Hi dorisp/Daddy D,


It was tiring...fingers all rubbery after 6 hours...had to sieve out the good and rotten ones, then inform the teacher in charge how many had to be replaced.
There were 2 other mothers with me. When we first reached the room where the cartons were placed, there were 4 or 5 then...we had to scrub clean the sweet potatoes with coconut husk, then spread on the tables to dry and put all into the pails.

After we happily finished 3 cartons, a delivery man delivered another few cartons and we were like, 'huh' ???

I meant that it's kinda mundane and unproductive task to be asking PV parents to do...
But well... that's life of a PV... :stupid: :stupid:

Hi,


Can check with you do you mind let us know what is the occupation of you and daddy ?

BTW, when did you recieve the call from RGPS ?

mum2b:

sorry double posting here & at Parent support group thread.. coz desperately need advice

just got a call from RGPS to attend PV interview for my 2006 born child. My heart stopped beating for a moment.. hehe..
I know it’s not guaranteed (far from it), but so excited and also so worried! Need to ask for experienced mommies/daddies’ advise.. :?:
what should I prepare? What should I bring? How will the interview proceed? Who will interview, how many people will interview us? Is it like a panel interview? What will be the questions? To be honest, we are not sure what the school needs, and our skills are not that specialized and can only offer general services like admin work/warden/escorting children. Does RGPS usually require very specialized services from their PV parents? What kind?
Regarding the time, how usually FTWM cope with the PV jobs? How will the jobs be given to PV parents, through sms/email?
So nervous.. will appreciate any advise. Thanks a lot!

Hubby did the PV...daughter was only 2 years old then. He volunteered my name for the washing of sweet potatoes. :x Told me it was worth doing because it would chalk up many hours...I stupidly agreed.

Hi mum2b,


Hubby did most of the PV then...on Saturday mornings from 8-1pm.
He had to assemble the kids for different activities (like wushu, chinese calligraphy)...when class is full, he would call the teacher-in-charge to come down to bring the students up. I did PV once...ie to wash 6 cartons of sweet potatoes for Total Defence Day.

wah Janet .. salut to you
showed your posting to hubby, he smiled and he hoped he gets the same chance as yours :lol:
