One question on PV, i received the email from the principle and he stated:\"YOu will need to volunteer your services for at least 40hrs, and served as an active PSG member for at least a year in order to qualify...\"


I understand the 40hrs, but I dont understand what is PSG member. Can help? :oops:

PSG = Parent Support Group :politebleah: , so what they are asking is 40 hours and 1 year of PSG , that sounds harsh...

2014 !! That's 3 years away, which school are you doing PV for? I thought only NHPS have to submit PV application 3 years before P1 reg...

I am doing PV for Tampines Pri. But based on the 2010 statistic, there isn't any PV register for this sch. I am not sure whether should I start to KS to register anot as 3yrs down the road, no one knows what will happen.

Since there isnt any PV for 2010, why they want to include PSG together with PV? :x

PSG is for parents whose children are already in the school. The work that you do is no different from that of PV's.

If PSG is for parents whose children are in the sch already, then why they include this in PV requirements? :?

To prepare parents that their \"road to volunteering\" doesn't end with the successful application of their children into the school.

Very often, parents who volunteered just to qualify their children in P2B stopped contributing once their children managed to get into the school.

But what can the school do if those ex-PVs do stop volunteering?
Kick their kids out of school?? :scared:

Cannot do anything. That's why the school is relying on \"gentlemen's agreement\" here by indicating upfront its expectations of the parents, hoping that parents will set a good example to show their children their commitment.
