[quote=\"Buzzmom\"]Hi there - I'm new to this and have a DD born in 2007. I am wondering if we can do PV at 2 different schools. Is this possible?

not a problem - however during registration, you may only apply at 1 of the schools you did PV in. Also, make sure you can complete the hours, else it's just time wasted.

Once being selected for PV, must make sure you complete the hours required and submit the time chit to the admin to get that important letter to qualify for Phase 2B registration...very much like finishing the course of antibiotics given by doctor to get well.

Well said, well said :goodpost:[/quote]Thanks so much for the tips. So how long does it take to complete 40hr of PV job - within a year or 2 years?

Hi there,


Can someone please enlighten me.

If the PV applicant selection is during May and June. When will parents be informed of the outcome (successful) and when do they start volunteering?

I was successful PV apln at Pei Hwa. For my case, I got the call from sch sometime in Sept and started PV activities from Oct-May, by which time I've clocked 50+ hrs. Nov-Dec was the lull period as sch was closed for the holiday.

Hope I'm not wrong, but PV starts around June/July...bcos the hours must be chalked up before May the next year...P1 registration starts in July. The letter to apply under 2B needs some time to be sent out.

The school I may be considering closes its application for PV in April. The website says the selection process is from May to June, hence I take it from both your responses that PV can start anytime bet July and Oct, but must end by May the following year.

:thankyou: janet_lee88 and markfch.

Appreciate your help.

Based on PVs that I've talked to, seems that the selection process is always late due to a variety of reasons. For my case, was told that the outcome will be known by Aug but in actual fact it was late by one mth.

Just took a look at the P1 registration form, it mentioned that PV requirement must be completed by 30 Jun. But since nobody likes last min surprises, most schs will work with PV to complete everything by May. Good luck to your PV apln
