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.

mambobb:

you mean we have to start to register PV for kid born in 2007? I am so confused now.


What are the criteria the sch is looking at for the PV?

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!

Regarding PV application, call up school when child is 3…always better to be KS. I called when son was 3…person-in-charge said too early. Then nearing end of the year, I called again to enquire if can write in, I was told to do so in Jan, which I did. Basically have to follow up closely.

Hi Janet, you are right! It is better to be KS than be sorry later as PV policy may change form time to time. :idea:

When it comes to our kids' education, HAVE to be kiasu...policies keep changing and sometimes without our knowledge. I think we are not the only parents calling the schools to find out.

MY girl is borned in 2007. So does it mean that I need to apply for PV already? I checked FMPS’s website, they didn’t stand whether can send in application for kids borned in 2007 but Henry Park is accepting PV for kids borned in 2007.


I don’t know which school to choose from as my HDB at Dawson road will only be done in 2016. Not sure whether they allow me to register my girl in the schools above. Can anyone advise me?

Thank you very much!

you can register your child in any school in singapore. it is just a matter of whether your child can get a place in the school or not.

go thru the registration phases carefully and call the school you are keen in for further information.
