All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[myprecious]

went online to check there are about 6 schools within 1km of my hse. The nearest one is considered quite popular in woodlands and I have not done any PV for my son who needs to register this year... is it too late to start now? :?

Hi myprecious


Yes, if you are registering this year for the 2010 (primary 1) intake. Most parent volunteer would be finishing soon.

To all who have done PV work before, I would like to ask if schools that seek out PV parcel out things for PVs to do throughout the year?


Reason I asked is that I joined PV for a SAP school in late 2008. For a while, there were loads of things PVs could participate in. However in 2009, there has been NO work for PVs (at least not when I checked).

In comparison, a friend joined PV for an elite school earlier this year and she has been clocking time like a speeding train, and there seems a lot of more things coming ahead.

I am just fretting if I will manage to clock the required hours by the time I need to register (that's in 2010 - ks syndrome). it's quite aggravating cos we've clocked slightly more than half the hours already.'

THKQ!

Heyya honeystar,


You ARE indeed lost...
Cos you were firstly
supposed to report
to ChiefKiasu at the
newbies..

And now for your
urgent question..

PV usually good to
submit application
2 years prior to your
child's Primary 1
registration.

Our fantastic site has
easy to navigate features
for you to check out on the
primary schools in Singapore.
Track records, location, etc...
Only don't have school uniform
sample and canteen menu so
far... other than that quite complete
lah.. Hope you find what you want, k.

To start, click the index under Primary
Schools Selection and registration to
check out the feedback share by our
parents, to read up more on the sch
of your choice..

Hey Bud, thks for the advice. I'm juz like a army new recruit :? BLUR!

You're welcome, honeystar.

hi myprecious, since we both leave in the same area, mind sharing which you think is the best school in woodlands? How does your school line-up look like?


BTW, my K1 is due for registering in 2010. A few on my list are Evergreen, Admiralty and Woodgrove - but no idea which is better… Thank for sharing

Oh... I got the best few woodlands school through the poll in the topic of woodlands school in this forum.

My list is the same as yours, Admiralty, Evergreen and woodgrove. Did you do any PV for your K1?

[RRMummy]

Hi myprecious, I tried applying for one but so far no reply. A few which I zoom in, PV already closed end last year… .so up to now still have not done any PV.

opps, sorry myprecious, just saw your previous entry... so you will go for Phase 2C of Evergreen as first choice?

BTW, which is the nearest popular school you were referring to? The environment ok? The children coming out of the school well behaved?

Most likely Evergreen as first choice for phase 2C.

Evergreen is the nearest school to my place. Haven't really check up on the school's background but heard from a parent that Evergreen has alot of homework. I believe there is no 100% well behaved students in any school be it the most popular or least popular. It very much depends on our own children's discipline.
