I m patting myself on my back bcos I finished reading all 141 pages.


I am curious about why JWPS is so popular this year when they dont seem to do very well academically.
The academical ranking provided by this forum shows JWPS to be right at the bottom.

I am statying at st 93, so only WG, JWPS and JY is within 1km. Thinging of doing PV but yet to decide which school. Xingnan is up & coming but >1km away.
Wat do PV does? What kind of duties? to be performed during school hours?

Hi. JWPS PV sometimes need to help either early in the morning to monitor the morning session pupils at the gate or traffic lights junction. Sometimes, they might ask you to help when the pupils go outing or having some extra programmes in the school

wow! that's many pages! pat on your back indeed! :celebrate:...

Hoho, took me many lunch hours.
I hope I will find some PV duties that require me to do during free time too. Dun mind taking leaving for PV duties too if can clock many hours in 1 session.

shurley,
Hb and I start work really early, thus such morning duties are out for us.
U r doing PV at JWPS? I am still wondering if it is a good school to spend my effort cos their academic ranking is really bad. If WG do not limit the no. of PV and PV runs huge risk of being ballot out, then I think I better not take chance. Thinking of doing PV with XN instead but XN is 1 to 2 km from my home... Worried that it will require balloting too.

Hi.ZuEn. My kids are at JWPS now. To me, the school is so far so good. So far, my kid’s teachers are quite responsible. No school is prefect. Sure has some good or bad comments around.But at least to me, the principal and the teachers will react when you had any problems, they are willingly to help.

Hi shurley,

Icic.. Actually DD is borned in year 2008. I am just being KS. I probably still have 1 to 2 years before I start performing PV. Just wanted to do my homework 1st before deciding where to put my bets. I am a FTWM with 2 kids, so limited time to do PV and dun want to waste my effort.

By the way, anybody noes when will the table on balloting history be updated? Saw that the latest table is for year 2010. But when I look through the history of this thread, I realised that all (WG, JWPS and XN) needs balloting for phase 2B!
I dun want to do PV at XN to end up getting ballot out cos I am 1 -2 km from school. That tiem really can :stupid: . Haha.

Err....the balloting history is already updated.

How could Xingnan have balloting in P2B when it still had vacancy in P2CS? :scratchhead:

Hi, Dear all,


I am thinking of sending my girl into Rulang, but heard is very very hard. :shock: but, just be curious, what exactly are the unique for that school so that so many want their children in? Academic? any one give me more solid reason?

Could be very stressful, right? my girl is kind of shy, I dun know whether she can survive in very stressful place. :? :stupid:

Please, help! I need decide whether go into the painful process of trying to get her in, starting from PV first ~~ :x

Heard from my colleague, kids are given lots of homework.


From my own experience during primary school years, this is probably the most important way to survive but of coz not the only way

and if you think your child cannot survive in a very stressful place, then you'd better place her in a less stressful environment. Kids need competition as well as encouragement and confidence.
