All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[daddy2007]

I heard we can also try to apply to be school committe member. Got interview to go through and heard it is very tough to pass

I don’t remember going for any interview test for PV…if get a place in the school of choice, that feeling is even better than striking 4D !!!

But I agree that interview for job also not that stressful…if get, then good…if not, then too bad. No big deal.
However, when we were rejected by that letter, I asked hubby, ‘what’s next ? Still want to go for the school ?’ He replied, ‘Yes, still go for it. Under 2C’.

PV works doesl not guarantee a place. But if you are doing it, try making it more than 40 hours. The school will appreciate it. I did PV in yr 2009-2010, but was not lucky in the ballots in phase 2B cause we were outside 1km. However, was offerred a place in the late Nov 2010. Apparently, clocking more than 40 hours do help.

Hubby & I did PV for more than 40 hours...and continued with it. The school admin asked for help and hubby was more than willing. When parents do PV for the school and are not successful during balloting, the school will take note as service has been done FOR the school.

That's exactly what my hubby and I (was preggy then) did...clocking more than 40 hrs. We were unsuccessful during the phase 2B-1km ballot... put on waiting list. Thankfully, my gal has been offered a place at ATS today cos there's a vacancy.

I'm glad you got a vacancy...doing PV while pregnant must have been tough on you.

Well, we were very fortunate then...at the last minute, the school called to ask if we're still keen to be PV. Anway, we would still prepared to register under Phase 2C then.
