Does anyone have any idea how does the selection on PV is done ? The primary school (SHPS) I am interested to send my child to has hundreds of PV applications - only 70 gets shortlisted for further interview . Half of the shortlisted will then get the PV slot. I do not live within 2 KM of the school, neither do I join grassroots or have any affiliations to the school. Is it nearly impossible to get a PV slot ?

I heard that schools normally wanna see how much you can contribute to the schools! But still different schools have different expectation. Perhaps you wanna try asking around and get a feel from someone who had been thur the SHPS selection phase ! Perhaps you wanna study the school past registration statistic to see if you are in phase 2B exceed 2km need balloting? Please bare that in mind that getting a PV slot doesn't mean u definitely get a place in the school; You still need to fight with grassroots leaders and those staying within 2km. PV and Grassroots leaders are the only option that can bring you to phase 2B!
