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?

every school is different

some just ask 'can you do this duty' for one year ?

so if you can, there you get it and start liao

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.

what makes Rulang more preferred than SQ ?

Well, heard more about the achievement about Rulang. Moreover, my hubby does not have good impressions of his ex-school... ha ha.

Anyone has comments abt SQ?

Hi Janet, thanks. Agree too. No need subject to all these hassle lei. SQ is just an easy way out lah. Anyway, my hubby wants to try out the PV at Rulang.

I have applied to be a PV in school A last year but the school did not start their selection process. Then subsequently, I applied to be a PV in school B and was selected. I have in fact started volunteering my service in school B. Now, school A calls me up for an interview. Can I be PV in 2 schools and decide which school to apply later on? Thanks in advance.

Yes you can.

Thanks so much! Does school normally ask whether we are already volunteering in another school? Do we need to disclose this information? And is this a common practice by many PV? Sorry to ask so many questions at one go :-). Thanks!

I know some parents 'split' the task : one does PV in A while the other PV in B .....that was a case of worrying kena ballot in Phase 2B under PV

Hi alng,

You do not have to disclose info to the school that you are doing PV in another school as well. It’s ok, I guess all parents here understand your concerns.

My friend did PV at RGPS (watering plants) and Pei Hwa because she wanted to understand the culture and environment of the 2 schools. In the end, she decided on Pei Hwa as it was nearer home. For both schools, she would be under Phase 2B.
