Usually the application opens 1 Sep till 31 Dec. The application form is available on school website for download near Sep. Registered address on application form and on parents NRIC has to be within 1km of SNGS. They may reject your application if not. Read up PV FAQ.

Has anyone here applied/ did PV at Ai Tong recently? It’s my turn to apply next year so would like to find out more. We live 1km from the sch but from looking at past years numbers, seems like balloting for PV within 1km is common.


Thanks in advanced for your sharing!

Dear all,


Newbie here. My girl is 2014 year. Although couple of years to go before the primary registration starts, I would like to know what’s the criteria for registering the PV. I saw few registration form which requires contribution such as motivational talks, time management etc, and as a Kiasu parent myself, should I start signing up for courses to get the relevant certificates ? so that I can gain better chance for the PV selection? any PV doing the same or in there any courses parent attend? Thanks !

Different schools different requirements. Generally, the more popular the school, the tougher the requirements (that's assuming they accept PV in the first place).

Some schools require you to value add, rather than performing general tasks like traffic warden, minder, etc. You would need to be able to value add to be considered and having the relevant experience helps - think of it as a job interview, except that you won't be getting paid.

Hello there, for people who got accepted for PV (after form submission), will there be an interview or not necessary? Not sure if this is the normal procedure or only for selected schools…

Only some schools conduct interviews. Other schools don’t have.
