cherrygal:

Sorry ah, getting really confused... if my dd was born in 2009, when should I register for Parent Volunteer at a school I am targeting? Can I choose to volunteer earlier than the stipulated time frame i.e. start now?


:?:

Different schools will have different criteria. You might want to check with the schools directly.

Regarding 'jobs' for PVs, until now nobody knows what the schools look for. So PV applicants can only write in and tell school what they are good in and wait for school to advise if they are shortlisted.

yes mambob, for nan chiau, i have to register for PV in october 2011 when they out the form online. depends on which school you intend to enrol your girl, you can call up the school to check and confirm their PV registration date.

My experience is that you must prepare at least 2 years ahead of registration. Some schools will requires 40hrs whereas another maybe 60hrs.

The best part is that you don’t know what is individual school requirement but just submit the PV application form first. They will call you up if your profile happen to meet their needs. So just do your homework and submit the PV form or make enquiry to those schools that you are keen at least 2 year ahead!
