All About Parent Volunteers (PV)
-
SNGS is a good school. All the best to your PV application.

Dear Parents,
Do the schools have their own 'Quota" of Parent Volunteers(PV)? If the sch reach the no of PV required, will they stop accepting the PV application for a particular yr? It seem tedious & extra work for the school to accept lot of PV which they required. -
Kstkst:
How does PV work being allocated? Do u tell the school what you want to do or they will allocate?
From my experience,I had submitted a PV application.In the form there was a entry for skill.I filled up my skills.
They have traffic duty,internal school activities such as racial harmony day during recess and sometimes after school and excursion trips.
I gave my flexible hours to incharge of PV.I chose the activities that in my flexible hours and my husband can do also. -

There is no sense taking in too many PVs when the school doesn't have enough places to go to that many PVs. That will only create more unhappiness and resentment when these PVs fail to get a place after spending hours serving the school.
That said, we are really not sure if all schools practice that. :roll: -

Hi zoozoozoo
If you intent to do PV for SNGS, do follow up closely with the school on the PV application date. For your information, the PV application for child admission to P1 in 2013 started on 1 Sep 2010 and ended on 16 Sept 2010. The PV application was only \"open\" for 16 days. If you do not submit the PV form within this 16 days, you will not be considered. So please take note..
Good luck! :xedfingers:
really appreciate yr reply!My DD is now only 2 years old and I am really keen to do PV to increase my chance of getting her in. I have an elder one and we lost the ballot some years back. :gloomy: I remembered whenever I ran into some aunties/uncles ard my neighbourhood, they will ask me how come I don't let my elder daughter study at SNGS since we are just a minute walk from the school. Haiz...they think i don't want meh....i kana ballot out mah.Now my girl have to go to another all girls' school several kilometres away. Therefore, i hope to join PV for my younger one to increase my chance.Another princess in my stomach and so I really hope to secure a place for them... :grphug:
Dun worry.. you can try SNGS for DD2 again. You won't be able to avoid the balloting but with planning, you will be better prepared for it. Once DD2 gets in, you can try to transfer DD1 to the same school..
All the best!

Because by the time her DD2 enters primary school 5 years from now, her DD1 is already studying in secondary school!
