MRT-Friendly Option with Innovation & Sports at its Core
Location & Accessibility
Address: 60 Pasir Ris Drive 1 – tucked between Sungei Api-Api park and Pasir Ris Town Park
Transport: Tampines East MRT (DT33) is about a 5-minute walk; dozens of trunk buses (4, 8, 18, 19, 21, 37, 81, etc.) stop within 3 minutes of the gate..
Why parents care: The rare combination of an East-side primary that is genuinely walkable to an MRT station keeps before- and after-CCA logistics simple—especially if both parents work.
Ethos, Vision & Values
PVPS aims to mould “Leaders of Character, championing Service & Excellence,” with a mission “to nurture future-ready students, anchored on values.” parkviewpri.moe.edu.sg
School values (R³ICH)—Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Integrity, Care, Harmony—are woven into assemblies, VIA projects and daily routines, giving the school a strong character-first flavour.
Signature Programmes
ALP – Innovation through Service & Leadership (iSL)
Every child works through the design-thinking cycle to tackle real-world community problems, pitching solutions via prototypes, podcasts or expos.
Why it matters
Builds confident communicators who see innovation as service, not just gadgets.
LLP – Sports Experiential Programme
Broad PE curriculum + tiered sports development; highlights include a PVPS Olympics, P5 residential adventure camp and jump-rope & wushu enrichment in lower grades.
Why it matters
Promotes healthy living, teamwork and leadership through movement.
PVPS leans toward innovation & enterprise + sport/outdoor education rather than a robotics-heavy STEM focus.
CCA Landscape & Achievements
From Hockey, Netball, Football, Wushu & Volleyball to Choir, Guzheng Ensemble, Modern Dance, English Drama & Debate, Infocomm Media and Scouts, students get a broad spread without cut-throat auditions.
Campus Feel & Parent Feedback
Service DNA: The ALP’s “innovation-for-good” theme feeds naturally into VIA and student-led charity drives.
Active Parent-Support Group: Runs reading corners, recess play stations and sports carnivals (regularly featured on the school’s website and socials).
Facilities: Indoor sports hall, eco-gardens, language studios and design-thinking spaces complement the ALP/LLP focus
Parents on neighbourhood forums consistently praise the friendly staff and inclusive class spirit, noting that academic pressure is “moderate but purposeful.”
Things to Weigh Before You Apply
1. Entry certainty vs. prestige
Easy to enter, but PVPS is not a top-10 PSLE brand. Choose it for holistic growth, not league-table status.
2. Programme fit
Ideal for kids who enjoy hands-on innovation & active sports; less suited if your child dreams of competitive robotics or a SAP Chinese-immersion track.
3. No on-site MOE Kindergarten
Families with younger siblings will need an external preschool (nearest MKs are Casuarina & Meridian).
4. After-school logistics
CCAs typically run until ~4 pm; confirm Student-Care Centre availability if both parents work

Academic Profile & P1 Demand
Historic MOE data show zero Phase 2C ballots for PVPS since 2009. For Pasir Ris/Tampines parents who want to avoid the registration lottery, PVPS is a genuine “sure-entry” option—even > 2 km away
