VooVoo,


Total 140 applicants, only 20 will be selected. So chance is quite slim.

Hi Mishasha,

Best of luck to you to get selected...:)

BTW, 20 out of 140 is very little. Do u know if they have more grassroots leaders taking up the places at phase 2B, that's why so little places allocated for PV this time round or some other reasons?

Thanks & Best Regards,
chie

Chie,


I am not selected yet, only went for interview. From the past yr record, there are only 56 seats under Phase 2B. So I guess they reserved half for PV and the rest for grassroot. :xedfingers:

Hi Mishasha,

Thanks for the reply.
Hope u get selected. Good luck!..:)

BTW, can I ask if you attach any resume together witht the PV application form? From the interview, which areas of expertise do u think they are more interested in? Did they ask u what would u do if you are not selected as PV? Any \"model\" answers to recommend?

Thanks & Best Regards,
chie

Voo,


\"The school reserves the right to reject applicants as the number of vacancies in the Parent Volunteer Programme is LIMITED. The number of applications received usually exceeds the number of parent volunteers the school wishes to engage. As such, an interview will only be held for shortlisted applicants only. No telephone calls would be entertained during the selection periods in May. All unsuccessful applicants will be notified by post by late July 2009. \"

The above quoted from Roysth's website. Let's hope we are selected for PV. Btw, even PV still need to ballot if not lucky. Was told 1 PV done 100hrs work and need to ballot in 2007, she was the only one not balloted eventually. Oh my god!

Chie,


There is a form you can download from Roysth’s website. But I wrote a letter stating my expertise (what I can contribute ) in details. I support that with research and statitstics. So on top of saying you can contribute in general administrative work (like Pr 1 reigstration, School Fun fair, camps, Sports Day etc), you may wish to highlight in your letter what you can do (eg. IT website design n maintenance, teaching piano to students,
sports coach, health talk ).

I think the school requires parents a high level of committment. At the same time, you are able to gauge whether the school is really suitable for your child. They only mentiioned that due to overwhelming response, they have to reject some applicants.
