All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[janet88]

BigDevil,

I didn’t see the calendar yet…didn’t realize Phase 2A2 is on Thur/Fri.
Wonder why dates are changed to Thur & Fri…it will be a torture for parents esp those in Phase 2B onwards (hopefully 2C registration won’t be on Thur & Fri as well).

BigDevil:

Last year was July 13/14 for 2A2 and July 20/21 for 2B...both on Mon and Tues.

This year July 15/16, 22/23 falls on Thurs and Fri...wonder why change? Nervous parents are not going to enjoy their weekends....

During my year of registration in 2008, phase 2B was on Thur and Fri too. Luckily we could enjoy the weekend coz it was confirmed there was no balloting required by Fri :love:

LKVM:

Any Idea for phase 2C :?

I guess 2C registration should be about 2-3 days after confirmation of 2B...ie late July. It's always the most stressful time for all parents whose kids fall under this phase.

Hi everybody


I’m a new mom in this topic, did anybody can help give me some
suggestion?
I going to move house in this September ,2010. so I plan to let
my DD to get in Gongshang as I my new flat is less than 1km from the school. My DD born in 2005. Since Dec last year 2009 I already submitted
PV form at Red Swastika cause which more than 2 km away from my currently flat. If I want to do the PV for Gongshang then I need to cancel the PV at Red Swastika? BTW the school have not call me to do the PV.

Thanks
Barbie

Hi Barbie,


You can PV for more than one school, so it is not necessary to withdraw your PV application from Red Swastika.

However, you’d better give Gongshang a call fast to see if you can still apply to be PV. Your 2005 child needs to register for P1 next year, so your duty cycle is from July 2010 to June 2011. It’s very likely the school has closed their PV application.

Good luck!

Hi ChiefKiasu,


I had in mind to attack the following Primary School.

(i) Fairfield Methodist Primary. (Distance 4.5Km Away)
(ii) Radin Mas Primary (Distance 1.5Km Away)

Should I do volunteer service on both school? I consider Fairfield as there is a after school care centre just in the vicinity of the school & most important is a single session.

Great mind thinks alike leh....I'm also thinking of these schools but is 2 yrs later of you.

Where your kid study now?

For St Hilda's, I believe they will cut classes for 2012 in take since they are aiming to go for single session, so 2012 seats are ard 240 or 210 seats. They are cutting 1 class for 2011 intake (from 300 to 270 seats) this year.


For Gong Shang - you would need to submit your PV form as soon as possible, as for St Anthony's Cannosian - so far understand no PV is required (however I might be wrong since the HOT HOT schools are cutting classes, so the next HOT school might be HOT soon)

@jenybc: tks for ur feedback. yes, st hilda's will be cutting back the number of classes as they move into single session, which is also ideal for us actually, being working parents and also good for the kids. and of cos, being a co-ed sch, my 2nd child will benefit from that when it is his turn to enrol.

i thinking of trying my luck at phase 2C for both st hilda's and st anthony's but have reservation whether i should even try st hilda's at all...
