All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[janet88]

Hi Parents,

I understand you would need to personally fill up a form at the school to apply for PV. Things have really changed.

missymorr,
I guess the part which is toughest to fill up is on what you can offer ?
If I can register my daughter in SCGS, that would be great bcos it’s much nearer home.

Then u can put down in the PV form as Director/MD of XX consultancy firm... the sch sure impressed one

Sad to say this does not work. My husband is indeed an MD of such firm but guess what, we go rejected. I used to work for pwd (not sure what it’s call now) where I’m placed to take care of 15 schools’ estate management matters. Given these in our application, we still got rejected…

So the question still is, what does the school really want? Each school is different. Unless they give a guideline on what they’re looking for, it’s all wild guesses when we send in the application in hope we’ll strike the 1st prize.

but if MD, should be very busy and therefore not able to commit the time right? No experience there but I think 'willing to work like cow/horse' would be a better sell? Dun take me seriously.

I would think impressing your commitment and your admiration of the school values/quality would work better?

OIC... I think the sch OM saw your application and threw into the bin... else the OM will lose his job.

haha, I like that.

guess we’re all going crazy now, having all sorts of idea…

btw, I found Maris Stella's website had some content regarding the activities of PV, expected timing if you do PV and etc.


So far, none of the schools website that I've browsed gave such details.
I thot that was superb!
