi xiaolong,


St Hilda’s is a popular school, by all means, register early to be PV. It only hurts if you are late. I see some parents completing the required hours way before their child need to register.

Since you are within 1km, chances are quite high - but I remember it’s not so easy (ie may have to ballot) even within 1km.

Just remember that for St hilda’s, phase 2b includes also church members. Your other choices will only have pvs and grassroot leaders.
