Apparently they were the ones who led the school through a lot of progress and won a lot of respect from students and teachers. Was told that the current school leader team is not as dynamic, wonder if that would affect the school achievements? Just thinking aloud.

If your 6 year old K2 son or daughter is a SC living outside 2 km,
there is no guarantee that
he or she can come back safely to Holy Innocent High primary school, in the event of balloted out.
Hence,
need to prepare a backup school in Phase 2B / 2C, just in case.

…
I am deciding which school to go for parent volunteer...
…
I think the question would be:
Have you been accepted as a PV for either school?
Or are you a Catholic or a Methodist?

If you haven’t been accepted, there is nothing to decide. You can only apply to both and hope for an acceptance before you decide.

I am in dilemma now, can seek advise here.
I am staying within 1km from holy innocent. but with the oversubscribed for these few years… I tink my chance is also very low under phase 2B…

Should I try for Paya Lebar Methodist girls which is 1km to 2km for me under phase 2B?

I am deciding which school to go for parent volunteer…


thanks

Hi,
Anyone can advise do we need to be catholic in order to apply PV for HIPS?
If you are catholic, you should be able to get into Phase 2B without doing PV.

Anyone can advise on the chances for phase 2C? I heard it is very competitive every year. I am about 700m away from the school. Any advice?[/quote]
Just try and pray hard. You stand a chance to ballot for under 1km. It is affiliated to the secondary school.

Here is the 2006-2021 review of Holy Innocents (HIPS) P1 registration.

Only 1 year, did HIPS not require balloting in Phase 2C (2016).
In the last 4 years, HIPS did ballot at <1km at between 2 to 3 times the number of remaining places in Phase 2C.
For Phase 2B, it is about the same, balloting at <1km last year in 2021, and >2km in 2019.
So far, it seems like PRs have little chance getting a place in the school .
There was no ballot for that only 1 year as the school shifted temporarily to AMK old ITE site and tiger year usually has fewer babies. That year is lucky year for parents who live more than 2km away to register their children in the school. The children should be in P6 this year. Those lucky children (tiger babies) who live more than 2km away, helped their younger siblings to enter through Phase 1.

can anyone here advise how is Holy Innocents Primary and Secondary compared to PLMGS? the phase 2b for HIPS seem to have increased over the last three years, with this year having balloting within one km. any insights to why the stronger competition?
The stronger competition is probably due to the larger sg50 cohort, with more parents opting for alumni rather than leaving it to chance at phase 2c. There are also 2 new condos within 1km - Riverfront and The Florence which resulted in higher demand.
