All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[yybnami]

Hi all, a newbie here. May I ask when’s the earliest a parent can register for PV for Rulang Primary School and Henry Park Primary School? Also, can a family (mum and dad) volunteer at two different schools concurrently? Appreciate your all’s help!

Usually when child is about N2, check with the school. Both parents can volunteer any schools provided they are accepted lah.

Hi,
I would like to ask if we are allowed to apply for parent volunteer in 2 schools?

Yes you can apply any number of schools.

Thank you

Volunteer for 2 schools ? Unless you have so much free time or one of the spouse not working..is not easy..my wife and me did the volunteer work for a whole year..there are two categories - cat A and cat B - cat A is something you do regularly such as traffic warden..cat B is something you fight to get the opportunity...

Yes, we plan to volunteer in 2 schools. Our work schedule can be flexible and we are willing to commit to increase the chances...

Before having a child, the thought of PV or shifting house means so foreign to me.. now it's time to really panic :nailbite:

You should apply to more than 2 schools. If more than 2 get back, you can pick and choose.

Why limit yourselves to only 2 PV applications? Just send as many as you’re interested in.


Similar process to sending out resumes. It’s all similar template anyway. Modify per school as you wish. Then blast them out.

Whoever replies, it’s like striking gold. Then u pick where you want to serve your time at.

hi i m new here. My first post here. Do they choose the PV according to the parents occupation and educational qualifications? Do they ask for supporting documents? As i m a SAHM and i have lost some of my certs in the process of moving a couple of times. Anyone went for SCGS or RGPS PV and got admission? Need some help here. Panic mode on…

I am not sure whether the PV jobs are similar for other schools. The problem is with the Cat B category work. Cat A is something that is fixed, every week…Cat B is irregular n adhoc. Is more for volunteering say for Children day, Chinese New Year celebration, etc…u have to fight for it. The school can send u a Whatspp message n within 1 minute, they are filled up as many parents just volunteer immediately. U don’t even have time to apply leave…u just immediately respond when u get the sms n then apply leave with your boss. U might end up not getting enough time to fullfill the cat B jobs…this is for the school my wife n I volunteered last year

[Cc1702012]

Theoretically u can volunteer as many schools as u want but whether u can fullfill the school PV requirement is another thing

Also for every phase, u can only apply for one school, so no point to do volunteer job for 2 or more school. That is personal opinion
