Does anyone knows the no.of PV for next year registration for less than 1km & within 2km for NYPS?

Honestly, no one knows for sure...and the makeup can change from now to next year

Hi Juanthedragon,

Sometimes, the parents’ expertise may not be what the school requires for PVs. A friend of mine watered the plants at RGPS every morning. Another friend did art & craft with the gals in the afternoon session. Parents do feel short-changed that they have to do all these type of work.

A friend asked me to write into Nanyang to do traffic warden, but as I’m staying more than 2km, I don’t want to do 80 hours for nothing…furthermore, that was the hot year for Dragon kids.

Thanks Voovoo, can you tell me more about the makeup? Is it NYPS might add on more PVs for next year registration?

I don't know the current makeup either... :oops:

Hi i3mum,

If you’re staying more than 1km away from NYPS, I hope you are prepared to look at another school. Nanyang, MGS, RGPS, Pei Hwa have balloting for those staying 1km away. As for PVs, nobody knows how many a school takes in, nor what are the qualities schools are looking for.

it is very true that PVs for the schools are critically dependent on the needs of the schools - areas where they lack resources. It it not what you can do best, nor your expertise


can a doctor do traffic warden duty ? will a doctor do traffic warden duty ?

even say for eg being an architect could be useful but for only one occasion. after the building is done, the school does not need that any more

or being a film maker, after the school has produced the film for the year, it is done. the school is not going to make a film every other year

being able to man the sick bay and the dental clinic in school would definitely be helpful

the mundane duties like gardening, maintenance, and traffic control would be kind of in perennial needs…so, hopeful PVs, pitch your services intelligently

start getting to know who and who in the board of directors or alumni. It is who knows you and not you know who that matter. she/he may sponsor your child for p1 registration and that’s the surest method.


So, start rubbing shoulders now…start by donating to the school indoor hall or participate in school’s CCA i.e. floral exhibition…etc…

try offer your service as a chaperone - accompanies and guides children during their overseas’ education trip…you have to pay for your ticket and accommodation…


A single trip, you would have clocked more than 40 hours…
