Would anybody share info on the schools’ criteria for picking a PV? Education qualifications? Age? Job? Or will somebody stand a better chance if he/she is well-educated, and is now semi-retired, meaning having lots of time on their hands?

different schools use different criteria. the schools have full autonomy in deciding how many and the selection process and how to pick.

very much depends on the needs of the school for that particular year, as needs do change even for the same school

I signed up pv for rosyth pri and got a call from them for an interview. Does that means I am accepted to the pv program?

Can somebody share their experiences and what are they going to ask?

Generally no, being called up for an interview just mean u are being shortlisted. But at least it means got chance now. All the best!!

Hi all,

Was filling up the HPPS PV form and there was a box that states"I’m applying PV for other schools also"
I find that weird but if i am truthful, will it affect my chances of getting in?

Hi,


Has any parents received any updates from Ai Tong yet on the PV programme starting July 2011? I have signed up since Dec 2010, and have not heard anything back from them. Called the admin, but they said we will probably be notified only end June IF we are selected. Is it so late? I know of other schools who are holding their PV briefing this week…

Thanks.

I've just called up a school that I'm PV-ing. The lady in-charged told me that even though I've clocked in the 40 hours, I must still continue to PV; else they (the school) will terminate me. Is that the common practice?


DS will be in P1 in 2012.)

Hey, i have sent in my PV form last year, yet to receive any call for interview. I thought they mentioned that for Pri 1 (2012), they will only start calling for interview in June 11? You have already been selected as PV?
