All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

Daddy

U speaking as a PSG member?

Hmmm... if u ask me... this sounds more like what external training vendors do for schs... and the sch expects PV to do for FREE?
Win liao lor... :?

Isn't that where true value added is ? Afterall, popular schools do not lack in PVs from existing students so they are unlikely to be interested in common services.

I have a friend who has applied for PV in a boys' school and she was asked to wash toilets!!!! I checked on the P1 registration statistics and told my friend she need not wash toilets also can get her son into the school.

For what i know, SCGS does not have PV scheme.

SCGS has started to accept a few PV to support their niche areas. Refer to the link below:

Ohhh... That is very good for those DD that born in 2006 onwards. :lol:

She must apply now. I must say that though on paper it is stated as 40 hours, to mentor a team of students for the business competition that span over 10 months will take up more than 40 hours - it is like 100 hours in the end. 100 hours include off site mentoring.

Thanks alng, your help is greatly appreciated and that is very good info. for my friend. Though the system can be very stressful at times, it is comforting to have this platform for us to lend our hands to each other.

Went to see the PV form from SCG S. Its very difficult to write.

Hi alng,

What ? PV wash toilets in boys’ school ? Isn’t that rather overboard for the school to make that request ? It’s really taking advantage.

Hi Sotong_mum,

Those who are chosen to be PV will have to start chalking up hours and finish b4 June next year for registration next July. Did you write in to Rulang too ? If you didn’t receive any email, it may mean you weren’t selected. Perhaps you would like to call the school to find out ?

Hmmm... thus the higher/demanding standards/targets for new PVs every year...
High Supply/Low Demand thingy... I think it's a fine line between value-added and exploitation.

Impossible that your friend's DD can get into NHPS as they stay > 2km. NHPS ballot within 1 km at P2C. Correct me if im wrong. :roll:

hi, sorry just checked with my friend he's within 1 click to nan hua. I thot it was 2 km. but still, he got really lucky and he told me all he do is to hope for the best as both him and his spouse travel alot in their jobs so impossible to do PV.
