All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[Cc1702012]

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

[Cc1702012]

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

If you aim for highly balloted 2B schools, you might want 2 choices in case on last day, 1 of the school has too many applicants if you still can check live stats. Then you have another choice.

Anyway the school that I volunteered already told us that there is no guarantee we can get a place even if we fullfill our hours but most of time those completed n met their requirements will probably be accepted. True enough my son able to get a place in p1 next year. In fact all the PV parents got a place…so key thing is get a PV job from one of the school u want first…shit this year the p1 registration is so so competitive…

Normally for those very highly balloted school they will really cap their PV intake

Anyway is a good experience…for example i

Managed to get some PV work during Chinese New Year, Cultural day n during last year Nov19 Orientation day…so i know what to expect during this Nov school Orientation day. The school also allow continuous volunteering for parents who like to continue for those adhoc work…so that give parents opportunities to see how their children doing from time to time

By the way, i think it would be lucky if you can get a PV place within next one to two years…as now schools generally have limited slots for PV during this Covid-19 pandemic… good luck for SG50 babies parents

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..

No they don’t choose based on educational qualifications. No certs needed.

Parent’s occupation is quite irrelevant unless you are offering some job-related service to the school. Sometimes schools just want someone who can commit to serve [U]during school hours[/U]. Or in the case of traffic wardens, before school hours. So make sure you have a spouse or alternative caregiver to watch the kids/send them to kindergarten while you do your duty.

Don’t know much about SCGS/RGPS PV.

Actually, for most highly balloted schools, they don’t even have a PV scheme anymore.

[Cc1702012]

Yeah, some of those super highly balloted schools don’t offer PV scheme anymore…so it is important to find one that give u that opportunity, if that school is above the average national standard but not the best n most demanded…is better than nothing…especially given this year crazy super competitive p1 registration experience.
