Red Swastika

this year only those 1~2km need ballot. those 15 within 1km got in without balloting and 7 seats left for 1~2km.

last yr all of those in phase 2b got in without balloting. so lucky. i know a pv staying outside 2km got in. If this yr, she would not get a chance to ballot and waste her time volunteering.

Hi my girl was born in 2007, called RS just now and informed that PV for 2007 parents only start in Nov 2011, just wondering what will be the selecting criteria for PV?


and heard something about red swastika society member, which would serve same purpose as PV, anyone knows details about that? thanks!

crazylake,

When I joined pv last time, it was the ex- ex principal so probably not the same. I guess you need to highlight your strength and the areas in which you can help. For e.g. if you’re SAHM, you can tell them your hours are flexible and can come in as and when required for contact time (one hr every week on Wed). I heard a parent can take professional photographs so she volunteered to be photographers on special events. Another was an artist and she volunteered in some art project.

Not so sure about RS Society. You could also explore Grassroot which be more flexible.

Maybe can proposed to help science club or coach the Psle students science subject? I guess the more you write the higher chance of being selected.
Wish u Good luck! I realized p1 registration is getting tougher. My friends who got in through ballot was so happy like strike toto :grphug:

Yep, if my daughter got the seat, i will also go for a family celebration I was initially planing for PV for Tao Nan, thinking of the difficulty in getting the seats and not staying within 1km, finally we gave up the idea, and only focus on RSS, hopefully can get through...

PV hard to get selected. Clan or society just need to know existing members and pay for membership is easier.

Good luck in advance to parents registering in RSS under Phase 2C. I was not given the opportunity then as my mil's address, though fall under 1km, my child will be under the 1-2km ~ which gives her no chance to balloting at all.


Having waited for 2 years, she was finally given a chance in RSS. I would strongly recommend you to go for this school if you are a strong believer in academics. Having been to 3 schools before, I would comment that RSS have prepared and provided the opportunity for every child to excel academically. Best part is, they do not believe is streaming your child at young age. SO even if your child is a late-bloomer, he or she still is still given the fair opportunity till end of P4, which to me is very important. How many children out there actually know the importance of examinations at the tender young age ? :roll:
