gsop09:

Has anyone gone for parents volunteer interview before? Can anyone advise what questions will be ask and what preparation needs to be done? NCPS has called me for an interview, I'm happy and worry, it feels like going for a job interview.

Yes I did but mine was not at NCPS. Questions they asked included how u can contribute to the school, how u going to take time off if both parents are working (like in my case). And whether u can contribute beyond the minimum 40 hours after ur child gets a place etc. Also in some specific areas which they needed help, they asked whether we can do it etc...

Thanks for your reply, Luanee. I just hope that I can meet their requirements.

Hi all,

hi,


I stay at Sengkang. North Spring is the nearest pimary school to my place also.

However, going by the P1 registration exercise, North Spring is not that popular among the parents staying here though…

Hi,


I just moved from Toa Payoh to Sengkang. My current worry is transferring my son who is now finishing P1 at Toa Payoh. The nearest schools to my new place is SengKang Primary or Compassvale Primary. I have written to almost all the schools in Sengkang regarding vacancy for P2, however, all gave me the same reply of having to waitlist as they can’t tell if there are any P2 vacancies at this stage.

So, I would like to ask parents at Sengkang for advice. Which school is more likely to have vacancies for P2 (based on P1 2009 registration history?)? Alternatively, I will also wait for the STEPS programme for transfer.

Appreciate any advice, thanks!

If you don’t mind travel a little (still within the reasonably distance) you may try Punggol Primary at Hougang.

Hi Eilleen , is there a reason why u transfer your kid to horizon? I thought compassvale is a better option .
