Dear mummies (and possibly daddies)...


Anyone of you keen to do PV at West Grove for your kids?
My son is born in year 2005, for PV at West Grove, we have to register by 30 June this year.

Alternatively, I am thinking of Xingnan as another option...as it seems as a quite decent school.

My friends told me that foundation studies is very important so I am really stress out on which school to choose!

[chixchix]

Born in 2005, means P1 in 2012, means register in mid 2011, means start PV in mid 2010, means sign up for PV in end 2009. Some schools dont open PV intake that soon though. Best to call up to ask.

Haha…sorry for the confusion…my son is born in the year 2004…


anyway i check with Rulang primary, their registration for PV will close in 30 June this year also…

considering between WG and RL for PV (or even both! if I have the time).

else…Xingnan…

Wat is your views?

FOR RULANG EVERY YEAR ONLY 45 VOLUNTEERS CHOSEN REGARDLESS NO OF APPLICANTS SO FAR SINCE YEAR 2000 ALL PV GOT IN WITHOUT FAIL

PERSONALLY I PREFER XINGNAN TO RULANG EVEN THOUGH I CAN GET IN RULANG THROUGH PHARSE 2A I STILL VOLUNTEER AT XINGNAN
THE CULTURE, TEACHER AND STAFF ONLY ONE WORD TO DESCRIBLE EXCELLENT ALSO IF YOU ARE WORKING STUDENT CARE RIGHT BESIDE TEH SCHOOL

There is no such thing as 'guaranteeing' a place one. All depends on the no. of vacancies vs no. of applicants under phase 2B in the year u register.

But based on past 3 yrs' trend, there was no balloting conducted under phase 2B for Rulang, meaning all PV get in. Do note that the no. of applicants = no. of vacancies (ie. the numbers match exactly) for 2006 and 2007 though. So it is a very thin line u are walking upon. It would help if u are staying within 1km.
