Hi, i'm a newbie to PV. I'm considering to apply for PV at Nan Hua (staying<1km) or Henry Park (staying1-2km) next year since DD will be turning 4years old then.


Can i find out whether only one parent can do PV or can both parents do PV jointly to clock up the 40 hrs?

Many thanks!

Some schools allow both parents to clock the hours but some just allow one.

I suggest applying to BOTH schools as you might not get selected as a PV even tho you want to volunteer.

If you can spare the time, I suggest you do PV for both schools and monitor the situation on registration day. Always work better if you have more options.

If you have the time, there is no harm to do more PV. that's y we are here... kiasu parents

I think some are working and some are not. For those who works, I think they take leave or time off.

My ex-colleague went as far as to tender her resignation (tried to take 1 year no-pay leave, but HR deem that PV is not a good enough reason for granting no-pay leave) so that she can PV in 3 schools! So she has more choices during 2B registration. She is Singaporean by the way. Really :salute: her for her dedication. In the end, she succeeded in enrolling her boy in one of the 3 schools she PVed in. I'm really happy for her that her sacrifice and labour paid off.

I did my PV before I go to work since the school is within 5 min walking distance from home

In my situation with 2 kids and no maid nor in-law helping, PV would not be an available option for me if I am still working. Wouldn't even have time to start reading up on P1 registration info from KSP forum! Glad that I am still able to catch up in time since I stopped work few months ago. Reading up on KSP forum has provided a great start.
