Hi Mummy of 3,


Just write in to the school. If I remember right, you are already late for the 2012 registration.

Its for my DD2 that born in 2007 so still got time... :evil:
Can i know what to write in?
Any sample? Is it take a form from the school? :roll:

When I did PV there, I just sent an email to them. They then called me up and asked me what I would like to contribute and I filled the form in the school itself. Why don't you send the school an email and see if they get back to you, or maybe one of these days just drop in and meet them.


In your case, you can do one or more of the following - Learning Support Programme (reading daily except tuesday from 8:20 - 8:50), recess duties, traffic duty outside the school. If you have the time then the best way to rack up hours is to do chaperone duties - they do quite a bit of learning journeys plus the P1 swimming. It adds up hours real fast. Then there is the P1 registration itself - 3 days can make up almost half your 40 hours.

Mommy of 3, it's still quite early for 2014 intake but no harm writing in first indicating your intention to PV. I did similar to vividlaurel by writing in via email and they called for interview. Typical questions asked on why you choose the school and what kind of PV duties we can offer our time for. As a parent choosing this school, we should be aligned with the school on the use of ICT in its teaching and trust that it will enhance your child's learning.

Dear mummies..


I am a very desperate parent as my child is balloted out from the school of our choice, and currently registered in Kranji Pri Sch. We have not really heard any good reviews abt the school, in fact, more negative comments.

Gosh we are really worried as my gal is our 1st child and she have 2 younger siblings!!

Can anyone advise us on how Beacon Pri is? How is the environment, teachers, school standard, etc?

Pls help

From what I know, Beacon is also full right now, but you can put your name down in the wait list. I am happy with Beacon but I feel that school standards are highly subjective and something that I would be happy with may not be what someone else wants. If you let me know exactly what you want to know, there are quite a few parents around who can help you.

Hi Vividlaurel


Thanks for sharing.

I’m worried coz I read some post abt some students leaving the school after P3. Dont know the real reason though.

BTW, how’s the environment & is there a good selection of food at the canteen? How’s the principle there?

Thanks again.

Hi bigmama,


I don't know why some students have left, but isn't P3 when the GEP tests are done? Maybe they were selected for that and may have left to go to GEP schools. This is just speculation and I do not know for sure.

The principal Ms. Lim is very nice and quite hands-on. I do know that the children write notes to her and she makes it a point to reply to each one of them. The teachers are very passionate about their work and the vice-principals are also very active. The school being a Future School does incorporate a lot of ICT into their curriculum and this is a good thing in my opinion. My children enjoy going to school and to me that is what makes a school! I'm not sure about the canteen since I usually send snacks with my children and they rarely eat in the canteen.
