All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[edrickelleon]

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!

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.

yes u r right.. its like making me sit down in front of the sheets of papers thinking.. wat can i offer???

Professional? You mean the way they dressed up or the way they talk?

3CsMom - the way they present themselves and dressed, when i went for the interview, i was alone and dressed in a top and jeans but most of them are well dressed and guys are in shirts and pants and best one of them brought a thick file with own laptop :roll:

Hubby & I weren’t interviewed b4 we were chosen as PVs…acceptance was based on the email we sent in…although rejected earlier. We met the principal together with 3 other couples regarding our ‘job responsibilities’ and when we will start chalking up hours…all of us dressed casually in jeans and tees.

wow..well. whatever, i guess if you tried your best and genuine about providing your child a good education, I believe somehow, someway it will work out well. That's the belief I kept to remind myself despite if I can't get him into the school of my choice, it's not the end of the world.

edrickelleon,

Yup 100% agree. If we can and are chosen to do PV, tha’ts great. But if PV application is rejected, then nothing we can do. Next thing is proximity to school. We should still do our best and coach kids in their studies regardless of school…there is this thing called transfer. So if results are good, school of choice will still take him/her in.
