Hi Ling_ling, I am not witching hunting to find out who is at fault here, but looking at the accountability and transparency. The least they can do is to explanation in details and not hide here and there.


Anyway, are you aware of any after school care services around Mee Toh vincity? With all school going single stream, alot of us parent will be affected by the timing and arrangement for our kids after the school ended at 1pm. Any suggestion?

Hi all, allow me to share the facts or info gathered so far.


I try to apply for PV back in 2010, and was given Q46. In Jul 2011, I did not received any info from the school hence I email and call. It seems the admin are not conversant in email but will surely accept you calling in.

Subsequently, I was not accepted for PV after I called them up in late Aug and was encourage to try BSL path. There I go, call up the clan and asked them how to go about doing it. The staff did not mentioned anything about the min membership year but is like more keen to take your contribution and psuh for life member as the refferal letter is much easier to get than those ordinary member (due to some fixed annual meeting). Fair enough, I willingly give to the temple and then ask for the letter in Feb which I submitted to the school by hand.

In end May, when I was told by the sch admin that the school will give me an answer about my application, nothing happened and I have called in again. More delays because she said it will be end of Jun, then changed to early Jul, then mid Jul before P2B start, then a day before the registration is to start, I called in again. She claimed she called me the day before and I told her I have received no such call. Anyway, she mentioned the school comm board has sat many time but undecided whether to conduct balloting in P2B as it was oversubscirbed by 34 pax.

So much for a fairer system in this P1 registration! I told her that if it was to be fair, they should conduct balloting as it is MOE directive to do so when the applications are oversubscribed, same for Nanyang Primary last year where Zoe Tay was not successful in the balloting for his son.

I am not asking than I must get in the sch for my child but this whole system of fairness is crapped and it has to start from the school/clan. A letter of explanation is the least we parents should get for better accountability and transparency if not the future cohorts of PV/RC/Clan will be treated the same way we the unlucky few and many out there are treated.

By the way all schools are going single stream and I realised Mee Toh does not privide after school care service right? Hence might want to drop this school altogether for the lousy admin and poor PR.

I assume those of us who fail are all trying to apply via the clan path?

Collectively we should demand an answer officially as the way I see it, there is unfair treatment for the 3 groups of people under P2B. It seems the school is tilted toward PV first, RC second and the clan last, which contrary MOE’s guideline that all the 3 groups fall under P2B.

Hi Charmaine, we also did not managed to get our girl into Phase 2B via the clan path. Reason given by the admin Mdm Sim was that too many people ply via the clan path but I find it is nothing wrong as I try for PV (queue no 46) but did not get a place hence I went to the other path. MOE has a system in place to do balloting if P2B is over subscribed. But when I mentioned this to her, she said the sch management did not want to upset the PV. Seems like nothing is fair as I though the 3 groupings, PV, RC and Clan/Assoc are on the same level playing field?


Disappointed that she did not call me even though she claimed she did. She must be getting old. I have to call the school yesterday to ask her about my result some more.

Hi, may I check with you what is your queue number for the PV?
