Oh... ChiefKiasu, would you happen to have the same report, but at phrase 2c, with no. of vacancy available & no. of applicants applied for it. If you do have it, pls share it with me/us. I've been digging high n low for this report. Ur help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Westgrove phase 2C:
2006: 101 vacancies, 345 applicants
2007: 125 vacancies, 316 applicants
2008: 118 vacancies, 355 applicants

Rulang phase 2C:
2006: 49 vacancies, 174 applicants
2007: 47 vacancies, 162 applicants
2008: 81 vacancies, 154 applicants

Both schools conducted balloting for those staying within 1km in all 3 years for phase 2C. But the no of applicants MOE released on top include those staying out of 1km also (though that should be minimal I guess). So if you want to know how many of the applicants were within 1km, maybe u can call up the schools to ask.

Hi Luanee,

Thank you for the info.
:stupid: Within 1 km already balloting.. And only West Grove and Pioneer Primary is within 1km for me. Any comments about Pioneer Primary School? Saw somewhere in the forum tt the current principal was from Rulang. Is it true?

[WinnieThePooh]

anyone can tell me Xingnan & Juying would it be necessary to work as parents volunteer to guarantee a place ?

Hi Cin,


For distance, call up the school, they will be able to let you know.

You had better hurry, for PV the dateline is 30June if it is not already closed.

Good luck!

You are most welcome, cin. Yes! By 30Jun2009 you gotta be a PV then serve 40 hours within the 1 year means by 30Jun2010. Then the P1 registration is in July 2010 for P1 entering Jan 2011.

If you wanna PV then you really gotta decide fast otherwise you will have to go for your ex-school or try out the scary Phase 2C..

Err.. cin, you can check with MOE if it has your primary school has merged with any other school. If yes, and you can show proof (report card/PSLE results) that you came from that old school you are still considered ex-student..

From the past statistics:

Rulang - you have to be PV, otherwise >1km under 2C - no chance
Jurong Primary - >2km Y2008 no chance but other years OK..
Juying - no problem

You may want to go thru this thread, there were some earlier postings on Jurong Primary..

Anyone doing PV at West Grove ?


Any idea whether there are enough places for everyone who completed 40 hours of PV ?

I just called West Grove, the staff said they do not release the information. It is either balloting or no balloting, which is not helpful at all.

[tankee]

nobody can tell as registration has not started.


PV are not guaranteed places in school. PV just allow you to register your child in phase 2B (1 phase earlier) that’s all.

if there is higher number of applicants than places available, then allocation will be by distance & ballot, as per other phases.
