      Closer to the PV registration start date of your child, you can make an appointment with the principal to find out more about the school and what areas you can do PV in. From there, you might be able to find out your chances of being selected for PV or aim for another school with higher chances.
      Different schools have different practise of how PV are selected and managed.

        Not too sure if this is a sensitive question but does anyone know if parents can possibly donate to primary school of their choice and to secure a place?

                  I believe sch also have charity drive/annual dinner/sch upgrading/ etc.... which they will ask for donations... and as parents or PV... we will render our support to sch... at our expenses...

                    yes, but these won't get any parents' child a place in the school nor even priority in registration.

                      Only the sch n parent involved will know? Dun think they will publicly annouce such things...
                      I heard ppl do get into the School Advisory/Management Committee through these method... Phase 2A1 secured...
                      of cos' u need the right connections too... U can't just walk in and ask for such things...

                        you can offer to donate and install an overhead projector (in primary school lingual is called visualiser) plus a notebook pc for each and every class room

                        any school would appreciate that

                        or donate a sports hall

                        or donate a swimming pool in the next school upgrading

                        if you are a doctor, err, set up a fully equipped sick bay with doctor on call

                        or if you are a dentist, make yourself available and run a school dental service for your choice of school - don't have to be there every day

                        how about sponsoring an overseas field trip for the kids ?

                        see, lots of ideas ..... lol
