All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[Nokyung]

Helllo All;


I am new here, Wonder if anyone experience getting PV from Singapore Chinese girls. Any special procedures and need to register how many years in advance?

I heard from friend that if you want to do PV for Raffle Girl need at least 3 years . (if your kid born in year 2005 need to register for PV from 1 Jan 09 on ward)


Thank you.

Hi,


You call the school up and ask for the procedures.

As for RGPS, you do not require to 3 years in advance as PV. You only need to apply 1 1/2 year in advance for PV.

Does anyone know how many volunteers being accepted respective Pri School? I had asked the school but seem they not going to reveal this information.


Therefore by analysing the current Phase 2B would have a good gauge on the number of accepted PV?

Phase 2B is not just for volunteers but also clan or church affiliates. But yes, it would be a good gauge of the level of competition posed by this group of parents.

Phase 2B also include RC members

Just to share a sad news from one of my cousin.


She is hoping to put her daughter at St Hildas. They stayed more than 2 Km away from the school. So doing PV will kinda of enhance her chance.
Just prior to the recent Phase 2B, she has already clocked more than 100hrs + she even pledged to the school that she will do PV till Oct.

However during the registration under 2B, the demand is so overwhelming!!! Imaging so many PV + Church Afflication + Those Grassroots… !!!
In the end, my cousin does not even get the chance to ballot and is already disqualitfied.

Felt so sad and unjusty for her. Sigh…now, have to look for other alternative.

So before you go for any PV, please do your homework to see how high are your chances to get in!

That is indeed sad. What makes it worse is that this is one of the cases that could not be predicted a year ahead of the event since it is caused by the school reducing its intake by one entire class.

I'm not sure what makes a school increase or reduce its intake and whether it is pre-planned, but I think it would be most helpful if schools can warn parents taking up the PV schemes of their plans for restructuring in-takes as early as possible. This would help alleviate problems such as these. Maybe we should lobby MOE to enforce this.

Perhaps Parents would need to take note of Church Afflication + Those Grassroots... !!!! where this would be a Mission Impossible for doing PV.
