Anyone received reply from RGPS on pv status?

I haven't, and since the form said by 29 Feb you don't hear from them means not shortlisted. But I am not sure if Covid-19 has to do with PV applications this year.

Anyway, I am assuming I have not been shortlisted.

Anyone is applying PV for St Hilda’s this year? It’s just open. They mentioned that PV is required to contribute in at least one weekly programme for two years and did not mention how many hours need to fulfill. Does it mean that we need to go every week for two year during school time?

Dear parents, does anyone know how to apply for PV in Ngee Ann primary school? I called them but the office lady told me their PV program is finished for this year, and they don’t accept SPR (Because I’m SPR) but only SC…Shall I stop trying? thank you.

As you are registering for P1 next year, it’s probably too late for most schools. Most popular schools don’t open up their PV slots to non-SC. My suggestion would be to stop wasting time trying and focus on the options / schools available next year.

thank you for your advice.

Hello all, this is my first post in the forum. My son is born in 2015 and looking to enroll in P1 in 2022. We are planning to apply to be at Parent Volunteer at Fairfield Methodist Primary in the hope of being bumped up into Phase 2B. We are currently located slightly past 2km but are willing to move to be within 1KM to improve our chances. We are also no Methodists hence the church route isn’t a viable option.


Are there any existing PVs at FMPS here that can shed some light on the process, what are the skillsets the school is looking for, more so during this unprecedented times? The pandemic has changed the way the world evolves and to some extent, the PV requirements too. We are just honest working parents who are keen to enroll my elder boy in FMPS and subsequently if successful, my younger son too.

Any advice welcome.

You are running out of time. The deadline is 31st May 2020. You can download the form here:

https://fmsp.moe.edu.sg/parents/download-forms

Take a look to see which of those skills sets/areas Mentioned on the form that you can help out in. I’m not very sure, but maybe those services which you can offer remotely (eg Zoom webinar for the kids) may be viewed more favorably.

When I applied several years ago, I stated upfront in my application exactly what you mention: “We are currently located slightly past 2km but are willing to move to be within 1KM to improve our chances.”

The school picked me but eventually I turned it down as I chose to spend my precious hours at another school.

Thanks![/quote]I actually applied to 3 schools, and got selected by 2. Maris Stella sent me a very polite rejection letter. So just apply to as many schools as you like, there’s no cap and no harm.

I don’t have any super unique talent/skills, just a flair for English & Science. And some music background. And willingness to carve out time to suit the school’s hours. Truth be told, the school that I eventually PVed at, didn’t even use those skills (other than at one half-day career exhibition)...the bulk of the time was spent being a teacher’s assistant in the classroom, or being a chaperone on learning journeys, or making CNY decorations.
