Hong Wen is also a popular school. Need ballets within 1 km for phase 2C.

do PV

hi SAHM_TAN & hquek,


agree with u gals that it’s the students who determine what kind of school it is…

so far HWS is our first choice of school…
unless DH got last minute changes…

btw, is it a lot of homework in P1 ??
daily or weekly homework ??
it’s very stressful to both parents n kids if P1 already overload with homework…

argh…scary…

Hi, i m new here...


i'm actually a SAHM staying in Toa Payoh...
as i'm not local and DH's old school no longer around..
so no matter which school we apply sure in phase 2C...

PCPS in TPY definitely difficult to get in...
so DH is thinking of HWS coz of its good reputation...
most likely will be registering for PV come this Apr...
btw, my DS is born in 2006, register 2012 for P1 in 2013...

after reading the whole thread...realised that 2010 top score was 260...
sounds good to me...how abt 2009 n 2008 ??

also all the mummies here seems very united and very concerned...
i likey...
and lionheart is PSG from HWS ??
u r very concerned and really listened to us parents...
gambatte...

HWS seems to focus more on chinese...
i like it coz as a chinese, we shouldn't forget our root...
but what abt english ?? it's equally important too...

btw, any school bus to TPY ??

:welcome:

I'm PVing at HWS hoping to get into the school via phase 2B this year. Suggest you check with the school to check if there's a dateline for PV registration this year. It's always better to be safe than sorry. If I'm not wrong, the PV application for PCPS would have been closed by now.

I'm not in HWS system yet, so the rest of your questions, I will leave to other mummies with kids in the school to answer

Hi SAHM_TAN,

i had called the school few weeks ago...
they said register in Apr for the PV
btw, need to go thru any interview for the PV ??

ya, PCPS PV already closed...a bit too early...

Hi ladies,


my DS, born in 2006, suppose to register next year for P1 in 2013..
last month i juz called up the school to check on the PV...
to my surprise, it's already closed for children born in 2006...
that's a bit too early isn't it ??

we stayed within 1km from PC...
but as i'm not a local and DH's old school was long closed down...
so we will definitely be in P2C...

any advice from mummies here whether i should try my luck in P2C ??
is the demand always way greater than the available slots ??

Well, many schools started their PV programme 2 years in advance... Ai Tong and Anderson are some that I heard of. It's slowly becoming a norm I think...

The choice is yours whether to try... and no one knows exactly what kind of situations it will be when the time comes. Demand is definitely going to be more than supply, it's a matter of how much more.... So my advice is keep your options open, source for a few other schools and do some homework in the meantime.

ya, we are now looking into Hong Wen...
though a bit far...but not too far from TPY...
DH said this is his next choice of school after PCPS...

hi, i m a newbie here…


i breastfed both my boi n my gal…

my boi was on BM till he’s 18 months and refused to latch on…
as i’m a SAHM, i didn’t express any EBM…
so i gathered lots of FM samples and let him tried…
he refused every brands of FM…
in the end he only took Hays Dairies Goat Milk…
and till now he still take it…he’s 5yo now…

as for my gal, she’s 2.5yo now and still on BM…
with supplement of Hays Dairies goat milk…
thinking of weaning her off totally but seems like a tough job…
whenever she’s ‘free’ or out of a sudden, she’ll request to latch on…
any idea how can i stop this breastfeeding ??
