All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

christabelong:

Wonder if anyone can help me on this? I would like to apply as PV but the school requested for CV of both parents....i wonder what they expect to see in the CV...my working experience? does it really matter if I am a home-maker or the director of a MNC?Thanks

They are probably looking for skills that meet their needs. For example, artist to help in arts and craft, seamstress to help with performance costumes, etc

i think when they request for cv, they are looking at what skills you have to match their requirement ...... a kind of blind date, tikam tikam, like asking the parents to try luck

some schools are more forthright to tell you what they need, and you decide to apply or not. if more applicants than amount of work available, then may be must interview liao, and see how near you stay from the school...

Just like any job applications. Need not be humble but be realistic. If certain old skills we once had is kind of rusty now, better not put it in, or it will be very :oops: if picked to PV for that and can't do it.

If you have skills like graphics design & media, project management or current teaching experience do stand very good chance into the PV. Different primary schools have different criteria in PV selection.

My girls are born in 2007. Am I right that I have to apply for PV early next year?


Can I apply for more than 1 PV at the same time? How about if I stay >2km from the school, what are my chances?
