Hi all,


Does any one know how many PVs does Rosyth take in this year for 2016's registration? If not, usually how many PVs are selected yearly? Thanks in advance...

I think you have missed the boat already according to MOE's guidelines..But no harm trying to ask the school, may be you got skills that they would want?

Hi, can anyone share with me on Pei Hwa PV experience? I m considering between Pei Hwa and south view.

Is it true pei Hwa results slacken recent years?

Is there anyone who applied PV to Nan Hua this year?

We have signed up under clan and as PV for a clan affiliated school past 2 years.

During the sign up orientatiion, the facilitator mentioned in order to get referal letter we have to perform volunteer work either in school / clan.
Last year we were shortlisted for PV introduce under clan by clocking abt 60 hours being a traffic warden every morning from 7:00am to 7:45am and rushing to work after the session.
We have always hope that our children can study in this school.
During the phase 2B balloting process, we realise that many of our friends got the referal letter without performing any volunteering work either clan / school.
We are very upset and feel cheated. We try to seek clarification from clan but the ppl seems pushing around to school. In my opinion this has nothing relates to school / moe ballot system ans its purely ethics issues.
I hope that my experince be shared with parents to avoid the same situation as us.

Hi, am surprised to know that pple can get phase 2B letter wirhout clan or volunteer. This is not fair to those that volunteeted. Do u know how they get the referal letter?

What she claimed was clan issued letters to certain clan member(s) that had not volunteered at clan or school

that's very unfair to you...having to volunteer time and effort while others didn't have to do anything to get the 2B letter.
how did you find out? since this letter is from the clan to enjoy 2B priority, why did people there direct you to the school instead?

Could it be that this is a transition year as the clan is now moving to require parents to do PV before they issue the letter? It is true that in the past, there is no need for clan members to do PV just to get the recommendation letter.

Actually the clan in charge told us that it all depends on the number of applicants for that number of school. If number of applicants are low they will also issue to those without any volunteer works. It all depends on your luck so when we heard we still volunteered. Abt 2 years ago my fren joined the clan 1.5 years and never volunteers but go to do RC. Ironically RC never issued the 2B letter , it was the huay kuan who issued 2B letter. They issued all letters to those who never volunteered but above 1 year. My fren told me during the balloting heard from those present they din do volunteer work

In this case, it is the clan's policy that is at fault. They cannot make it such that it \"all depends on the number of applicants\"! It will always result in cases where some applicants actually do more while others seemingly get a free ride. If they want to implement the PV policy, then they should do it across the board for everyone.
