For certain schools, PV hours can be hard to get. Parents doing PV have to look out for slots to chalk up time.


My hubby was allocated standard time for PV - every Saturday 8-1pm. Chalked up 40 hours very fast. There was once school asked if he was able to do 5 hours to wash sweet potatoes for Civil Defence day. I did it because I was free that day.

my hubby peeled pomelos for 2 years straight during mid autumn festival. That was good cos I think we clocked more than 4 hours each time. Depends on how the school carry out - if they send out mass email and fastest respondents get, better to make sure one is contactable via the means provided (ie don't give email account that one hardly go in).

Tao Nan is only 30min each time. The rest is the same, thus 40 hours in a year.

30 min!!! Aiyoh, wake up so early to do 30 min pv? It really speaks of the determination of the parent. Impressed. :celebrate:

I did a bit of that in the initial days - thought to clock regular time good. But when the opportunity came, we seized those one off events (outings, festivals, what nots), thankfully, the 40 hours in our pocket....now can sit back and give chance to other parents.

NYPS.

Can't even volunteer for those activities that clock a few hours coz they are scared that you don't continue with the traffic warden duties if you can clock from other activities... :roll:

I thought NYPS sets 80 hours for PV...didn't know there are other schools which set 80 hours too :shock:


A school which takes in many PVs will not care much if the child gets in at Phase 2B or not...its objective is to get routine jobs done for FREE...parents will do it willingly and schools get to enjoy FREE labour.
During registration for Phase 2B, parents have to ballot if demand exceeds.

A friend told me NYPS gets parents to do 30 min of traffic warden every day. For the pathetic 1/2 hour from 645am to 715am.
