Don't worry (though I did). they will have bring the kids out (usually 4 hours). Best was the mid-autumn...8 hours I think. just make sure your email is always on...then can react fast.

I think the supply for pv work is there, so they can afford to be more 'picky' with the timing. In any case, we've got to bend to their will...so no choice. Yah, go right up and re-submit your forms.

what is parents group? My kid is not in this school yet leh.

wow some parents must be monitering their email 24hrs, till now I have not managed to sign up for any of the activities, at this rate not sure if I can clock in enough hrs before 30 Jun

I find Hong Wen is one of the schools that follow the general guidelines, for timing of applying for PV according to birth yr of child, set by MOE. There are schools that closed the dateline so much earlier, even a yr earlier than the stated guidelines which I think is not fair to parents who read the guidelines stated by MOE and apporach the school at the appropriate time according to their child’s brith yr.

hi SAHM_TAN,


me also wanna follow the guideline, the std route to do PV but me is working full time . whatever leaves are for emergency/ kids use.... n dh gotta travel yah. so me left with ltd time n leave to do PV. All pri schools are 1-2km... dont have within 1km one lor... so me gotta request HW whether allow to have longer period to fulfil the 40hrs. Even the PV nd 1hr me still gotta take 1/2 leave. I dont drive and nd to travel by public transport fm wk pl to HW (i.e sbs to mrt approx 2.5hr hor- 2 ways)...

so really hope able to have \"fast leg fast hand\" to grab those can clock in long hr events one - outings, excursions, kinda of. Then my leave will be worth lor...

I remember that such emails tend to be sent out in the afternoons. Then got to fill up a spreadsheet in google.

Tip for you: I used my co email as the basic communication. So at work I can see it immediately once its sent out. And if you can, put in more than 1 email address so that the 'view' chance is higher.

Hi Reiner,

Pls don't be mistaken I was not judging ur actions. I'm just fed-up with some schools that think all parents are seasoned and know that each school are able to set their time-table regarding the closing for PV applications.
