Another question for Learningparents. How many PVs does HWS take in each year? Do they cap the PV applicants? What are their criteria when choosing PVs?

Thanks thanks

When I PVed in 2010/2011 for 2011 P1 registration for 2012 P1 intake, there was no selection criteria. I’m not sure will there be in the coming years if HW gain in popularity. I think best to check with the school when you wish to apply as PV.

The school is single session. All levels are in morning session.

Students to report to school by 7.15 am becos there are assembly activities but will be fine as long as is in school before 7.25am.

Just went moe website to kp. Wah, this year HWS is hot. Wonder if this is harbinger of things to come. There probably many factors at play though. Jia you HWS!

I thought P2C has always been so?

Hi SAHM TAN

Thks for the info

[Learningparents]

Sigh, wrote a long comments but hang and all gone.

1.no criteria for pv; think they take abt 60; think not based on number but based on cut off date.
2.from past years, can see that ballot is required for pv starting from tis year and i think it will discourage 1-2km to apply as pv.
if i were the paretns now, will think twice before applying; as heart pain really with all efforts and time gone. (though already know it no guarantee for the seat)
3. btw, had also provided feedback to principal when i went for registration at 2b on 7/20; suggestd if they want to set some criteria for pvs, and might even share with pvs before hand that from past exp, 1-2km, really stand a lower chance.
As from this year can see, 90% are taken up by SC PV within 1km.
If i fail in ballot for 1-2; dont even have chance to try 2c.

4. will have to register at other school today; most likely geylang methodist which is also 1-2km for us, just hope that have chance to ballot.

Good luck learningparents in your P2C.

Thanks for your lengthy reply, Learningparents. And all the best to your Phase 2C application!!


I know some schools have selection criteria for PV, and I seriously think that HWS should start considering so! 60 PVs is a lot! Some schools only pick ~20 as they want to ensure as high a chance as possible for parents who put in time & effort in the activities.
Btw, is there such thing as ‘wait list’ for HWS? Learningparents can request?
