Hi there, was wondering :? . i am currently staying in Jurong West and I have applied to do a PV at Henry Park. So far havent heard from them but I know that they will be informing parents in October.


Are they going to consider the house distance as well when they shortlist you to do PV ?

Hi!
I've also submitted my application for PV for Henry Park. Haven't heard from them. Can I check, how did you know that they'll inform parents in October? Thanks in advance.

Hii, I think its the lady who you send the PV form to, I cant remember her name, but i had to email her twice before I heard from her. She told me that shortlisted parents will be informed in October.


Referring to the top posts, I am wondering whether its true that even if you PV at HPPS, you may not get a place for your child there.

Looking at the balloting history, only 2006 required balloting in P2B. But that was the dragon year.

Hence, in a way, you are safe if you qualify to register in P2B. However, things can always change.

Actually, the numbers in the balloting history include grassroot leaders. Perhaps the sentence should be re-phrased as \"unless have 0.01% of sudden surge in the number of Grassroot members\".

Perhaps HPPS does control the number of intake for PV. It is better than to accept many PVs (like what one of the schools in Jurong did), only to disappoint some parents who had performed PV work.

Yes, HPPS does indeed control the number of PV intake. Hence it is not easy to be selected as one. But once u are selected, chances are pretty good.

Hi all,


I have done PV for 16 hours in March 2009 and my girl needs to register P1 next year (2010). I have emailed school for many times but there is no task for me. Will my 16 hours be wasted? :idea: Should I keep approach school for task or should I just sit and wait for task to come to me?

Push the school. Don't wait for them to come back to you for tasks. You have another 24hrs to go before next July, so you don't really have a lot more time.

Which school?
I am facing this problem with JPS and have called up the school several times but there is no task for me.
