All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[SummerBaby]

Hi all, my daughter was born in 2013 and SC citizen, we want to apply for PV at NYPS. I read from their website that application for PV is open. Can anybody please share any experience in applying PV at Nanyang? Would really appreciate any information. And I want to find out if a kid fails to get a place under 2B, will he/she straight away be balloting again under 2C for the same school? Can he/she still change school and enrol under 2C in another school? Many thanks.

After failing to secure a place at Phase 2B, there is no auto route to Phase 2C.
Phase 2C is a new phase, you can apply for different school, or the same school as Phase 2B but do note there is no advantage at Phase 2C even though you have PV for the school. Your chance is the same as all applicants in Phase 2C.

Thank you aloyboy. Yes it’s all luck in 2C phase. And 2CS is useless as by end of 2C, NYPS will be full.

Hi, my daughter is born in 2012 and i applied PV at Chongfu. I have gotten the notification that i was not selected for the PV, they only selected 20 out of 100 applicants, so im trying to explore the other option of volunteering through SHHK.


Would like to check if any of you are already volunteering through SHHK and if yes, how is it usually? I read on their website there are 2 types, Huay Kuan volunteers and School based volunteers…

Does it mean that other than the 20 the school selecting on its own, SHHK also has a quota for Chongfu?

It might be too late for you to get to P2B through SHHK. I believe they also have quota. It means even though you become a member, it doesn't mean you can get the letter to join P2B.

It happened to my friend. He became a member and he clocked many hours, much more than a normal school PV, but in the end he couldn't get the letter and had to register in another school.

Hello, we would like to ask if anybody has any experience of doing PV in Chongfu and how is it generally like?


Thank you.

Haig Girls' haven't really been balloting for SC for a number of years. Why would you want to PV? To get to know the school better?
