raysusan,

Any idea if Greenwood accepts PV, and the chances of PVs getting into
the school at phase 2B?
(asking on behalf of stardust_sq)

Thanks to all.in.one for posting my question.

I already staying less than 1 km within Greenwood Primary so wondering if really have to be kiasu! and still need to do PV? I will be registering my son for Primary One - year 2012 intake.

my HB's school closed down already, myself was from a neighbourhood school that is way too far for us to travel now. I am very willing to do PV work, but my only worry is it will all be fruitless if end up balloting in the end.

You should first get an idea of what primary schools are near you, and then find out more about them. The schools will normally hold open houses in June or July... that's when you can go find out more about them.

Unfortunately, most of the popular schools are in the south or east of singapore. Off the top of my head, the better schools in the north in order of preference are:

Surely you can find some in the list that are close to you.

I am thinking of registering my son for Greenwood Primary School. I am staying less than 1 km away from school. Do you think I still need to do PV or risk balloting?
