All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[kidznme]

Just received an email reply from St Hilda’s. PV application got rejected. After a long pursuit and anxious waiting, just a plain email saying that our application was unsuccessful!


what should i do now?

1. Wait and see if they open for balloting? The seats for 2012 P1 have shrunk tremendously! Chance is slim, I think…

2. Try to other schools? My next choices are Gong Shang or St Anthony’s Canossian. Need to do PV?

Hi all. I am new here. I would like to know if any parents did PV at Raffles Girls' Primary School?


What is the chance of getting into the school under PV phase?

How soon should I register for the PV?

Thank you for the replies.

For 2005, the PV ends in March 2010.
Under Phase 2B, i can say 99% you can get a place for your child.

Hi there, my son was born in 2005. Hub & I applied to work as PVs in Peichun... We submitted the application in Feb 09 and got emailed for an interview with my boy during beginning Dec 09. The application was for 2012 Pri 1 intake.


There were about 120 applications but think only 60+ were selected. The reply from the school was fast. We got selected to work as PVs in end Dec 09.

Now, the thing is... we need to clock 60hrs from point of selection till ard Jun 11. Am unsure if the school will engage our \"services\" soon in order for us to fulfill the no. of hours.

Anyone who got shortlisted, pls share if the school had already contacted you.... or any experienced parent who are already in the PV work can advise approx. when the work will kick start?

Pls email me @ [email protected]

Looking forward to your email. Thanks alot!!!

SCGS is under those schools which do not take in PV. Check here \"List of Pri Schools Do Not Accept PV Application\" http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3232&start=0

For St Hilda's, I believe they will cut classes for 2012 in take since they are aiming to go for single session, so 2012 seats are ard 240 or 210 seats. They are cutting 1 class for 2011 intake (from 300 to 270 seats) this year.

For Gong Shang - you would need to submit your PV form as soon as possible, as for St Anthony's Cannosian - so far understand no PV is required (however I might be wrong since the HOT HOT schools are cutting classes, so the next HOT school might be HOT soon)

Schools are cutting down classes to gear ahead for single session…parents of children in Phase 2C will be more stressed. Starting from this year, children of S’pore Citizens will go for 2 balloting slips.

I guess the other reason why schools are cutting down classes is because there is a drop in birth rate.
