After reading this, i'm not sure how i should be feeling to have already committed 150hours for PV program since my child was 2yo.Went through the PV interview at St Hilda's. It was a nightmare.
80 hrs, compulsory reading program of 2-3 hrs once every weekday. Other ad-hoc will be once or twice a year for school events.
So in short have to take afternoon (or morning) off work once every week for about 40 weeks (10mths)! The program only allow 1 parent, not to be split so to let the student to get used to you. I can't afford to take half day off every week for 10mths. It is not longer whether the parent can commit. You have to stay jobless to commit this, with no guarantee to get into this school. Really absurd. -
Which school requires 150 hours??!
As far as I know: only NYPS and SHPS require 80 hours.
All the rest require 40 hours. -

All SHHK schools, starting from 2020 registration (previously didn’t state specifically but is understood), will need min. 80 hrs as well.

If its any consolation, remember the intention of PV is to get the parent familiar with the school. Only the most dedicated parents need apply. The result is that dedicated parents who are able to bear through the pain should be ahead in the queue.Went through the PV interview at St Hilda's. It was a nightmare.

I understand your pain, but if you managed to get through Phase 2B in the school, not only will you be in a good position to know if the school is fit for your child. You will support the school for the next 6 years! -
Oh, very painful to do 80/150 hrs & not guarantee secure a place as yet. Only inch closer & might be disappointed.

Recently, i heard there’s a loophole where parents clock 2-3x more hours than required without participating in balloting and some did eventually get into the school of choice via waitlist. So ya, PV is meant for dedicated parents only, the parent who cry murder for 80hour probably might have better luck in 2c.

What I hearsay is. PVs who are unable to get into the school after balloting will be on waiting list. Priority will be given to those who clock in the most PV hour. -
Yes correct, I hear some parent clock almost 700 hours omg !

Yes.. U are correct. I am a parent volunteer and our minimum hours are 70hrs. I went through ballot as there were 25 applicants vs 20 vacancies. My child got in. However, 4 Pvs did not got in. 1 got in via 2C. Another 2 (higher PV hours) got in as there were withdrawal.monajoba:
