All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[janet88]

zac's mum:

For PV scheme, the school will choose u, not u choose the school. So apply PV for as many schools that you are insterested in, see your luck which one(s) choose u.


From there, it’s much easier to make your decision. Don’t need to worry here worry there.

the problem is does the parent(s) have time to fulfull the hours required?
i understand for some schools, you literall have to call frequently to ask if they need PVs...if each PV session is only 1-2 hours, it will be hard to complete the minimum.

Hi all,


I see that some schools are asking for proposal for the PV. Any idea what kind of proposal to submit? Eg. length of proposal, content etc?

Thanks in advance for the tips.

Thanks in advance for the tips.

my guess is, what can you do for the school?
what kind of contribution can you offer as a PV?
what expertise can the parents offer and hours required?
can the potential PV be able to go to the school at short notice?

Hello everyone, Thanks all for your time first.


I am SPR/<1km, qualified for Phase 2B and fulfill the parent volunteer scheme.

My question is, am I able to register under Phase 2B even though we are SPR? or still need to Q under Phase 2C (but our priority over those PR without PV qualification)?

Thanks thanks!

It would depend on what your child's status is. Whether he/she is a citizen/ PR/ or foreigner. If the child is a citizen or SPR, you are qualified to register in 2B.

Hi thanks for your reply! My child is SPR also

I confused about this because I saw this \"Singapore Citizens (SCs) will be given absolute priority over Singapore Permanent Residents (PRs)\" everywhere, so not sure how does it applies to my situation. Thanks again!

Thanks again![/quote]You will be allowed to register under Phase 2B as SPR. However, your priority will be lower than SC if there is balloting within that phase. Meaning, any SC, even if they live across the island or across the causeway (ie > 2km), will be admitted into the school before you. If there is any balance after all SC have been admitted, you will then be considered.

For non-popular schools, it will probably not be a concern. For popular schools, prep for the worst.

Thank you floppy.


So means that under Phase 2B, my chance will be lower than Phase 2B SC even their distance >2km, they will fill in all the Phase 2B SC first then consider Phase 2B SPR.

In the meantime, Phase 2B SPR chance will still be HIGHER than Phase 2C SC and SPR. Can I say that? Thanks!

This is incorrect. Your chance would be considered by phases. It means, your chance in any phase will be lower than SC. It means even if there are SC > 2km in Phase 2C, they will still be given priority.

This is incorrect. Your chance would be considered by phases. It means, your chance in any phase will be lower than SC. It means even if there are SC > 2km in Phase 2C, they will still be given priority.

To clarify, each phase is unique and is not correlated to previous phase.

The first statement is correct:
Under Phase 2B, my chance will be lower than Phase 2B SC even their distance >2km, they will fill in all the Phase 2B SC first then consider Phase 2B SPR.

When it comes to Phase 2C, whether you have qualified for Phase 2B (or Phase 2A) is irrelevant. As per galaxyrider comment, your priority will still be lower than SC even though they might not have qualified for any of the earlier phases.
