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.

Thanks Mishasha...:)
This PV route seems like a tough battle. Actually, all the routes for priority registration seem to be very tough...haha...
I am not in the \"fight\" this year but I can just imagine the kind of pressures. Good luck to you and Voo Voo. Hope both of u get selected.

Thanks & Best Regards,
chie

What do you mean system is slower as compared with other schools??? :?

Oh, my collegues told me that she will not try to register her gal to CHIJ Schools as she claimed that CHIJ Schools' system of education a little bit slow, she said is the 教学方式节奏会比起其他学校有点慢.

Thanks for your info. I know CHIJ schools emphasized more on their character development. Not so much on results.
