All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

Sigh..so stressful.


Just got to know from a friend whom did not do any pv and went for the P1 registration for his son, choosen a school that was ok, not the ones on the hot seat. It was disastrous and only managed to get a school for his son in Phase 2C supp in a school totally not his choice but at that stage, there's really nothing he could do.

Another friend of mine, no PV, stayed more than 2 km from Nan Hua, went straight to Phase 2C to apply knowing he will get balloted, and guess what! he confirmed a seat for his daughter.

So I guess, it's really a matter of luck, even for pv applications.
Maybe should just leave it to the hands of God...

Agree, this whole thing of P1 regn all boiled down to your LUCK. In fact, during the interview, my hubby went alone too, and he was rather confident that we would be successful, cos the interviewer were glad that my hubby was able to help them with an improvement that they have been looking for.... and what happen, was rejected in the end.

Perhaps, you shld try to get to know some important pple in the school, and that might help too..... my 2 cts...

Daddy

Correct me if I'm wrong for those PVs who got rejected/selected... with confirmed cases to proof lah... based on work experience.


Value-added advantage (Selected)
- With Accounting background

No value-added advantage (Rejected)
- With Teaching background
- With IT background

Of cos' there are other factors... list is not inclusive.
Maybe others can input/add

I agree with the part on accounting background.

Anyone staying >2km from the school you applied for PV successful?

Hi edrickelleon,


Before you apply for PV in a school, try to find out the niches of the school and find out the areas that the school wants to develop in. For Rulang, for example, they are strong in robotics. They have developed an entrepreneurship program and have just launched it. So you will be at an advantage if you could contribute to their niche area. Forget about library or gardening as those are too common.

For SCGS where my DD1 is in now, we are looking for PV to support some of the talent program such as mentoring the students in business competition etc.
