[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]Parents who write in to the school to register as PVs usually don't end up doing things they are trained in...if they are lucky enough to be selected, then what they do can be things like watering plants, painting wall murals, do traffic warden jobs, washing sweet potatoes, helping the school shift furniture when they move to temp locations...but never sit in front of the PC and enjoy aircon.

The pv task u listed sound so easy leh...for the school which I PV for my girl, need to commit to weekly programme relating to reading, Chinese n maths besides the adhoc assignment...

Really? I heard of having to commit art lessons too, but in another school. As long as you are selected and can chalk up at least 2-3 hours each session, you can qualify under Phase 2B.[/quote]Well even under phase 2b may not guarantee our dd of a seat...cos we are within 1-2 km n they hv balloting for 2b in this yr registration....we just need to try our luck...

Hi HappyAvon,

I wish you all the best in the P1 registration next year. Don’t worry too far yet…I know it’s easier said than done.

Hi Janet, thanks..we din worry too far...we hv a backup plan to try other school and many things are beyond our control....if she can get in, its her luck...otherwise just try somewhere else...of course, as a parent, we just want to help her to get into a better school...

Hi Munnoos,

PV is not compulsory. If you become a PV at a school, it gives you an edge when registering your child in primary one.

As your older child will enter at P4 when you come to Singapore, your second child will be a shoo-in (in the same school that his/her elder sibling is in) when it is his/her turn to register for primary school.

If your older child does not get into Shuqun Primary as you hope, you might want to consider being a PV there to give your younger child the edge.

Some parents also volunteer at schools for the sole reason of participating more in the schools that their children are in.

hi all


I am new here… still v blur abt primary registration… hope to learn more from this forum
My elder gal… born in yr 2006, so she wil enrol in primary sch in yr 2013. Then when do I need to do PV? When should i call and find out from the sch?
Let’s say if i do PV for this sch which is 1 to 2 km of my place, does that mean i will hv chance for balloting under the less than 1km phrase?
Stil not sure abt the 2a,b or c thingy. kekeke…

:welcome: to KSP.com. Perhaps you would like to introduce yourself at the Newbie thread so that we can give you a formal welcome? This is a SOP in KSP.com, btw.

To understand the P1 registration better, perhaps you would like to start by reading the following thread:
