Hi, could anyone share the PV application and evaluation process at Nan Chiau Pri? Is it first submit first allocate basis? Worried form maybe misplaced if submit early or miss the window if hold back first. Any situation where there are not much opportunities and hv to race against others to clock the 40 hrs? TIA.

Dear Parents

Could you share if it’s better to submit PV applications earlier and when would NCPS evaluate our application? I’m worried my form would be misplaced but also scared I miss the application period. Any idea how they evaluate, first come first allocate etc. Some posts said hard to fulfill 40 hrs cos competition is stiff or not much opportunities to volunteer to clock their hours. TIA.

Hi, anxious to know if I missed the PV registration for Nan Chiau PS to register kid in 2012. Can anyone share. TIA.

Thanks for explaining hquek.


Can we clarify one point please. If balloting fails at p2b within 1 km, we can still register at p2c within 1 km at TNS or NCPS? I understand proximity between home/sch distance still applies in phase 2c. Or we’ll be relegated to outside 2km because we ‘enjoyed’ proximity in an earlier phase? Thanks.

We’re also scared that in our quest for TNS, we cost our children a place at NCPS.

Dorisp, appreciated your finer points too as we seek to make sense of the system. The neighborhood police post would be rather busy updating addresses. My fear is that they impose some rules and we won’t be able to change in time.

Hi everyone,


I've read through some posts but did not chance upon a similiar post. It's a hybrid between school/home distances and clan associations. Hope forumers can enlighten.

Some background:
1. Would be registering my son for P1 in 2012.
2. Hubby is a SHHK member.
3. Residing and NRIC address is within 1 km of NCPS.

Plan
1. Have a tenanted property within 1 km of TNS and tenancy ends around time of P1 registration.
2. Plan to register at TNS under Phase 2B using this address so that it's within 1 km of TNS. Plan to stay there throughout sons' primary education.

From the posts, we understand we need to register using the address on our NRIC. If we change to TNS address but fail to get a place after balloting, can we:
1. re-register under TNS phase 2C and if there's balloting, we're within 1 km category?
2. quickly change address at police post to NCPS address and register at NPCS under Phase 2C and if there's balloting, we'll be within 1 km category?

If we can't get into TNS, we hope to be able to get into NCPS and continue to reside there. But when do we decide when to change the address on our NRIC? After monitoring the phase 2B in both schools and decided which sch to register? Was thinking to do PV for NCPS and use recommendation for TNS. I won't be the first nor last to think of this but not sure if this is feasible. Does MOE has a pre-registration requirement for us to declare which address to use?

TIA from a vexed Maia.
