All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[Luanee]

xuanxuanwu:

For applying the parents volunteers of the Nanyang Primary school or raffles girls' primary school, does any one have such experices to share? and normally they request you to do what? or what do you need to be good at ? thanks

For RGPS, the interviewer is looking for u to commit beyond 40 hrs, ie to continue to PV after ur girl gets a place in the school. No concern with where u stay as typically all PVs get a place at phase 2B regardless where they stay (no balloting for past few years).

I am looking for a school in the east, thinking of Maha Bodhi, but it does not accept PV, only members of SBF. Anyone knows if I register as a SBF member now, can I get my girl to register for 2010 P1?

I tried to call up SBF for a friend and they said they don't accept members anymore. But I happened to chance upon SBF website last week and there was this membership thing (eg. $100 for registration and $100 for annual fees). Not sure if this works.

Hi zero118IS,


Sorry for asking, but are you sure you want to join organizations that you don’t initially have a part in just to let your child get into the school? I’ve heard of a school that removed that as a privilege a year or two back and the a parent I know was so devastated. Not convenient to mention which one, but there are only that many such schools in singapore you can go and find out.

Just being concerned…

bukit panjang:

so it means that I must try to get into the PV?


So which primary is better, Raffles Girls Sch or Nanyang Pri Sch

let me throw you another consideration.

Raffles Girls is a GIRL only school, Nanyang is a mixed school.
Less \"competition\" for that exculsive primary 1 space?

Hi, anyone got any experience being a PV at Rulang Primary School? Do you know what type of volunteer work they are more interested in?


I’m thinking of being a PV at Rulang Primary school.

Thanks.
