All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[AZmom]

Hi it was about a group of 6 - 7 parents for a session. They will ask you to introduce yourselves, kid’s name, address, what and how you can do for school. why you choose kh and how is your flexibility in terms of the timing. The parents took turn to answer the questions. There are almost 100 applicants but they will select 30 only.

In groups? Then the last parent to answer can reference to all answers and give the best answer? Don't sound very fair....

Went for meet up this afternoon at RSS with the principal, vice principal and 2 teachers about the PV. According to them, they only select less than 10 PV based on school needs. And fortunately we r one of them. There are 2 tasks assigned and one is quite interesting and challenging but we can do it. It’s quite a very relaxing meet up and more details will be followed in 2 weeks time. Oh, b4 went in, the clerk talked to us and said how lucky we are cos they rejected many many applicants. Now can’t wait for the assignment to begin but we need to start planning on one of the tasks…PV here we are and come…hehe

Able to share the nature of the interesting and challenging tasks? So that other PV can have a better expectation...

Hi Parents,


I’ve just received confirmation from Paya Lebar MGS that I’ve been accepted as PV. Was so looking forward to being accepted and now that I am, I feel worried.

Being a working mother, I anticipate a lot of annual leaves needed to be taken in order for me to fulfill the 40 hours… So, was just wondering if anyone has any idea what should I be expecting (meaning assignments or tasks given by the school)?

For me i took abt total of 11 days (include abt 5 Childcare leave) to complete my 40hrs of services in BPPS. Assignment that i took was mainly excursions, help out in festival, school IT and sports day.

I only took 7 days of leave previously for PV. Most of the assignments I had were taking up 6 - 8 hours daily.

In this way, you will not have to be away from work for too many days. But many PV will think likewise and in the end, it will be competitive to bid for the slot. :lol:
