All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[dibo]

hi luanee, i’m staying at blk 350, the other end of ave 2, have called up the school to checked & was told i’m out of 2km.

thats y, i’m thinking of PV in HPPS, if failed, PeiTong will be my back-up…

[Luanee]

Hi dibo,


Yah pv-ing in HPPS would be a good choice, only thing is that it’s not easy to get accepted. But once u get accepted then chances pretty high. PeiTong was my back-up plan too… Ur kid is boy or girl?

No, HPPS doesnt allow both parents to sign up. In fact I wrote in last time with 2 names and they asked one of us to withdraw. Are u SAHM? Think that would be more attractive for them since u can commit more hours.

I have 2 girls, reason why I asked was to suggest u to try PV at girls' school. Seems like this choice is out for u

hi luanee,


oh, is it. i saw the form, need to fill in both parent details & photo & commitment.. :?
anyway, still need to discuss with dh. he feel that pei tong is also ok, as its within walking distance. moreover, we are the type that we rather our son do well in a normal school, than at the bottom of good school..
no, i'm not a SAHM, i have a helper at home to look after my son. i'm working, today not too busy , so can reply faster.

I am just wondering what school is looking out for in the PV. They have their standard form and a list of areas which we can indicate what we can volunteer, but still got rejected.


I personally find that it is more fair if the school can divulge what is their selection criteria. Maybe they should do balloting as well for those interested in PV.

I also submitted my application to HPPS, note that the closing date is 15 Oct if I am not mistaken.

So Luanee, did HPPS accept your PV application?

Jav, some schools do ballot for PV applicants. Well at least TNS does practise that.

Hello autumn82,

PV application dateline for child born in 2004 is already over ( 30June,09).
At MOE website, it's stated parent volunteer to be registered with school not later than 1st July of the year, in order to qualify for phase2B in following year Pri 1 registration.
