Hi Jav,
P1 registration is round the corner. Schools are now busy preparing for this. Besides, it's the school holidays now. I suggest you call up the school when school reopens or else in Sep when the registration process is over.

Hi



If im a ex student of the pri sch do i still need to do PV?

[tankee]

No. Being an ex-Student already allow you to register in earlier phases.

Thanks Janet. Am just afraid whether there is sufficient time to accumulate the 40 hours.

Jav,
I understand your concern.
You can try calling the school after 2 weeks or else end June when school reopens. That worry of chalking up 40 hours is indeed a big fear for PVs.

Hi, I was also called for an interview at Rulang… Goodness me, feel like giving up this PV appln.


Need to fill up a very "interesting" form, what thrusts and the contributions to be based on these thrusts etc… Really don’t know what to write and what to contribute.

PV is no longer just doing miscellaneous roles, kaypo here and there.

More siong that going for job interview.

Any one has thots on this?

Hi lakesidemum,
I heard that the interview for Rulang is nerve wrecking. Not only do you have to fill up forms but also be interviewed by a panel from the school...don't have exact details but this was wat I heard from a friend.
This is before getting into the school...another level of stress after getting into the school.

Hi,

Yes, understand from the email that I rec. Really wanted to forget about it, but decided to just give it a try. Afterall, the possiblity of getting selected is only 20%. There are about 250 appln for this year and they only select 50 PVs. If not selected, will just go for SQ since my hubby is an ex-student there, good chance to get in there.

WIll be going for the interview next week.. let's see how..

Are the others schools PV selection process as difficult as Rulang? Any one care to share?

Hi lakesidemum,

Rulang takes in 50 PVs…at Phase 2B, is it able to take in all of them ?
Why don’t you go for your hubby’s former school, since all mummies told me Phase 2A2 is confirmed. Not only is it confirmed, you don’t have to do PV and register under Phase 2B which is subject to balloting.
