hi there, :?:

any body know how the St Hilda's PSG choose PV. I heard they need interview the PV before selecting? :!: :?

Hi Joyceling

I heard PV selection in St Hilda's is rather strict because they are too many applicants. I am not sure this is not the only school that conduct interviews for PV. I heard Gongshang does the same as well, just that this year due to H1N1, the meetings/interview has been cancelled.

You may want to call up the schools to find out more on the process to apply for PV.

Hi All,


Any parents can comment about Sakamoto? Does it help in problem solving? Thanks.

Adam Ma:

I'm in between Simei and Bedok. Below is what I can shortlist as read from this forum better schoolls but all outside 1km and inside 2km,


What should be my priority for applying PV?

1. Chongzheng Primary School
2. East Spring Primary School
3. Po Ching
4. Gongshang
5. Yu Neng

I don't opt for Red Swastika and St Hilda 'cos St Hilda is too competitive while my husband is a Christian

Your child is born in which year? If your child is born in 2004, i know Po Ching and Gongshang already closed their PV application. You can try CHongzheng and East Spring. Not sure about Yuneng though.

i know majority of the schools are strictly following the books and not allowing any concession like parent's begging, donation, connections etc. I knew of a friend who tried to resort to one of these methods to place her child in phase 2B but failed. So it is good news to all the parents who spent their time PV and following the proper protocol.

i recently called up a few schools to find out about the vacancies for P1. All replied that this year’s vacancies will remain similar to that of last 2 years, but might reduce 1 or 2 classes next year due to MOE’s plan towards single session.


Each class has 30 students. Meaning vacancies will be reduced by 30 to 60 for next year…

Hi amylqf,


Thanks alot for your advise. It is really helpful.

Hi all, my boy will enter P1 in 2011 and i am trying to decide which school is suitable for him. Can any parents with children studying in Poi Ching share with me about the school?

My boy's mandarin is rather weak and I am worried that Poi Ching's level of standard for Mandarin is too high for him. No doubt it is a good school but i just wanted to find out more from parents' feedback. Thank a mil!
